Assembling this valentine requires a little bit of tricky balancing, but once you catch on, these sweet crafts will be flying from your fingertips.

Materials

• Thin rubber band
• Peppermint Life Savers
• Smarties

• Cinnamon gum
• Heart-shaped stickers

Instructions

1. Thread the rubber band through the holes of two Life Savers, then balance the roll of Smarties between them, across the rubber band.

2. For wings, balance the stick of gum on top, perpendicular to the Smarties, and pull the rubber band up and over each side of the gum to hold it all in place.

3. Decorate the wings with tiny heart-shaped stickers or a message.

Tips:

If smaller fingers are having trouble with all that balancing and stretching, have one person hold the candy in place while another works the rubber band up and over the gum.
