Strap on these heart-shaped glasses to turn Valentine's Day a shade wacky.
| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Craft foam
Pen Scissors Pipe cleaners Envelope | |
| Seasons: Valentine's day | |
| Materials: craft foam, pipe cleaners | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Draw a heart on craft foam that's about 2 1/2 inches wide
and 2 1/2 inches tall. Draw a second heart inside the first
that's roughly 1 1/2 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches tall. Cut them
both out. Then trace around the see-through heart to make another
just like it. |
| 2. | Twist together 2 different-colored pipe cleaners, leaving about I inch untwisted at each end. Cut them in half with scissors (use old ones since pipe cleaners can dull the blades). Fold over the twisted ends and tuck in the sharp points so they aren't exposed, then bend those ends into curved earpieces. |
| 3. | Poke the other end of one of the pipe cleaners through the outside edge of one heart, about two thirds of the way up the side. Twist it around the other pipe cleaner, then wrap the ends back around the heart and tuck in the sharp tips. Repeat with the other pipe cleaner arm. |
| 4. | Add a nose bridge by poking a 3-inch section of pipe cleaner through the inside edge of each heart and twisting it back onto itself. The hearts should sit about 1/2 inch apart. |
| 5. | Make a case for the glasses by sealing a #10 business
envelope (we used a translucent vellum one) and trimming about 3
inches from one end, rounding the corners. Write a message on a
paper heart and glue it to the envelope.
