To make this Valentine's Day craft you will need: hard candy, red chenille wire, floral stem wire, narrow ribbon (red, pink, or white), and pliers. You can buy these materials in a craft store or even in Wal-Mart.

Candy Hearts - Step 1. Take a piece of floral stem wire (16 ga or thicker; if you take thinner wire, use several pieces together to have a stronger heart frame). Bend the wire into a circle using pliers.

Valentine Hearts Crafts - Step 2. Shape the circle into a heart.

Valentine Craft Ideas - Step 3. Take candies with red wrappers (cinnamon discs in this case) and using red chenille wire (pipe cleaner) join them to the outer contour of the heart.

Valentines Craft Ideas - Step 4. Make a loop out of a piece of narrow red ribbon and attach it to the back top of the heart with a little bit of hot glue. Now you can hang it wherever you want.

Valentine Crafts for Kids - Step 5.You can use any candy you want. Your candy heart can be any size. It is all up to you. For example, you can make a strawberry candy heart out of strawberry flavored hard candy. Or you can use cinnamon discs and mint starlight candy; you can see the result in the picture below.

I wish you Happy St. Valentine’s Day!
