Sweet Valentine’s Day Tutorials {Creative Moms Blog Hop!}

Crafts & Tutorials, Fun Stuff — By Lindsey on February 1, 2010 at 1:00 am

I have seen so many wonderfully inspiring Valentine’s crafts around the blogosphere, I just had to share!

Also, I’ve done nothing crafty lately.  lol

Actually, I lied.  Check out these crreeeeeative photos I took of myself on Friday!

Ha!  Those photos were taken for an earring review/giveaway I have going this week.

Anyway.  Back to creativity.

Seriously, I LOVE to craft (sew, crochet, scrapbook, etc), but I’ve been very uninspired.  Possibly because there’s no room or time to do anything creative in my tiny apartment lately – my little one is really a handful, making messes left and right and demanding my attention every waking moment.  But I’ll save that for another blog post.  ;-)  Not being able to craft myself doesn’t stop me from keeping track of projects I want to do and plan to do in the future!

Right.  So let’s get to it!

♥ Inspiring Valentine’s Day DIY Projects ♥

HowDoesShe.com is a guest on Mod Podge Rocks with an awesome tutorial showing how to make this bee-eautiful Valentine plaque!

♥♥♥

I reeeally love these “Why I Love You” Valentine Pillows found here at HowDoesShe.Com!
She has an awesome list of Valentine decor, printables, and ideas, too.  Click here to see them all!

This is actually a product – I think it’s such a cute idea!  Cookies would be twice as special, don’t you think?  Check out the Message in a Cookie Cutter set here.  (Thanks to One Good Thing for posting about this!)

♥♥♥

The Long Thread has a wonderful tutorial on making these cute heart-shaped crayon Valentine’s Day cards – great gift idea for a child, don’t you think?  They would be a lot of fun to make, too.

♥♥♥

Alicia at WoollyBums shares her ingeniously simple way of making a coupon holder and printed coupons for your loved one!  She gave them to her hubby for Christmas, but they would make a great Valentine’s Day gift as well.  :-)

♥♥♥

This Valentine Garland from Frills, Fluff, and Trucks is cute and requires basic sewing that anyone could do!  It would be a great project to do with your kids.  :-)

♥♥♥

I really love these Valentine Handprint Hearts from Roots and Wings Co!  Such a great idea, and the perfect project for moms of toddlers!

♥♥♥

Such great projects!  I hope you were inspired – I know I am.  :-)

So do you have any plans for Valentine’s Day?  Will you be making anything special?  What about Valentine decorations?

I haven’t decorated for Valentine’s Day yet, but I have plans!  I’ll share next week.  :-)
