Dollar Hearts

Make these Dollar Hearts! Hand them out to your favorite little people (nephews, nieces, your friends' kids, etc). They will 'LOVE' these Valentines! As an added plus, these won't rot their teeth like delicious, delicious candy might. 

Unless they use the dollar to buy delicious, delicious candy . . .


DIY Easy Nursery Decor

Looking for an easy nursery decor idea? How about this:


So easy! Relatively quick. Make any shape you desire! An infinite amount of color/fabric combinations.  

Don't let the blanket stitch scare you (click on the picture - not on the round pinterest logo! - to see the stitch more clearly). Using the blanket stitch on your machine is no harder that the regular plain stitch. Do a practice run on scrap fabric if you're nervous :-). Tutorial after the jump.


DIY Magnetic Valentine's Card / Notepad!


Two Christmases ago, my craft wiz of a bonus sister brought little sewn notepads for everyone. So cute! This tutorial contains a couple of tweaks to her super gift. 

Perfect for Valentine's day, Mother's day or any card-giving occasion! 

You may see some snowflakes in the pictures. Yes, I was shooting craft tutorials during a snow shower/blizzard. Total commitment! Lol.

Chalkboard Fun! Valentine's Day

Still wish I had used chalkboard paint on a solid surface instead of canvas! Ah, well. This is what I put on my chalkboard in preparation for Valentine's Day:

 
It's been too cold to go outside and shoot craft tutorials! I've been huddled up under a blanket, pug in my lap, mukluks on my feet, wondering why on earth anyone would choose to live in MN during January.

Have a super duper weekend! If you're writing anything on your chalkboards for Valentine's Day, I'd love to see it. Just leave a comment with your blog address.

See you Monday!


DIY Wine Cork Arrows



Make some Cupid's Arrows out of upcycled wine corks for your valentine! No, these are not for hunting! Decorative use only.

Tutorial after the jump.

DIY Melted Marbled Crayon Hearts

Melted Marbled Valentine Hearts


The idea for marbled crayon hearts came from Martha Stewart's book, "Handmade Holiday Crafts". I was waiting for the perfect time to test them out. Yesterday afternoon ended up being that perfect time!  (Tutorial after the jump!).

Upcycled Chalkboard Shopping Bags

Don't you just love these upcycled chalkboard bags? 




Paint over nice shopping bags with chalkboard paint! Great way to use the leftovers from painting your own chalkboard canvas. The idea behind this project is courtesy of Danny Seo's book, "Upcycling Celebrations."

Easier Twirly Envelopes

Remember the Twirly Envelopes from yesterday




Why not trace around the completed shape to make things a bit easier? With that in mind, I made a template for easier Twirly Envelopes! You can find it HERE.



Twirly Envelopes!

Have you seen those envelopes made of circles on Pinterest? Easy to assemble and fun to look at! Can't find the source . . . the pinterest picture didn't lead to a link :-(.
