Valentine Trivets

Cut out rubber hearts the size of the bottom of a typical serving dish.  I got this pink rubber that was carpet padding and it’s about ½-inch thick.  In fact, I have tons of it if anyone from Willow Brook wants to use some.  Cut out a matching heart from red craftfoam.  Drill holes around the edges, matching the holes between the rubber and the craftfoam.  Give the kids a piece of thin ribbon about 3 feet long and thread it into a yarn needle.  Let them sew the two hearts together and tie a bow at the top.  Make sure you drill the right number of holes that the ribbon comes out on the same sides.  Then have the kids write in permanent marker one of these sayings:

“I love you sew much!”    or     “I’ve got the HOTS for you.”
