Instructions for This Cute Heart Craft for Kids:

Glue a smaller heart in the center of a medium-sized felt heart. Do the same for another heart. These will be the cat’s ears.
Glue the “ears” to the top of the cat’s head upside down and equal distance from each other.
Tape or glue two small glittery felt hearts on each side of the cat’s face for the eyes.
Glue a googly eye on top of each of the glitter hearts.
Cut off the bottom corner of a medium-sized felt heart and tape it upside down to the bottom of the cat’s face.
Cut a few small pieces of yarn off the skein as the mouth for this easy heart craft.
Glue the yarn in the shape of a mouth on the medium-sized heart.
Wrap a small piece of pipe cleaner in the center of a group of 3 pipe cleaners to hold them together. Glue down the pipe cleaners to the cat’s face.
Glue a small heart on top of the pipe cleaners for the nose.
You can also add a little bow or foam rose to your cat to give it some personality.
Once your cat’s face is complete, you’re ready to display your adorable craft project! You can hang it on the wall, place it on a mantle or shelf, or even give it as a special Valentine’s Day gift to a loved one. Flip it over and write a sweet message to someone special to make it a Valentine or gift idea such as “You’re Purr-fect” or “You’re One Cool Cat”!
