Valentines Day!!

Super cute, super easy--what could be better than that?  Oh, how about super cheap too?  Even better!  Lou-Lou came home from school with this pattern for valentines.

It is from a worksheet labeled the "Teacher's Friend".  I knew it was the perfect thing to try out with some patterned paper called "Love Letter" that I had just got from Stampin' Up.  So, you cut one heart for the body, one for the wings, cut a slit into the body piece and slide in the wings.  Simple Valentines!!  Here are my pieces and some finished shots.

 

Yes, they are kissing.  Well, they are "Love-birds".  I used some grosgrain ribbon for the beak, and a silver brad for the eye.  I hope you enjoy making some this valentines day!!!

Where to put it all?

I have seen several cute ideas for organizing all these adorable hairthings.  These are what work best for me.  Just take the glass and "insides" out of a cute frame ( I buy mine for cheap at DI--local thrift store ) I love to spray paint mine a bright color.  While the spray paint is drying, wrap the "insides" (minus the glass) with fabric and stretch some cute ribbon across the front.  Same cute idea as those message boards.  I would be happy to make one for your hairthings. I also love making these earring holders--makes a great gift!! Email me if you are interested.  You could even order a matched set and be cute, stylish, organized, and oh so posh!!
