DIY Pencil Toppers – a unique gift alternative to cards on Valentine’s Day. This project is fun for kids of all ages and doesn’t require much time or effort.
Materials Needed:
Pencils, pipe cleaners, foam paper, scissors, and permanent markers.
Instructions:
1. Cut out 1 to 2 inch heart shapes from foam paper. Use a permanent marker (we used Sharpies) to write a short message. Write the giver’s name on the opposite side.
2. Poke a pipe cleaner about half an inch through the bottom portion of the foam heart, bend it down, and then give it a small twist to hold.
3. Next, coil the piper cleaner tightly around your pencil. Spread the coils however desired. You might consider letting a few coils bob freely above the tip of the pencil.
