Giant Tissue Heart

Looking for a quick and easy decoration for Valentine's Day?  This giant tissue heart is perfect, and if you have some foam board, tissue paper and double stick tape, you can get started right now!

For each heart, you will need:
-2 white foam boards or cardboard
- tissue paper
- roll of double stick tape
- scissors
- empty water bottle

- packing tape

Step 1-Draw half of a heart onto one piece of the foam board or cardboard and cut out.  Trace the first half heart onto the your second foam board so both halves are the same size. 

Step 2- Cut out second half of heart.

Step 3-Line up both sides, and tape together in the center using packing tape.  Make your heart as big or small as you want.  We used a 16 x 24 size foam board that we purchased from the dollar store.  You can get bigger boards from a craft store.  

Step 4-Cut out squares of tissue paper.  We cut ours 2 x 2.  They don't have to be perfect. Separate all of them to make the process of taping go faster. 

Step 5-Make a row of double stick tape across the heart.  

Step 6- Take one square at a time, center it over the top of the water bottle, and press down to form around the top of the water bottle. 

Step 7- Hold the paper in place on the water bottle, flip, and press into the tape.  Repeat this down the entire line of tape. 



Step 8-Add another row of double sided tape 1 1/2 inches over, and use the same technique until your heart is covered.

Make a few in different colors to decorate for Valentine's Day.  These would be cute for a shower or wedding decoration too!
