Valentine’s Day Kids Craft: Adorable Paper Clothes Line

Valentine’s Ideas for Kids & Parents > Valentine’s Day Kids Craft: Adorable Paper Clothes Line Craft

I saw something similar to this fun craft a while back and decided to have my boys do a variation of the clothes line craft with construction paper and store bought Valentine’s Day cards. It even doubles as a Valentine’s Day decoration for your home. We hung ours in our kitchen entry way and love it!

Supplies You Will Need for the Paper Clothes Line Valentine’s Day Craft:

Construction Paper - red, white, pink, purple, etc.

store bought Valentine’s Day cards - we used Transformers

string/yard for your line

markers, crayons

glue
stickers, other decorations of your choice

clothes pins

Craft Instructions:

Step 1: If your child is older than 5 they can help cut out the shirt shape from the different colored construction paper. If they are younger then you can go ahead and cut out the shirt template and have it ready for the younger kids to decorate. We cut out 6 construction paper shirts in red, pink, and white.

Step 2: Glue the pre-made cards to the center of the shirt.

Step 3: Write child’s or family members name on the shirt. We did one for each member of our family including our pets. Then decorate the shirt to your liking.

Step 4: Hang the string clothesline somewhere in your home then take a clothes pin and pin each paper shirt to the line like the image above. And, your done!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
