Darling You're My Dynamite!

Hello my loves!
      I don't know about you, but when I think of Valentine's Day, I think of the colors red and pink, hearts and chocolates. This are the only things on my mind. So I have a great craft idea that involves some sweet chocolate.  

What you will need...
  • 3 packs of Kinder Bueno
  • 1 sheet of red paper
  • tin foil
  • 2 pipe cleaners
  • glue
Let's make a cute gift:
1. Wrap each Kinder Bueno into tin foil.

2. Trim the red paper into three pieces and wrap each piece around a pack of Kinder Bueno and secure with glue. 

3. Gather the three packs of wrapped Kinder Bueno into a bunch, add the pipe cleaner in the middle and secure with the second pipe cleaner.

4.  Lastly, make a tag with the message "Darling, you're my dynamite!" (or any other message that you want). String the tag onto the pipe cleaner. And you're done!

Isn't this an adorable gift idea? 
 
Have fun creating some Valentine's crafts! 
Happy Valentine's Day!

Make a Romantic Candle

Hello again lovelies!
     For today I have a quick, easy and very cute project. This is perfect for Valentine's Day, but you could also easily use different themes to create a great decorative candle for your home, for parties, for gifts or for any other occasion.

What we need to create this Romantic candle:
  • a candle
  • red and pink papers
  • heart shaped craft punches
  • wax paper
  • hair dryer  
So let's get creative and let's decorate some candles! 
      Punch out some hearts from your red and pink papers using heart-shaped craft punches.

      Next, put your hearts on the candle and secure them in place by wrapping the entire candle with a large piece of wax paper.

      Now here comes the fun part! Let the magic begin! Using your hair dryer, heat the surface of the candle until you see the candle melting through the hearts.

     When the hearts have been entirely melted into the candle, remove the wax paper.

This is it! So easy, but so effective! 


Have fun creating! 
Happy Valentine's Day!

My Ombre Paper Rose Heart Decor

Good evening my beautiful friends!
Let's make a sweet decoration out of paper for Valentine's Day!

All we need is:
- red and white paper
- one white cardboard
- a photo frame
- red ink pad and a sponge
- scissors
- glue gun

1. Measure your white cardboard to fit the frame.
  
2. Draw a spiral onto your red paper. It doesn't have to be perfect.

3. Cut your spiral out using scissors, making sure you have that round center, this will be the base of your rose.
  
4. Start to roll the paper, starting at the end of the spiral. 

5. You can play around with the size of the rose by letting it go slightly for a more loose effect.  
 
6. Then apply your glue to the bottom of the rose and close with the round center.
  
7. And you're done with your first rose. Repeat the same steps with your white paper too.
8. Here comes the fun part! Take your sponge, get ink on it and slightly stamp it on your white paper flower.

9. Now draw lightly with a pencil around your heart template on the white cardboard.

10. Using the glue gun, the last step is to filled in the heart with your paper roses. 

        This is optional, but I wanted to make it more personalized so I write something on it. "Forever Young!"

Ooo I love how it turned out!

Happy (pre-) Valentine’s Day!

DIY Heart Bookmark

Hello cuties!
      I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to post anything yesterday. I've had a really busy day!
      Everybody loves to read, right? So for today's project I will show you how to make this very practical and very adorable Heart bookmark. It's so easy to make and it's done in only 3 minutes. 

This is what you need:
  • a construction paper in the color of your choice
  • pretty patterned paper
  • glue
  • scissors
  • X-ACTO knife

Let's get started!
      I chose a red construction paper and a heart patterned pink paper because is Valentine's Day!!! Draw and cut out a heart from the red paper.  Do the same thing again only a smaller version of the heart onto your pretty pink patterned paper.

Then  glue the smaller heart to the larger one. 

       Use an X-Acto knife to carefully cut around the edge of the bottom half of the smaller heart and through the red paper underneath.
      
 And your done! Quick and easy, right?

      You could write a nice message on the back and this could be also a great Valentine's Day gift along with a great book! 
 

Have lovely day!
