What You Need
A complete list of supplies and amounts can be found in the instructions card below.
Mini pom poms: As these are a Valentine craft with pom poms (here), you might like to choose Valentine colors for them, such as red, pink and white. Or use any other colors you want.
Glue gun and hot glue: This is the easiest type to use and sticks the tiny pom poms to the cardboard well. Use regular school glue if you don’t have hot glue – it will just take longer to dry.
Wooden heart sticks: To stick the mini pom poms on to. If you can’t find these here, you can cut hearts out of construction paper and glue those to popsicle sticks.

Warm the glue and sort out the pom poms: While the glue gun is warming up the glue, you can sort the mini pom poms (allow about 35 pom poms for each stick).
Stick the pom poms on: Working quickly, stick the pom poms to the hearts, adding a few at a time. Start in the middle and work your way outwards.
Tidy the bookmark up: Let the glue dry completely and then pick off any bits of glue you see.
Gifting Suggestions
Pair your Valentine craft bookmark with a box of chocolates or another kind of gift. You might also want to make something edible such as heart shape chocolate lollipops or a Valentine treat box. DIY birdseed ornaments are also fun to make and are an unusual gift.
Valentine’s Day Crafts FAQs
Any craft store should hold this kind of stock around Valentine’s Day, or you could just buy mini wooden hearts online and use regular popsicle sticks.
Feel free to use slightly bigger ones if you prefer! You can take your pick depending what you find in the craft store. If you can’t find any at all, you can cut up pipe cleaners or scrunched up pieces of tissue paper instead.
If you’re making these for the little ones, you can use them to point at works or use the stick to follow the sentences. Giving one to someone who doesn’t really read? They also look pretty in pot plants or displayed in another way.
