Valentine's Ideas

Last year I was inspired by Valentine's Day to do all sort of projects. Here are the hightlights, in case you missed them.

Home Decor:
Heart Valentine Countdown: With 14 little pockets to record ways you love someone special or for a little treat.

Button Pillow: Use up your craft stash and make a unique one of a kind symbol of love.

Gifts for Your Little Sweethearts:

Felt Cookies: A simple idea that if you overlook my wobbily sewing is still a fun addition to any play kitchen. We packaged ours up in cute Chinese Take-Out style boxes from the craft store for giving.

Initial Pendant: A sweet little felt necklace and very easy to make.

Toddler Cuff: A fun velcro and ribbon accessory, that little hands can put on and off by themselves.

Felt Clutch Gift Bags: A fun way to package treats, including simple to make matchbox style notebooks.

A lot of these fun treats we gave away at our Valentine Playdate.

Valentines:

Felt Kleenex Tissue Holders: A quick and simple handmade gesture for a teacher, they made a lovely gift along with some hand sanitizer and hot chocolate: a winter survival kit for the teachers.

Mommy and Me Valentines: A great way to use up all the paintings your kids make, with a handmade and personal touch by mom too.

Heart Valentine: One of my very favorite handmade notes from me to my friends and family.

Don't forget the new additions this year: Altered Starbucks Bottles and Drink Caddy, Paper Mosaic Heart Valentines and the larger version of the same craft a Heart for Great Grandma.

We'll be in Disney World for Valentine's this year, weather permitting - please please please let the weather be good so we can make the drive there, so we haven't done as much this time around. But I miss it, it's one of my favorite times to create, after all isn't love a wonderful thing to celebrate? I'm sure next year I'll be back covered in glitter and pink paper scraps☺
