DIY Cupid’s Arrows

Love is in the air! Have you been shot by cupid’s arrow? I made these fun diy cupid’s arrows and shot them through some heart shaped cupcakes. You can also put them in other Valentine’s Day foods. Even health foods because apparently you can’t always have cupcakes. They are easy to make and really fun for Valentine’s Day parties.

What you need to make them:

pink or red paper straws

toothpicks

heart stickers

Cut paper straws into pieces about an inch and a half long. Stick a heart sticker facing down to the top of on of the straw pieces and one facing down on the bottom of another piece of straw. Cut the top rounded part of the heart on the bottom piece. Then cut small slits lined up down one side and down the other.

Cut a toothpick in half. Put hot glue in the inside of the straw and press the non-pointed side of the toothpick into the glue. Let it dry and then put the arrows into the side of a cupcake or other food. To make a cupcake in a heart shape just fold the cupcake liner down a bit on the top. Then put a bit of tinfoil in the folded part.

 

I love these diy cupid’s arrows! They are so cute! The straws I found at Target and they were perfect for this project because they have a tribal look. Also glitter pink stickers are a nice touch too.
