Valentine's Craft, Quick and Cute Heart

To make this simple Valentine's decoration, I used a mirror note board and a purple fluorescent marker.
  1. Scribble all over the board.
  2. Erase out a heart shape.
  3. Add dots randomly in the spaces.
  4. Write XOXO
Pop it up on the refrigerator for your Sweetheart and after the holiday, it becomes a little message board.

Note: The erasing step takes a little patience. I used an old tee-shirt that was dampened with water. If you don't like how it turns out, it is easy to wipe it away and start again.

Valentine's idea, write your message on a cupcake whiteboard

Use a cupcake whiteboard to leave a message just for your valentine! After the holiday, it remains a practical note board.

I'm a big fan of scribbling and making dots to create a decorative effect. Here, I used some scribbly flowers and swirls, all joined with some dots and dashes. The great thing about using whiteboards and erasable markers is that if you don't like how it turned out, you just start over.
