Cute DIY Valentines Idea

I was browsing for cute Valentine ideas and I came across a tutorial for this super cute wreath. I would add some pink and maybe make the squares bigger to make it appear fuller.

I think it is a fun craft to do with your kids!

Little Birdie Secrets: easy valentine's wreath

Ribbon Christmas card holder

I made this card holder a few years ago, but I would like to share this simple

craft project with you.

I painted the outside of the board first

I hot glued strips of fabric in different widths 2 inch and 3 inch

I covered and old cheap memory board

glued on a trim to the outer edges and added a ribbon detail to the wood frame.

Easy and cheap and really cute hanging in my kitchen.

I'm sure you would want to add more detail this is just a super easy fast version of an idea.

DIY Christmas ideas

I'm late posting ideas, but you can store them in your file of ideas for next year!!! I made these presents several years ago. My best friend and one of the most creative people I know came up with this and we got together and had a craft night. Since then I have had so much interest in these and have made these for several people. Get together with your friends and have a night of crafts! So much fun!

Use a Styrofoam wreath and wrap with a boa using floral pins. Add a glitter ornament to the center. Fun and Festive and most of all EASY!!!

Great Idea I found at

Thrifty Decor Chick: Ho! Ho! Ho! (A Santa craft.)

I worked on a craft project today that turned out sooooo caute, I could not resist going ahead with a post tonight. It was snowing all day (not like some of you are getting!), so it was a great day to sit down and craft while the Bub was napping and Hubs was watching a game. Snow makes me feel all Christmasy-like. ;)

I saw some cute Santa hat/suit decor things in Stein Mart a couple months ago and Tweetedabout them, saying I could totally make them for cheaper. Well, I decided to go for it, yes. I. did. I started with three foam cones, in different sizes:

I got them all for about $10. I think I used a coupon on the largest. If you can catch them on sale, you could spend even less!

I found red velvet at Hob Lob for less than $5 – I only got 22 inches (the width is 54”) and didn’t even use all of that. I figured out the size by rolling the cones and then cutting the fabric:

I hot glued the fabric down the back and then on the bottom and top to secure the ends:

I almost used sparkly red felt, but went with the velvet to the get look I really wanted. Either would be adorable and the felt would be even cheaper!

Then, I got four inches of vinyl (that looks like leather) to make the “belt.” This was less than $2 and I didn’t even need four inches…I only ended up making it 2.5 inches wide:

Again, just with some hot glue, I wrapped it around and secured it. Then, the fun part – the fur. I got some fluffy stuff in the ribbon section at Joann’s to use for this:

Isn’t it adorable? It looks like Santa’s beard! I’m dying.

For the buckle, I found a package of little square crystals. This package had 52 and I used most of them. I figured out the size and shape I wanted before I hot glued them on:

A fluffy puff ball on top, and it was done. And I squealed! I did!:

I don’t think I could love these more than I do. Seriously, I’m dying.

My three cost about $25 total. (And I had fun making them!)

Adorable!

I’m dying.
