This Valentine button heart craft is so simple to make. It’s a great activity for an older kid to do! I love how it turned out and it so cute as our new Valentine homemade decoration.

My girl loves to do crafts. She loves all things dealing with glue and paint. I picked up some supplies for her to do a few crafts and this is one she loved. This button heart craft cost less than $10 and I got the supplies from Hobby Lobby. I just love Hobby Lobby!

Full disclosure: I actually bought too many buttons. I had no idea how many I would need but I only used 1 full pack of 100. I spent a little more than $10 but I didn’t need to since I didn’t use the other button bag 🙂

Button Craft

The first few steps to start off with this button heart craft might be better for an adult to do. I chose to do them and then let her do the majority of the rest.

Supplies

  • Small canvas. I got an 8X10 and it turned out to be a good size.
  • masking or painters tape
  • black paint
  • red or pink buttons
  • good craft glue
  • paintbrush
  • felt heart (I used a pattern from an old heart I found in my supplies. You can also draw one on pink paper)

How to Make a Button Heart Craft

  1. Tape off the canvas to make rows. I’m not a perfectionist at all so my lines are not straight!!
  2. Using the black paint and brush, begin to paint the strips that are white. I did 2 coats.
  3. Let try! I waited about an hour.
  4. Carefully remove the tape to show the striped canvas.
  5. This step is not necessary but I found a felt heart in some supplies and then glued the buttons onto it to make sure I liked the size (and to make sure my buttons fit!) You can draw a heart or whatever you want!
  6. Make sure the buttons have dried and then carefully glue the felt heart onto the canvas.

 

 

A cute and simple craft to make this Valentine's Day- Button Heart Craft

I think it turned out really cute! I taped the canvas and then my daughter (age 10) did the rest on her own! I love simple projects that we can do together. I think it goes really well if the rest of my Valentine decor I have out this year.
