New Crafts Are on the Way...

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days but weather and life have kept me busy.  Don't worry, I have been faithfully crafting but haven't been able to post yet.  More to come soon!

Beat Winter's Chill with a Warm Heart...

Today's craft is inspired by the never-ending snow the East Coast has been getting and, of course, Valentine's Day.  It's an adorable combo of winter and romance...Love's Snowflake :)

These are super-easy to make and require only a few materials:  paper, pencil, scissors, and glue.

How to Make It:

STEP 1:  Cut out a paper circle at least 4 inches in diameter (the larger the circle, the easier to work with).

STEP 2:  Fold circle in half.

STEP 3:  Fold in half again.

STEP 4:  Fold in half again.

STEP 5:  Draw this template onto your triangle.  Cut shaded areas with scissors.

STEP 6:  Unfold and voila!

                             

Glue to card stock or construction paper to make a card, attach to a gift bag, or string together a whole bunch for a pretty Valentine's Day garland.

Kids will love this project because it's quick and easy.  Parent's will love this because there is very little mess ( just a few paper shavings).  HAVE FUN!

So true!

Perfect Valentine's Day Gift...

Not only a great Valentine's Day gift but also ideal as a wedding present :)

Lady & The Tramp Silhouette Set

Valentine Envelope (Yesterday's Craft O' The Day)

Just in time for Valentine's Day, this is a cute little craft that can be finished in no time and is perfect for gift-giving...  

The Valentine Envelope:

This is a straight single crochet pattern so it is great for beginners.  You basically crochet an 8-inch square, fold and sew it together, and finish the edges.  

I found the free pattern on Lion Brand's website and used some spare yarn I had in the house.  Red and white yarns are always handy to have because you can use them for Christmas and Valentine's Day :)

I think these envelopes are great for giving to a child with a little surprise in it- candy, toys, money, or an origami heart ;)

Very easy, very sweet!  ENJOY!

Mittens for the Whole Family

Sorry there was no new posting yesterday but our house was without power for about 10 hours.  I did, however, make a craft to share :)  Some cute little mittens for my daughter:

You can find the pattern at Lion Brand's website.  I used a different brand of yarn than Homespun but it worked just as nicely.  I'm still trying to get the whole thumb thing down but it'll do for now :)

HAVE FUN!
