Valentines day is just around the corner.
Yay for holidays that celebrate love!
I actually did a few cute crafts for Vday with the kids. I've been meaning to post them for weeks now...but better late than never, right?
No worries there is still time to craft up some cuteness before Sunday!
Caleb and I did a fun craft with crayon shavings and wax paper. We made stained-glass hearts.
A bit messy, but adorable results and easy peasy. This is very adaptable for a multitude of holidays and celebrations.
I found the tutorial for the hearts over at Martha Stewart. We connected some and made mobiles to hang in the window.
I also made a quick wreath for the door with materials I had on-hand. I based mine off the burlap heart wreath tutorial over at Craftaholics Anonymous. I just didn't have any burlap so I used some other red fabric I had and ran a straight stitch through a strip and gathered it on the heart shaped coat hanger. I finished it by hanging it with a remnant of a polka dot scarf. It feels very Betty Boop to me. Don't you agree?
There are lots of other amazing Valentine's ideas on some of the other blogs I'm a fan of. Here are just a few:
Skip to My Lou has a great tutorial for rice krispie heart shaped pops. These would make the perfect Valentine!
How about a super cute lollipop boutonniere for your little man? I bet you could take this further and make corsages for the little ladies! Check the tute out at The Opulent Poppy. What a creative idea!
And heart garland! This is something I didn't get to this year, but so will next. I've seen this done with paper, fabric and felt. Easy, cheap and simply sweet. Oh So Crafty has a great tutorial on her inspiring blog.
Hope you have a chocolate-covered, sugary-sweet, caramel-centered Valentine's day with the one you ♥ !
