My first 2 Valentines day crafts!!

I finished one of my Pineterst little craft project!  I love it!  I will probably have to add more names to it in a few years.  LOL  

And here is a little project I found in Family Fun magazine.  Every family with little kids should subscribe to this magazine.  I can not tell you how many great ideas I have gotten from it! 



 Nana putting glue on the back of the doily.

After you glue it onto the shirt you dab the paint in the holes.  Remember to only use a small amount of glue to glue it on and to use a washable glue stick.  I had to wash the shirt because we used too much glue and some of the glue and paper were left stuck to it.  But it came off clean in the wash!  After you paint all the holes you slowly lift the doily off the shirt and viola you have a doily valentine shirt!

Kristiana loved making this!!  

I will have to post a picture of it tomorrow I forgot to take a final pic! 

Both of these projects took me a total of 10 min! 

  

Valencia Snowmen

I found this craft in the Family Fun Magazine Dec/Jan issue. It was super easy! You can still create your family since it is Snowmen and not Santa Claus! We still have about 2 or 3 months of cold weather left!

Materials:
squat plastic jar or bottle
scissors and craft knife (an adult's job)
battery-operated tea light
water
white glue
brush
white tissue paper
small black beads, sequins, or buttons
ribbon

I used 1 plastic Ragu jar, 1 Gatorade bottle, 1 Vitamin water bottle, 1 small water bottle, 1 plastic peanut jar and 1 larger bottle of water. I washed them all out and cut the bottom of the jars off (an adult's job). Mix water and white glue to a creamy consistency, Kristiana and I brushed the glue mixture over the bottles she did a great job doing this! Then we stuck the tissue paper that we cut or ripped up on the bottles and then painted another thin layer of glue over the tissue paper. I mainly did this step. I painted the lids black the website said to use black tissue paper but it was easier for me to just paint them. I also painted the eyes, nose and mouths on. However you can use sequins, buttons or anything else laying around your house as the eyes, nose or mouth.
After all is dry tie on a ribbon scarf and place your man over the tea light. I love my little snowmen!!! I will keep them and put them out again next year!
My kids got a BIG kick out of picking out which snowman represents them.

Enjoy!
