1. Heart & Arrow Wreath, $2

This Cupid’s arrow wreath is one of the most affordable options on our list. Take a few paint samples from your hardware store and a couple of pencils — voila!

What you’ll need:

• Paint swatches
• Two pencils
• Twine
• Glue
• Scissors and a heart template, or
• Heart hole punch (optional)

 

Directions:

1. Use glue and tape to create one long pencil from the two separate pencils.
2. Next, using one of the larger paint swatches, cut out a heart that’s shaped like an arrowhead and another heart to be the base of the arrow.
3. Create a 1-inch heart template you can trace to cut out small hearts from the paint swatches.
4. Attach twine at different lengths down the pencils, and glue heart paint swatch cutouts onto the twine.

Tip: You can also purchase a heart paper punch for around $8 to make this craft even easier.
