Need a quick Last-Minute DIY Decoration for Valentine's Day? Need a quick and easy Last-Minute craft for older kids (or yourself!?)? I've got you covered!

Y'all. This only takes ONE thing: Valentine's Day Pipe Cleaners

Start with ye olde chenille stem.

Fold it in half and leave it creased.

Bring the ends together and sort of "fold" them inward toward the bottom.

Twist the ends together

Shape it to your liking.

Make another heart, but before you twist the ends together, make sure the first heart you made is enclosed in the new one.

Repeat for the final color of pipe cleaner.

Keep going, alternating colors as you go, and remembering to loop the older hearts into the new ones.

Make the chain as long as you want, or until you run out of time or pipe cleaners. Display as pretty garland.

Is your house decorated for Valentine's Day?

What a wonderful kid-friendly craft! We used to make paper link chains to hang up around the house for various holidays. But I like how you can customize the shape for Valentines Day with pipe cleaners!

This is such an adorable last minute decoration for Valentine's Day. There is a Valentine's dance coming up that I will be helping with. They need ideas for decoration for the photo backdrop. I will suggest this the people I am working with on it. I also think I will make this just to have in our home as well!

I didn't get any decorations yet for Valentine's Day, I did think of doing something to decorate the table. These little hearts could be a great idea, make them and then scatter them around the dinner table on the day.

This is so cute and I think kids would love it since it's so easy to make.

I love these types of fluffy strings, the only thing that annoys me is the fluff goes everywhere when you cut them.
