Conversation Heart Garland

This craft is inexpensive and so easy to make and turned out just adorable.  I might hang it over the office door at the daycare. If you have any scrap material laying around, this would be the perfect craft to use it up.  All you need is some yarn or twine, scrap material and a few fabric paint pens. I used pinking shears to cut the hearts out of small fabric squares and I also cut little strips of fabric to tie between the hearts. Next I used a hole puncher to punch holes into the heart and then just slid the hearts on the twine.

Not Me Monday

It wasn't I that got caught sneaking a chocolate muffin Sunday morning. Nope, wasn't me.
I didn't make a very healthy breakfast for my hubby and myself, full of fresh fruit and eggs and ham. And it wasn't me that pulled out a frozen chocolate muffin (about 15 minitutes later) and microwaved it, then took a bite...turned around and there was my hubby staring at me.  No way, wasn't me. 

YUMMY!

DIVA CAN

What do you do with that big popcorn tin you have left over from Christmas? Well, I decided to recycle /reuse it.
I bought a roll of that cool duct tape you see everywhere.  I just cut sections of the tape to go around the can and did the same for the top.  I now have a can fit for some "Diva" treasures.  I can't tell you what I store in it.  It's top secret. :-)

I just love my can.  Ha, Ha! 

Just a can and some wild duct tape.

Valentine Jar

This is a cute way to make all kinds of holiday jars. I got the idea from one of my preschool teachers at my daycare. She made them with small baby food jars and used them as tea light candle holders. The one I am making here is for Valentine’s Day and it is made with a large Mason jar. I am using them to put my homemade cake pops in them.


Supplies needed: Ripped or cut up tissue paper in whatever color you want your jar to be, Glue mix- 3 part white glue 1 part water, stickers or glitter if you want to add these to the jar, ribbon and a nice thick paint brush.

• First paint the jar with the glue mix and then gently apply the tissue paper over laying the pieces. It won’t be perfect and it’s not supposed to. Let the Jar dry…… it may take a few hours.

• Next apply the stickers (I used small hearts) and then apply the second coat of glue to the jar.

• Let that coat dry……..when done drying, you can hot glue pretty ribbon to the top of the jar to cover up the ridges. I glued a strip of heart scrapbook paper.

• I filled my jar with conversation hearts and then I put my cake pops in them. You can use these jars for so many different things and you can decorate all different size jars.

• It was easy and fun to make this craft. Happy Valentine’s Day!
