Symmetry art is a classic childhood painting activity and it works so well as a Valentine craft. I’m very excited to share this post with you today because it’s part of a much bigger, very special project – but more of that in a minute! First up: how to make symmetry art love hearts

This idea for contact paper art is the result of my 5-year-old’s love of scissors.

Not wanting to put a stop to her current craze, but also not wanting to see all our art supplies vanish into pieces quite so quickly, we gathered up all the drinking straw remnants to use for some contact paper art.
