I had a few red/pink paint chips from painting this playroom nightstand, and I thought they would be great upcycled into valentines.
First, I took a heart cookie cutter and traced it with a pencil on the backside.
Then I took a razor blade and cut out the heart, leaving one of the straight sides connected to the outside frame to create the flap.
Next, I took a coordinating scrap of paper, spread glue on the back of the paper, adhered it to the backside of the heart and trimmed around the heart.
I took a photo of Elise and resized it to fit inside the heart opening and printed out a few copies.
Then I sandwiched the photo between the paint chip and a thin piece of scrap cardboard with a glue stick.
After the glue was dry, I gave Elise some red and pink crayons and heart stickers and let her decorate the backside of the valentines.
