We made a simple craft inspired by Matt De la Peña and Loren Long’s new book LOVE, a book about everything that can be love. To make heart-shaped pencil toppers, all you need are pencils and pipe cleaners.
1. Bend a pipe cleaner in half. Wind it around the top of a pencil a couple of times. Pull both ends of the pipe cleaner to make sure it’s wrapped around the pencil tightly.
2. Bend and shape the rest of the pipe cleaner into the shape of a heart. Twist the ends of the pipe cleaner together to finish off the heart.
