Paper Airplane Valentines

I have been looking for a Valentine's Day craft idea for the past several days.  I wanted to find something to make for my two sons so I could keep up my "cool mom" status.  Yes, I'm a cool mom...because I said so :)


When I saw this on Country Living's website, I knew I found the perfect V-day craft.

Here is the link.  It includes a pdf file with a print out so you can make one....super easy!


I knew I wanted to do this because my oldest son loves airplanes.  He made paper airplanes as a child all the time.  


My biggest memory of this was a certain doctor's visit that required a long time in the waiting room.  My son (then 7 years old) made paper airplanes out of magazine pages and flew them into the potted plants in the waiting room.  The worse part of this was that my husband joined him in this immature child's play.


I chose to display mine in a branch that I have in a basket, sitting by a window.  I apologize for bad picture quality.  My photography skills are poor.








I love easy crafts.  Thanks, CountryLiving.com!

  5. This is too cute! Love it. The fact that the paper airplanes have sentimental value makes this project even more special.

  9. How clever are you, this is so cute. So it was your son who inspired from a doc visit. Your boy's must think you are really cool. So I'd love to have yours. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best party!
