Candy-Filled Paper Heart Balloons: Homemade Valentines Idea

Paper Heart Balloons

Paper Heart Balloons are a craze! At least in our house. My kids enjoy making paper crafts. Our daughter learned how to make Paper Heart Balloons. She then took it a step further and added candy inside for a fun and unique Valentine’s Day card.  What is really neat about these is they are handmade, you can put nearly anything small inside and they are a fun way for kids to keep their hands busy, be creative and make something homemade! They make fantastic Valentine’s day cards! 

These Candy-Filled Paper Heart Balloons are also very simple to fold and make and so they do not require a ton of skill, practice or patience! We have made a video to show it. Attempting to show 40 pictures with step-by-step seemed far more difficult than the project needed. 

We sped up our original video so that you can see it from beginning to end in under 2-minutes. But, if you want to watch it slower, simply watch it on youtube and slow it down and fold along! 

Once you have folded along with the video a couple of times, you will probably be a pro and not need the instructions anymore! 

How to make Paper Heart Balloons

Here are the supplies needed for Candy-Filled Paper Heart Balloons:

Paper Heart Balloons

  • Square paper – We use 12×12 scrapbook paper
  • Candy, small toy, note, token, something for the inside! 
  • You can even write the note on the inside/underside of the decorative paper too for a fun surprise note inside! 

That’s all you need!

Here’s the video showing you how to fold it into a heart! You will also “blow it up” like a balloon in the end! 

To slow the video down:

  • Click on the settings gear on the bottom right-hand side of the video.

  • Select the speed you want to watch it at. 
  • This is best for when you are ready to fold with the video!

    Hi guys. EssayWriter review on nocramming was very informative and helpful. The author of the review provided comprehensive information about all aspects of the service, including prices, quality of work and speed of order fulfillment. I would like to emphasize that real customer reviews were considered and examples of completed works were given, which allowed to better understand the level of service.

    Last summer, my living room was getting way too hot because of the big windows facing the sun. I needed to find a way to keep it cool without covering the windows entirely. That’s when I found tintfit.com. The site is really easy to use and has a ton of useful information about their products. They offer a wide variety of reflective window films, and they even provide free samples, which was great for me to test out different options. The film I ordered arrived quickly and was easy to install with the detailed instructions provided on the site. Now, my living room is much cooler and the glare is gone. This site had exactly what I needed.
