Centsible Creativities: Conversation Hearts Craft Ideas

I love conversation hearts, and with Valentine Day quickly approaching I thought I would share a few easy craft ideas with you.

For the first craft you will need:

A 4" Styrofoam floral sphere
Conversation heart candies
A low temp glue gun
Glue sticks
Small glass candle holder

I started by gluing the Styrofoam sphere to the candle holder.

If you wanted to you could paint the Styrofoam with a pastel colored acrylic paint. I chose not to because I was in a hurry and wanted a quick craft!

I began by gluing the candies all around the base in rows.

I continued up the ball until it was covered. I glued them on in a random order. I think it added to the charm. It took me 16 minutes to complete the sphere. Isn't it cute!?

For the picture frame you will need:

A picture frame. I used a very old wooden 8x10 frame that I had. You can find these at the thrift store for very cheap. Or buy one at the Dollar Store.
Conversation heart candies.
Low Temp glue gun.
A photo for your frame. I used a free printable from The girl creative. If you would like it visit her page and download the picture here: Valentine Subway Free Printable

Frame and hearts.

For this craft I simply glued the hearts to the frame in rows. It took me 16 minutes to complete this craft!

For the last craft you will need:

1. A glass container or vase. I made mine by gluing an ice cream pedestal dish to the bottom of a vase. I turned the ice cream dish upside down and used E6000 glue to secure it to the vase. I have had this vase for three years and it hasn't come apart yet, but do handle it carefully!

2. A candle.
