Make Valentine's Day fun by making a photo frame and a heart-shaped pin with your child.

Step 1: Paint the frame
Help your child impress that special someone by decorating a photo frame together. Paint the frame with one coat of gesso or white craft paint.

Step 2: Paint the frame
Allow the gesso or white paint to dry and then paint each side of the frame a different color. When the paint dries, spray the frame with acrylic sealer.

Step 3: Embellish the frame
Embellish the frame by gluing craft jewels around it. Your loved one will be sure to appreciate it.

Tip
You can also use self-adhesive craft jewels.

Step 4: Make a magnet
Surprise your friends, family, and teacher with a heart-shaped pin. Mix the plaster of Paris according to package directions.

Step 5: Pour the plaster
Pour the plaster into the candy mold, let it sit for 2 minutes, and then place the back of the pin back into the plaster.

Step 6: Take the heart out
Wait for the plaster to dry, pop the heart out of the mold, and then paint it with acrylic paint.

Step 7: Spray with acrylic sealer
Spray the heart with acrylic sealer when the paint is dry and let your child present it to their Valentine. Happy Valentine's Day!
