It’s been challenging trying to find activities to keep Dorothy busy during lockdown. Like her namesake, she’s drawn to rainbows and with Valentine’s Day coming up I thought these would fill a rainy afternoon at home 😁
You will need
Coloured A4 card or thick paper
Scissors
Stapler
Method
- Cut the card into 2.5cm wide strips along the long side. So you should have a collection of strips that are around 21 cm in length
- You need six strips for each heart. Once you’ve chosen them, cut 2.5cm off two of them and 5cm off two of them
- Stack the strips with the coloured side facing up, like this – short, medium, long
- Then with the coloured side facing down – long, medium, short
- If you’d like to attach multiple hearts together to make a garland, you should add a 3cm strip to middle, between the two long strips
- Staple one end through all six strips
- Fold the strips around to create a heart shape
- Staple through the other end of the six strips
Ta da! We had lots of fun making these rainbow hearts.
Love Rachel ❤️
