I'm so excited that Sarah invited me to share
a few of my Valentines Day crafts here today!
I have to admit that Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays,
even as a girl I loved making heart paper valentines and
taping little candies to them.
I love being able to tell those around me how much they mean to me.
It also gives me an opportunity to cover my house with
all things pink and red. Ha!
Pipe Cleaner Trees
These little mini trees are my favorite decoration in the house right now.
These little mini trees are my favorite decoration in the house right now.
Its like having a little pink and red forest at your fingertips!
Swoon!
You will need:
* Pipe cleaners
* Wine cork {cut in half}
* Scissors
1. You will need to cut some of your pipe cleaners in half and some in fourths.
2. Take one of your half size pipe cleaners and make a loop at the top,
this will make your heart on the top of your tree.
3. Take your pipe cleaners that are cut in fourths {the smallest ones}
and start wrapping them around your looped pipe cleaner,
this will be the "trunk" of your tree.
Repeat this with your pieces until half of your tree is full.
4. Then take your half sizes and start wrapping those around the trunk.
5. Poke a hole in your wine cork and stick the bottom of the trunk into the trunk.
6. Bend the top loop of your tree into a heart.
Heart Pipe Cleaner Glasses
My boys thought I was super goofy after we made these glasses
and I wore them around the house.
Don't they know me already?
These are super easy and fun!
1. Make two hearts
2. Connect hearts with small piece of pipe cleaner
3. Cut a long piece of pipe cleaner in half and make two ear pieces
{or whatever the real name for them is} ha!
Can you tell that I have some serious love for pipe cleaners?
They are just so fun and easy for little ones to create with.
Loves.
I hope Valentines Day is sweet for all of you friends!
xoxo
