DIY Valentine Projects

This wraps up the posts for the month of February.  A month full of love, hearts, and special people.  I am a wanna-be-crafter and not having quite mastered the art of crafting here are three easy and simple do-it-yourself Valentine Projects.  

Yesterday on the way back from Michael's sarah said, "You are getting much better at crafting - no offense about before."  Well, there you have it - if an eight year old thinks I am getting better then it must be so.



This by far was my favorite Valentine Project.   
Garland made from book pages (a romance of course for Valentines),
black cardstock, ribbon, and heart stickers



It took me several tries to figure out how to make the pinwheel. 
I used a bread twist tie to tie the pinwheels together



On the backside is another piece of black cardstock and then you glue to the ribbon

 


Canvas Heart
Canvas, black ribbon, and heart buttons. 
Glued the heart buttons using Tacky Glue
(friend Becky P. said Tacky Glue is the best and I agree).
 This was not easy to make, next time I will use tweezers to place the buttons
My friend Ashely's turned out way better, but I do not have a picture of hers



Heart Wreath
white and pink yarn and red tule. 
Originally there was red yarn where
the red tule is  - I had a really hard time wrapping the red yarn
 at the points in the wreath and gave up and wrapped it
with tule.  The felt flowers were so easy to make.  Add ribbon to hang
