Helpful Tips:
What type of paper is best for this paper strip heart craft?
We used cardstock because we like the sturdiness of it, and it holds its shape well. But you can also make paper hearts from coloured printer paper, construction paper, scrapbook paper, or even thin craft foam.
Can I use more paper strips to make my paper hearts?
Yes! You can make paper strip hearts with more strips of paper, or make smaller ones with fewer strips. Just remember to make each new colour a consistent amount shorter or longer than the next.
How do I change the size of my paper strip heart?
This craft is super easy to make in different sizes. To change the size of your paper heart craft, simply adjust the size of your paper strips. If you want your paper strip heart to be bigger, you’ll need longer strips. If you want it to be smaller, you’ll need shorter strips. You might also want to change the width of your paper strips when changing the overall size. A smaller heart may look good with paper strips that are only 1/4 or 1/2 inch wide, while a larger paper strip heart would look good with strips that are 2 inches thick. This Valentine’s Day craft is such an easy and creative way to bring a little love to any space! Hang your paper strip hearts from door handles, arrange them in a shadow box to hang on your wall, or suspend them from the ceiling for a playful touch. Wherever you place them you’ll definitely fall head over heels for these paper heart decorations.
