Make some cute Cupid Arrows to start getting in the Valentine’s Day Spirit!
Supplies:
- Wooden skewers or sticks
- Yarn or twine
- Scissors
- Hot glue
- Paint (or substitute markers)
- Card stock paper (colour of you choice)
- Glitter (optional)
Instructions:
-
Paint or colour skewers as desired and let dry.
Arrow Tail
-
Measure 24 strands of yarn 6 inches in length for each.
-
Fold the first strand of yarn in half and place under the skewer.
-
Fold the second strand in half and place on top of the skewer.
-
weave the second piece through the loop of the first piece (photos 2-3).
-
Then, pull the “tails” of the first string through the loop of the second piece (photos 4-5) and pull your strings tight.
-
Once you have a knot formed, you can slide it up to sit close to the end of the skewer.
-
Repeat until you have used all the 6 inch strands of yarn.
-
Add hot glue along the knots to secure them.
-
Add extra glue at the top of the skewer and where the feather ends so that the yarn doesn’t slide off.
-
Unravel the yarn with your fingers. Use a comb to make it extra fluffy.
-
Trim the edges of your yarn until you’re happy with the shape of your feather.
Arrowhead
-
Cut 3 small triangles (same size) from cardstock.
-
Fold each triangle in half.
-
Overlap each triangle to create a 3 sided prism and glue together.
-
Paint, colour and/or add glitter as desired. Let dry.
-
Hot glue skewer to the inside of the paper prism.
