Crafts: Hearts Mobile

Just (not) in time for Valentine's day..

A mini mobile with hanging hearts !

Materials:
2 popsicle sticks
string
red and pink construction paper
scissors
glue

Time needed:
15-30 mins

1. Criss cross two popsicle sticks, making right angles. Using string, wrap around each corner several times, to make the popsicle sticks cross tight.
2. Cut four long pieces of string and individually wrap them around the center of the cross and branch out to one of the popsicle sticks. Tie two knots to secure the string. These four strings will be the strings your hearts will hang from.
3. Now you should have four strings hanging from each end of the popsicle sticks. Using pink and red ... or whatever colour construction paper, cut out hearts (or any other shapes if you'd like!) in duplicates. There needs to be two copies of the same heart/shape.
4. Position the hearts wherever you like on the strings and glue them on sandwiching the string.
5. A paperclip can be used as a hook. Hook one end to the wrapped strings in the center of the popsicle sticks cross and the other end, wherever you'd like to hang the mobile.
6. You're done! :)
