Valentine's Day Kids Craft: Tissue Paper Vases

Here's a classic Valentine's Day Kids Craft for you! Tissue Paper Vases, I remember making these as a Girl Scout and in school. A great project that easy and quick!

Disclosure: I received product featured in this post. 


Today begins the Valentine's Day Edition of Craft Lightning! I've made a promise to the kids that this year we'll start actually making some of the projects on our crafty list instead of just adding to it. So, for this time around we decided to make classic tissue paper vases.


You can reuse old glass containers and tissue paper, it's quick enough the kids won't get bored, and the vases are perfect for filling with a holiday bouquet and giving to your Valentines.

Here's how we made them! P.S. We used a secret ingredient that helped up keep the tissue paper from ripping up!

Super easy and a great project to make with the kids. Using the Napkin Decou-Page formula helped my daughter keep from ripping up her tissue paper when we decoupaged! Valentine's Day Tissue Paper Vases. #ad

Supplies: 
Tissue Paper
Glass Containers 
Scissors
Sponge Brush
Decou-page NAPKIN

Start off by cutting your little tissue paper hearts to make a Valentine's Day vase. Classic crafting at it's best! Super easy and a great project to make with the kids.

To get started I cut off a piece of the red tissue paper, folded it in half a few times, and cut out several hearts. In the background you can see my daughter, Es,  patiently waiting for the scissors; she ended up making the red vase while I made the white.

Putting the tissue paper onto my recycled glass jar to make a decorative vase! Classic crafting at it's best! Super easy and a great project to make with the kids.

While Es unfolded and separated the hearts I cut a piece of white tissue paper to fit around my jar and decoupaged it into place. 

I used the Decou-Page Napkin formula and boy, did it make a difference. I didn't notice much of a difference while I worked but when Es was putting her paper on there were a couple times I cringed as she tried to move around her already saturated tissue. Luckily it didn't tear at all! Score one for the napkin formula-I'll probably use it again the next time the kids and I decoupage. 

Putting the finishing touches on my tissue paper vase! Classic crafting at it's best! Super easy and a great project to make with the kids.

Finally, I decoupaged on my little hearts. 

I wanted to show you how cute these vases are with actual flowers in them but couldn't find any at the store and the only thing I could grab from our yard would be cedar branches and well, I don't like cedar branches. So until I can get to a store that actually sells flowers...

Classic Craft of Tissue Paper Vases are the perfect Valentine's Day Craft Lightning project because they're quick and easy!
