DIY Heart Straws for Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day: DIY Heart Straws | Club Crafted

Valentine's Day: DIY Heart Straws | Club CraftedAndrew and I don’t usually do much for Valentine’s Day. We actually met the day after Valentine’s Day in 2013, so it’s kind of our anniversary (FOUR YEARS?!), but Valentine’s Day is always such a crazy day to go out to eat, and flowers, etc. are so expensive that it’s not really worth it. Instead, for the last few years we’ve spent a day at Disneyland sometime in February or March to celebrate our anniversary. I find it’s a much more fun way to spend our money! This year, we’re going to hit Harry Potter World and I am honestly SO excited for it. Like, Valentine’s Day who?! 

Valentine's Day: DIY Heart Straws | Club Crafted Valentine's Day: DIY Heart Straws | Club CraftedNonetheless, we’ll probably make dinner together, have wine and watch a movie, and that’s all I need for a good time. If you’re looking for something a little more fun, or maybe throwing a little party, I put together this really simple DIY you can whip up in five minutes – DIY heart straws. This simple projects just folds paper into hearts and attached them to cute striped straws. Add them to any drink and give it a Valentine’s Day makeover! 

I would use these for my Valentine’s Day plans, but drinking wine out of a straw is probably frowned upon…nonetheless, I would totally just use these for any occasion because why not? 

Valentine's Day: DIY Heart Straws | Club Crafted Valentine's Day: DIY Heart Straws | Club CraftedTime: 5 minutes

Supplies:

  • Paper straws (standard size)
  • Red/pink cardstock paper
  • Paper cutter
  • Hole punch
  • Glue
  • Ruler

Step 1: Cut 1/2 inch strips of paper about 8 inches long.

Step 2: Fold in half. Open up the ends and bend. Use a small amount of glue to glue the ends together to create a heart shape. Set aside to dry.

Step 3: Punch a hole near the bottom of the heart. The position does not need to be exact, but I placed it about 1 inch from the point. Punch another hole diagonally, about 1/2 inch from the middle of the heart.

Step 4: Gently guide a straw up through the openings in the heart and adjust the paper as needed to keep its shape. Leave about 2 inches at the top of the straw for easy use. 

Simple, right?! It’s a really quick project that you can use for Valentine’s Day or other types of parties, and it just adds some fun to already cute straws. Simple DIYs are my favorite! However you celebrate, I hope you have a happy Valentine’s Day!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
