Valentine's Day!

Hey guys! Happy early Valentine's Day! This year we got a little bit of a late start on the crafts, but have 2 mini tutorials to make it up to you! First, a cute softie - a heart with wings.

To make this softie, just cut out 2 heart shapes from pink felt,



Sew them together, leaving 2 one inch spaces on the sides,

Then turn it right side out and stuff! For the wings, cut 2 wing shapes from white felt, and hot glue them into the heart.

And that's it!

For our second tutorial, we have these super cute paint chip earrings!

First, you need a pink/red paint chip, either 3 different colors or the kind that already has 3 on them.

Cut them into strips by color and overlap them like in the picture.

Glue them together with a glue stick, then cut out 2 heart shapes.  Coat them with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, let dry for 24 hours (or be impaitent and blow a fan on them for 1 hour :))

When they're dry, hot glue earring backs to the back! Tadaaaa!!



Enjoy your Valentine's Day!

Felt Flower

Dear Readers,
  Hey guys! So, today we will be sharing our tutorial for making a felt flower. All you need is:
- 2 colors of felt (we used pink and grey)
-a hot glue gun
-fabric scissors
- your imagination!

 The last one is the most important. Here's what you do:

1. Cut a strip of felt about 2 inches thick and 6 inches long out of each color of felt (sorry, no picture)

2. Cut triangles from the top of each piece of felt so that they look something like this:

3. Glue the 2 strips together

4. Start rolling up the strips, hot gluing on the way

5. Continue rolling until you run out of fabric. Then, hot glue the edge down.

6. Now you're finished and you should have something like this:

You can do many things with your beautiful felt flower. I did a couple of things. First, I glued a bunch of them on a box for decoration:

Or you could glue it on the top of a pencil (But that could make it hard to erase. You might want to use a pen instead)

Love,
Jillian and Claire

ps. Sorry about the bad pictures. There's only so much 2 crafters can do and make an awesome craft, and take good pictures at the same time is not one of them!
