You can make this heart cookie cutter + pom pom ornament in 5 minutes! Perfect for Valentine’s Day!

I’m so excited to help kick off a week full of Valentine crafts you can make in less than 15 minutes!

Yes, it’s another awesome Craft Lightning edition, our first of 2016!

I made this heart ornament in about 5 minutes with just a few supplies . . .

Supplies:

• miniature heart cookie cutter favor (1.5″)
  (I found mine at the dollar store, but you can find these favors online by using the “miniature heart cookie cutter favor” phrase.)
• pink pom pom, larger than cookie cutter opening
• scissors
• ribbon netting scrap
• pink string to hang
• decorative scissors (optional)

Let’s begin!

Step One: Tie the ribbon netting scrap around the heart cookie cutter near the top.

Just make a simple knot like this:

Step Two: Stick the pom pom through the cookie cutter.

Step Three: Squoosh the pom pom into the cookie cutter to flatten it a bit into the heart shape.

Step Four: Trim up the pom pom so there’s not much sticking out of either side.

Here’s what it looks like so far:

Step Five: Cut off some of the ribbon netting using regular or decorative (optional) scissors.

Step Six: Thread a piece of matching string underneath the knotted ribbon to make a simple hanger.

A sweet Valentine’s Day ornament!

Made in about 5 minutes!
