Love is in the air...

So, I know that Valentine's Day is on Tuesday, which is just about 5 days away, but I decided to go ahead and make this wreath for my door anyway. I figured that I could keep it up even for the rest of this month, and then put it up again in years to come. So, it's was super easy and maybe took about and hour and a half to make. Of course I did this project with my friend, felt. So, I just used a wire hanger and needle nose pliers to shape it. Then I bought 3/4 yard of felt and cut a bunch of 4 inch circles.

I took the circles, folded them in half, and then cut two little holes. Then I folded them in half again and slid them onto the wire hanger. I just kept doing that until it was full. Then I used the pliers to close the heart and hung it by some ribbon.

What's that you asked? Do my hands hurt from all that cutting?... Yes, yes, they do! But, I love how it turned out, so I guess it was worth it!

Valentines Day!

Here is a cute idea that I saw in the Family Fun magazine. It's SO, SO easy, and only took me about 10 minutes to make the three shirts. You just need paper doilies, a glue stick, a sponge brush, fabric paint and a shirt (mine are ones the girls already had). I cut up a cereal box to put in between the shirts until they dried. All you do is just put a little glue on the back of the doily and put it on the shirt. Then you dab the paint on top, and pull the doily off. I also had letter stamps that I used to spell out "love". Speaking of love, I love how they turned out...maybe I'll even make one for me!

Which one is your favorite?

Ow, Ow, Owls!

So, here's more owl purses I made for more little girls birthdays. I put things like notepads and cute pens and lip gloss or hair brushes inside them. I'm still liking these, I hope the girls like them too!!
