Have you ever heart attacked someone? Like in the good way, not the medical emergency way? I used to do heart attacks by cutting out oodles of hearts and plastering them to someone’s door (like this). This time I wanted to figure out a way to do it a bit differently so I came up with this heart stencil that can be done on someone’s lawn. It’s super easy to do and is best seen from an elevated vantage point so if you can get some real estate below their window, even better!
Materials: flour, sifter, bowl, large paper, scissors, pencil
Step 1: Draw a large heart onto a piece of large paper (over 11×17″). I found that the bigger the heart the better it turned out. Smaller hearts don’t show up very well.
Step 2: Cut out heart.
Step 3: Pour a large amount of flour into the sifter over heart shape. Start with the edge of the heart and work towards the center.
Step 4: Use different shaped hearts to add more interest to the “attack”.
For bigger impact, heart attack the entire lawn. Happy Valentine’s Day!

That’s so cute! I love that idea. This week I was sort of attacked: some friends covered my car with love notes and made a big heart in the snow with their footprints. 😛 I like this idea better though. 🙂

you could do this also with a spray bottle of colored water for those who have snow-covered lawns

Timmi, that’s brilliant! Thanks for the idea. That green lawn is now snow so maybe I’ll try that. Thanks!

My Mom use to do this sort of thing for Easter morning. She would make bunny prints all over the house with baby power we would get such a kick out of it

This is so creative! And the attack is so nonpermanent, just in case your attacker is not so happy of the attack. Thanks for posting. Have a great weekend and Valentine’s Day!

I love this idea! I wish we could do this in Colorado but our whole backyard is already covered in snow! Maybe I’ll bird seed the yard with hearts for the birds!

I did this on our snowy lawn… inspired by the comments above, I sprayed hearts in the snow with beet root juice 🙂 Pictures here:

That is so cool that around here I would have to do this at night as I think that the homeowners would kill me as there are gangs in the area and not ready to leave this world over Valentines day but afraid of what there first reaction would be. Maybe in the country I would be ok with it but here in Houston these people are CRAZY!! Thanks for giving me ideas for next year ahead of time as I can start 3 to 4 days in advance.

I got home really late Monday night and took a few minutes to line our front sidewalk with white flour hearts before I slipped off to sleep; the next morning, it was like the Valentine fairy came to visit!
