Heart Memo Holder

January 23, 2013 By Spoonful of Sugar - 7 Comments

A sweet idea for Valentines Day is to make a heart memo holder – perfect for leaving messages for those you love. They are made from decorated wooden pegs (clothespins). Simply add a magnetic strip to the back of the peg to use on your fridge or magnetic board, or else stand it up on its base for a free standing memo holder.


Materials/supplies:

  • Cardstock
  • Heart punch
  • Washi tape or decorative tape
  • Wooden peg (clothespin)
  • Printed Valentine’s message (we used a typewriter font)
  • Double sided tape
  • Foam squares

  • Punch out a heart shape from the cardstock, and then decorate it with strips of washi tape in reds and pinks.
  • Print out a Valentines message and cut it to fit one side of the peg. Tape the message in place with double sided tape
  • Attach the heart to the top of the peg with an adhesive foam square.




Use the memo holder to display a message or photo. (Weren’t my teens cute as little ones!)  They can be used to hold place cards at a Valentine’s dinner.
