3D Heart Decorations - gorgeous Doodle Art Hearts. This is a great collaborative project for kids. Get stuck into the zen of doodle hearts and then turn them into these gorgeous 3d Hearts #valentines #3dhearts #decorations

I live with a wide range of artists and crafters so we needed a craft we could create that anybody at any age or stage of their creative journey could join in. One of my children is obsessed with drawing mandalas at the moment so we began by making mandala hearts…

One each really wasn’t enough… and hours later we had a pile of hearts to create something with, so from mandalas we turned them into hanging hearts…

Materials Required for 3D Heart Decorations

At least three hearts cut out of any paper you might have… craft paper, printer paper, any paper that can withstand a little artiness on it. I chose black paper for our demonstration, but really any paper will do. Don’t use stiff card, it is hard to manipulate and fold.
Markers, paints, pencils, collage materials, anything that you would like to decorate your hearts with. You can really go mad here… from glitter for proficient crafters, to stickers for absolute beginners.
Glue sticks, or project glue, depending on the type of paper you used.
A thread (about elbow to fingertip in length), it can be string, embroidery thread, twine…
A few pretty beads or buttons to thread onto the one end of your thread…

Se7en Steps to Make Your Hundreds of Hanging Doodle Hearts

1. Each person needs a heart to decorate, and then another and another… three in total. Some enthusiastic artists might need more, but multiples of three work well. We used buttons, petals, dried flowers, beads and markers.

1. Otherwise thread an inch or two of beads onto your thread… for prettiness and to help your hanging hearts to hang beautifully.

1. Line your three hearts and your beaded thread together and get your glue ready.
2. Fold each heart in half and glue the halves of two adjacent hearts together…
