Happy Valentine's Day!!

It's Valentine's Day! {although not sure why I'm so happy as my sweetie works all day and late tonight too}

But that doesn't mean we can't have a bit of fun!

I have a few more crafts to share with you from last week's TV show that there is still time to make or even rework for Easter!

Felt Stuffed Hearts

Supplies:

Sizzix Big Shot Heart Layers Die
Wood Felt
Buttons
Thread
Stuffing

1) Hand cut or die cut heart shapes. I recommend wool felt as it cuts better and has a clean edge.
2) Stitch layers together...leaving an opening.
3) Add a bit of stuffing and then close up the heart.
4) Sew on a button or fun embellishment.
5) Be sure to make several of these...they look great in a container, basket or just strewn around your house!

Handprint Garland

Supplies:

Wool Felt
Scrapbook Papers
Heart Punches
The Twinery Twine
Small Clothespin clips
Sizzix Big Shot Heart Layers Die
Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares
Small circle hole punch

1) Trace your child's hand on backside of paper. Cut out to make a template.
2) Next trace the template out on several fun papers. Use the heart punch and punch the heart out of the hand.
3) Hand cut or die cut heart shapes. I recommend wool felt as it cuts better and has a clean edge. Use Extreme Adhesive Squares to adhere the hearts together.
4) Punch holes through finger tips and top of hearts. String twine through.
5) Clips heart punches onto fingers and use clips to attach hearts and hands onto twine.

*This would be easily adapted for Easter add eggs and bunnies, birthday's and much more!!
