Cupid’s Arrow Valentine’s Day Craft
By: Highlights Editorial![Valentine cupid arrows made from drinking straws and patterned paper.](http://parents.azureedge.net/sites/default/files/public/styles/3_2_x_large_630x420_/public/2022-07/Parenting0272_01.jpg?itok=QvvvJxcH)
These quick cupid’s-arrow valentines can find their way into your friends’ hearts on Valentine’s Day. We used pink straws, but any color will do.
Pro tip: It’s easier to write a message on the valentine before sliding the paper onto the drinking straw. And when it’s not Valentine’s Day, use the same method to make a striking birthday card.
