purple acrylic craft paint
paper plate

Directions

Take your toilet paper roll and gently press down on one side, right in the middle, to create a dip. This will form the top of the heart.

Then, pinch the opposite end to create the pointed bottom of the heart shape. Adjust as needed to get a cute little heart outline—it doesn’t have to be perfect; a little imperfection adds charm!

Once your heart shape is ready, you’ve got a unique stamp that’s ready for some colorful fun.

Squeeze a bit of paint onto a paper plate—it’s like making a little paint palette!

Gently dip the heart-shaped end of your toilet paper roll into the paint, making sure the whole heart outline is coated. Now you’re ready to start stamping some love!

Press the heart-shaped end of your toilet paper roll onto the cardstock and watch as cute little hearts appear!

Feel free to switch things up with different paint colors to make your artwork even more fun and colorful.

Keep stamping as many hearts as you’d like to fill your page with love! Repeat the steps until your masterpiece is complete.

Once you’ve finished stamping all your colorful hearts, set your artwork aside to dry completely.

Once dry, proudly display your masterpiece on the fridge, in a frame, or anywhere you want to spread a little extra love and cheer. It’s sure to bring smiles to everyone who sees it!
