If you're looking for an AMAZING Valentine's date idea here's one that can't be beat. A group of friends and I did this last year and had a BLAST! Check out the details here: Love, Actually.
Here are the shirts I made for our date using iron on transfers:
So grab a group of great friends and start planning!
Today I made a super easy and fun craft that would be perfect for a tween wanting to learn to sew. All you need is:
The longest part was cutting the hearts. I didn't use a pattern, I just folded the felt over a inch or two and eye-balled my hearts. Then figure out a pattern. My daughter helped me lay it out to see if I had enough hearts!
Then start sewing. Start with the top of the heart and start feeding them through. You can overlap slightly or leave a little space. I chose to put mine right next to each other using a straight stitch.
Here's the final product:
And up on my mantel.
A super simple and easy way to dress your house up for Valentine's Day.
This is a felt heart wreath that I made last year and posted about on my personal blog last Valentine's Day. It's super easy and could be modified for multiple holidays.
Supplies Needed:
To start you need to cut LOTS of circles out of whatever color felt you choose. I didn't use a pattern, I just eyeballed the circles and they are able 3 inches across. After you have them cut fold the circle in half and then half again. Take a straight pin and put it through the corner. Then push it into the foam wreath. You can turn and adjust the circles as the fill in the wreath. You only need to place the circle on the "front" part of the wreath so it will lay flat wherever you decide to hang it. To hang, use a long piece of ribbon and 2 straight pins. Loop the ribbon and place the straight pins in the back. For mine I looped the ribbon around a slat on our front screen. When I want to take it down I just need to pull the 2 pins. Be sure to put them back in so they'll be ready for next year. You can check out another tutorial right here as well.
