Say a "hearty" thank you to your
volunteers this Valentine's Day with this creative mobile. Melt
purple, red, and pink crayon shavings between two sheets of wax
paper with a low-heat iron. Then cut out 5-inch hearts from the
cooled shavings. You'll need about 30 hearts. Punch a hole in the
top of each heart.
On separate, rectangular pieces of foam board, write the words
"Thank you for sharing your heart with the children of (church
name)."
Use two 3-foot wooden dowels to form an X. Secure the dowels
with clear packing tape. Then use fishing line to hang the foam
boards and hearts along the crossed dowels. Hang the finished
mobile above a counter or table that has a box of Valentine candy
on it.
