These are great for Valentine’s parties or to surprise friends, family members, or maybe a special neighbor.

Parents: Valentine’s stickers are easy for young children to use and they give this craft a nice, finished look.

You Will Need:

• Paper towel tube, cut in thirds
• Safety scissors
• Colored tissue paper, cut in 11-by-11-inch squares
• Tape
• Chenille stems
• Filler items: candy hearts, small toys, a small photo, a note that says: “I Love You” or “I’m Glad We’re Friends”
• Stickers, glitter glue, sequins, crayons

What to Do:

1. Center a paper towel tube on two squares of tissue paper.
2. Fold the paper over the tube and roll it up. Place a sticker or a small piece of tape in the middle.
3. Twist one end of the paper. Wrap a chenille stem around the paper and twist. Curl the ends of the stem around your finger.
4. Place the filler items in the other end. Twist the paper closed and secure with another chenille stem. Curl the ends.
5. Decorate your popper however you like. Outline hearts with glitter glue or add sequins to give it sparkle. If you wish, add the name of the person to receive it.
