I love crafts that are practical and this is one that we love. The great thing about doing this craft is that it can be transformed for any occasion. They are also something great that can be slipped into your kids backpack or lunch bag for a special surprise.
Materials Needed:
- Scissors
- Craft foam
- Permanent markers
- Pipe cleaner
- Pencil
Instructions:
1. Cut a 1- to 2-inch heart from craft foam. With a permanent marker, print a short message on the front and the name of the giver on back.
2. Now poke an inch of the pipe cleaner through the bottom of the heart, bend it down, and twist it back around the remaining length of pipe cleaner.
3. Coil the pipe cleaner tightly around the pencil. Then gently pull up on the heart so that part of the coil bobs freely above the pencil, with several loops anchored around the eraser end.

When I see hearts I automatically forget all other seasons but Valentine. Thanks for reminding me they are not just for this season. By the way I am a huge fan of pencil toppers! Great tutorial.
