It’s Valentine’s Day today and we are making a cute cupid out of toilet paper roll

Toilet Paper Roll Cupid

Paint a toilet paper roll pink

Paste eyes onto the roll. Alternatively you may dip your finger into white paint and print it as the eyes, paint black for the eyeball.

Draw the mouth

You’ll need some aluminium foil

Twist the foil until you get a strip and shape it into a wing. Repeat until you get a pair of wings

Use cellophane tape to tape the wings into place

Cut a strip of white paper and paste onto the cupid. Get some cotton and paste it too as the hair

If you love someone, put their name in a circle, instead of a heart, because hearts can break, but circles go on forever.

It takes more then lace and ribbons,
And lovely verses too,
To make a Valentine thats nice enough for you. It takes a world of special thoughts,
Tucked into every line,
And that’s exactly what you’ll find inside this Valentine.

This nice little paper basket can be used to place little gifts for the little ones.

Woven Heart Basket.

You'll need two different colours of papers. Fold and cut so that each piece has 3 loops.

Starting with the bottom 1/3 loop of the green piece, weave it through the first red loop, insert the second red loop through this green piece and weave this green piece through the 3rd red loop again.

Do the opposite way for the middle loop of the green piece. First weave the right red loop through this green loop, then weave this middle green loop through the middle red loop and then weave the red loop through this green loop again.

If done correctly, your basket should be able to open this way.

Using a craft scissors, cut a red strip and weave a green strip through it as the handle of the basket.

Back in my school days, I loved making bookmarks for my friends. As students, that was what we often used. Want to try making an origami heart bookmark for your loved ones? Let’s go..

Origami Heart Bookmark.

Fold in half to make a crease.

Cut along the crease with scissors.

Fold in half to make a crease and fold back. Fold both sides to make creases again and fold back. You should get four columns.

Fold to make a crease and fold back.

Using the recent crease as your guide, turn the paper and fold and turn back.

Fold to meet the center line.

Fold the other so both meet the center line.

Fold backward in the dotted line.

Push the upper part up and flatten it.

Do the same for the other side.

Fold and turn over.

Your origami heart bookmark is done.
