- Pastel card stock (pink, purple, blue, green, and yellow)
- Alphabet stamps
- Red stamp pad
- Heart-shaped paper punch
- Double-sided tape
Procedure
- To make the conversation heart straw DIY for Valentine’s Day, use a heart-shaped paper punch to cut hearts from your pastel card stock. Punch two hearts per straw (and some more, in case of stamping errors).
- Then, with the help of alphabet stamps, add conversation heart phrases like “Luv U,” “Hug Me,” and “QT Pie” to half of your hearts with red ink.
- Next, place a strip of double-sided tape on one side of a blank heart and another strip on the blank side of a stamped heart of the same color.
- Place a straw over the tape on the blank heart, just below the bendy part.
- Finally, place the tape side of the stamped heart on top of the straw and press the edges of the two hearts together to seal it.
