  • Your heart craft is so cute and whimsical. The ‘love you to pieces’ is the perfect addition. I’m visiting from Artsy Fartsy Mama. If interested, I shared abstract art gift bags #29. Have a nice weekend!

  • Such a cute project. I am helping plan a valentine’s party for my daughter’s class and this will be a perfect project for her class. Thank you for the share.

    • Thanks! And YES totally doable with a class. Just use the back of the puzzle pieces so the paint dries more quickly and regular white glue then set aside to dry! <3
