DIY Valentine Arrows

In classic mythology, Cupid is the God of desire, love, attraction and affection.  A person struck by his arrow immediately falls in love.  

I must have been struck by his arrows causing immediate love and affection for some  project ideas I found. This year I am in love with the "bow & arrow" and hearts look.  I have had such a flutter in my pulse, skip in my step & even a big cheesy grin while preparing and shopping for supplies.  

Items Needed For Glitter Arrow w/ Feathers:

• Paint:  I used craft paint but you can use spray paint as well.  I used Black and Gold.
• Gold Glitter:  This is optional
• Wooden Dowels:  I found these at my local craft store.  They have all different sizes.  Just pick your preference.  Length is at 12".
• Tape: I used what ever I had (wash-tape) in painting process.
• Ribbon:  I used a black and white polka dot 1/2" grosgrain ribbon.
• Feathers:  I got a pack of white, and black at my craft store.
• Felt or Card Stock:  You can use regular felt but I found right next to the felt, some glitter canvas type paper.  They also have glitter felt.  
• Glue Gun:  and glue sticks
• Small Heart Doilies:  size will depend on your preferences.
• Misc:  scissors, pencil, paint brush

These are what my daughter and I are making for her school party this year.  We will probably add a chocolate heart to the valentine.
