Ok kids, you’ve got less than a week to make a few bobbles of love to share (along with smooches and dark chocolate of course). These are a few rather fun ideas I’ve come across in blogland. I hope they’ll help inspire you, too
Learn to make a cute (and easy) heart-shaped pom-poms at Zakka Life. I think these are an adorable way to decorate a little gift using some scrappy yarn, or would make a great little valentine in their own right!
Check out Molly’s Sketchbook over at the Pearl Bee to make these adorable fabric window valentine’s. I still have a few I need to make…
Also found at Purl Bee, these Sewn Paper Valentines. This tute will have you making you own beautiful valentines in no time at all! I think there is something so cool about sewing paper with the sewing machine…I feel like someone is going to come and scold me or something. I also totally admit to having a nerd crush on Molly and I want to be as clever as she is some day!
I know not everyone has the inclination or the supplies to sew. No problemo, amigos! How about a no-sew garland? This is a great idea and it looks like fun – and it’s an opportunity to use a hot glue gun which is always fun, really. Visit Fiona at Scraps in Progress to see how!
Stay tuned for a “Sunday Dinners” post tomorrow featuring a recipe for “Divine Lemon Scones” (no those weren’t dinner, but they could have been) and more “food court”esque Chinese food.
Also, I know I’m behind on emails, comments, etc. Fear not, I still love you, just need a little catching up time! :)
Thank you for all these nice ideas !!!
GREAT ideas. I LOVE the pom poms and the garland – and glue gunning IS fun! :)
A Spoonful of Sugar(http://spoonfullofsugargirls.blogspot.com/) also has some great Valentine craftiness. I particularly like the paper cut out garland.
that pom pom heart stole mine. lemon scones!!!
What beautiful crafts for the one you love! I may have to make due with just the chocolate, though. Looking forward to your new recipes!
I *heart* the pom-pom heart! Guppy is such a good little hand model, she’s holding the pom-pom ever so gently.
I’m a hot glue gun person, I remember fixing the hem of my skirt (back when I wore skirts) with a hot glue gun because I was to lazy to sew. You want to slap me, don’t you? :P
Love the purple pom-pom heart – so sweet!! Oh, and speaking of sweethearts…since you’re one, I’ve given you an award (see Sunday’s JJ blog post for details) :-)
Great ideas!! I need to get my butt in gear this week!
*Swoon*
i love all the valentine’s day inspired crafts!
Those are great! I finished up my Valentine’s today for friends… now just have Nate & Grace to go.
Such fun Valentines crafts! I love the fuzzy purple heart :)
that pom pom is the cutest!
These are so adorable!!!
I’d LOVE to have some of your V-Day goodies!!
Love ya, Shel!! :-)
