Valentine's Day Craft...

I LOVE Valentine's Day

and I LOVE Crafts!

My mother in law, Roxy and I decided we needed

to make something special for this Valentine's Day!

(After all it is MY Birthday!)

And who doesn't like a craft to do

to celebrate this double holiday?!

We decided to make these little heart pillows

to hang on our doors.

We started out with some muslin material

red material, white material,

heart lace, flower lace, buttons,

twine, wire, pillow stuffing

and anything else we could find to get creative with.

We cut out heart shapes onto the material

and Roxy sewed (because I am not the best sewer yet) 

the two hearts together to create a pillow.

I stuffed the little pillows with the stuffing

and then we decorated each of the pillows.

Some pillows we made into squares

And some pillows we made into large hearts

 to hang on our front doors!

These will be the perfect little gift to 

give to your girlfriends

for Valentine's Day!

Have fun creating something special for your friends and family!

Blessings,

Amy

I love Valentine's Day! (most of the time)
 

This year I am struggling a bit with it, for it is also my Birthday and my oldest son Clayton is turning 12 two days after my birthday.  He is almost a teen!!
So, I am feeling a bit older than normal around here.
 Have any of you ladies out there experienced something like this? UGH!
Any ways........ Enough about that, let's move on to the "GOOD STUFF"
*******

I told the boys today we were gonna make some Valentine's crafts and at first they were all in and then..... Well, lets just say when they discovered the crafts to be of "girly" form they lost interest and mom had to finish them.  I'm not much of a big crafter, but on occasion I do like too find something simply and fun to partake in. (Now if it was Scrap Booking, I'm READY!!)

 

 

The first Craft we did was called a Button Valentine's Heart Ornament

Clayton helped me with a couple of them

and then Noah and Marshall helped decide what buttons went on first.

Also, we made a bouquet of Tissue Paper Flowers, those were a lot of fun once we got the hang of making them. I remembered making these for my mom when I was a lot younger.

 

If you want to try these follow the link below:

I hope you have as much fun as me and the boys (and especially ME)

did making these fun little Valentine's Day keepsakes!

 

Blessings,

Amy
