DIY Valentine’s Decor: Cupid Cottages

February 13, 2019 By Courtney

I knew Valentine’s Day was coming but I still feel like it snuck it up on me. Holidays are always fun, though, because the kids and I decorate the house and make some crafts for keepsakes.

I found this cute craft idea from Inner Child Fun that I couldn’t pass up. These adorable Cupid Cottages remind me a bit of Gingerbread Houses but much simpler to make.

Supplies needed:

  • Paper bags
  • Newspaper
  • Construction paper
  • Markers
  • Glue
  • Stickers
  • Paper straws
  • Pom Poms

Method:

Have your child draw the front of their house on the outside of the paper bag. Here they can draw a door, windows, etc.

Stuff the bag halfway with newspaper. Fold down from the top and tape or staple shut.

Glue on pom poms or paper straws if you’re using them.

Cut a roof for your house out of a piece of the construction paper and glue it on. Decorate if you’d like.

Hope this cute little cottage makes your Valentine’s Day a happy one! I’m sure your children will enjoy making them as much as you’ll love displaying them in your home.
