Super Cute Valentine's Projects

This project was so fun and simple! There are only 7 supplies needed to make this project:

1. 12x12 frame
2. 12x12 Valentine's Day paper
3. Ribbon
4. Picture
5. Solid Card Stock
6. 1 heart button
7. Vinyl Saying

First I took the glass out of the frame and applied the vinyl saying (directions are simple and on the package) I then took a 4x6 photograph and a solid red piece of card stock and cut them into a heart using the die cut machine (located in our scrapbook department). After I applied the heart and heart shaped photo to the 12x12 piece of card stock. Then I made a small bow and glued it to the card stock as well. I then put the 12x12 paper into the frame (along with the glass) and added 1 heart button to the out side of the glass. It was a 10-20 minute project and was under $25.00. So cute, so simple and from the heart.



Debbie made some really cute Valentine's Day Cards using the BoBunny Valentine's Day Collection! She embellished her cards with pearls and ribbon. Too cute, Debbie!



Pershette made this gum ball machine inspired project. She used a plastic pot and turned it upside down to make the base. Then she added a ball to hold the conversational hearts, after she painted a wood ball and flat circle to make the top. To finish she added a small handle to give the effect that it is a gum ball machine. Great project and would be a wonderful children's project.


$1.00 tubes, fill with candy and embellish to make fun Valentines Day presents.



Heart Bracelet, FREE project sheet located in the bead department.
