In economic times like these we all need great valentine’s gift ideas that are simply beautiful and don’t break the bank. I wish I could take credit for this super simple, and incredibly cute sun catcher but I can’t.  Katherine from Katherine D Photography took a break from taking scrumptious  pictures long enough to make this valentine treat with her 3 year old daughter . I was lucky enough to see the results, and pass them on to you!

Take wax paper, a marker, glue, water and colored tissue paper (red, pink and white).

Mix equal parts glue and water on a paper plate.

Then tear up small pieces of tissue paper.

On the wax paper, draw a heart (or in our case, we drew hearts, this is our Valentine’s exchange project)

Dip the tissue paper into the glue/water mixture and then put it on the heart.

All the hearts done:

Once it’s done, let it dry.  I had to wait overnight and I put it on top of my dryer so that it would dry faster

Cut out the heart shape, punch some holes in it and string up ribbon so it can be hung
