Valentine's Doily Banner Using Kids Artwork

Happy Valentine's Day Mess For Less readers! Hope you spend some quality time with your loved ones today.

I wanted to share a Valentine's Doily Banner that has been brightening up our home. My favorite things about it? The fact that it was cheap (the whole thing cost $1) and that I was able to incorporate my kids artwork in it.


Supplies you will need:
  • Kids artwork
  • Doilies
  • Glue
  • Scissors
  • Ribbon

Previously, I had the kids do some Golf Ball Painting. It was a fun activity and I was so happy with results that I thought I could use their artwork to create a banner.


I bought some red doilies at the dollar store and cut the center solid heart out of one of them. I used that heart as a template and then traced hearts onto the dried golf ball paintings.  I then cut out the painted hearts and glued them to the middle of the doilies.  Next, I strung the doilies on some red polka dot ribbon that I had leftover from Christmas. 


Then I hung them on the mantle. These would look great in an entry way too.


The kids loved seeing their artwork as part of the banner.


I hope you enjoy making this Valentine's banner with your kids today.  No one will believe it just cost you $1.

I love this because I am always unsure of what to do with the kids artwork/pictures they make for me in Sunday school. Thank you for your idea!
