Fun Flamingo Party Crafts

I saw Flamingos everywhere at the Creativation Trade Show and they are just so cute! These adorable flamingo party crafts are easy to make and perfect for a unique craft for Valentine's Day. We'll use the same techniques to make both a flamingo straw and a flamingo candy pocket. You don't have to save these for Valentine's Day – they'd be oh so cute for a summer party too!

How to make Pink Flamingo Party Straws:

The straws are so cute in a glass of pink lemonade!

Plus, you can DIY this giant Valentine mailbox for classroom Valentine's to use with these flamingo candy hearts: DIY Valentine Mailbox

The best way to make these flamingo party decorations is by assembly line fashion. Die cut all of the hearts. You'll need two hearts in the same size for each straw or candy pocket. use large hearts for the candy pockets. Glue on the feathers to the heart body. If the feathers are long, cut them to 1.5″ long for the straws. Twist the chenille stems into a neck and legs. Hot glue those to the heart body. Add the straw in the middle of the heart if making a straw. Hot glue a second heart on top to sandwich everything in the middle. When making the pockets, only glue the straight sides of the heart together, leaving the bumps side (top) open. Cut a piece of felt into the shape of a comma (,) and glue to the place where the head goes. All Tulip paint for the beak and eye and allow to dry for 2 hours.
