Here is a FuN idea to make for {V} day! I made these very similar to the ones here...but I used scrap 1x6's instead. Then, lightly dry-brushed them with white paint...made my own stencils...stenciled the letters and heart on... wiped edges with stain...and tied with ribbon @ tulle! SuPer CuTe & SuPer Easy!! Wouldn't these look CuTe in a little girls room too??!!

HaVe FuN!

Heart necklace!

Here is a super FuN and EaSy necklace idea that you could make with your kiddos!

To make these you need:

-a wooden circle that I bought @ the craft store {the thinner the better}

-a metal jewelery ring {found by the jewelery making supplies}

-super cute sparkly pink felt that I found @ Michaels

-tacky glue

-paint

-drill

-nylon cording that I bought @ Walmart

First we painted our wooden disks...cut a heart out of felt...glued the heart on...drilled hole in the top...put the metal ring in...hung with nylon cording, or it would be super cute with ribbon. Then...I just tied ours in a knot at the top. SuPer EaSy!

HaVe FuN!

{Log Snowman}

Isn't he FuN! My mom's ward actually made these a couple years ago...and I just think they are too cute, so I had to share! My 2 year old loves to go up to him and poke his eyes and mouth. :)

To make him: All you need is 3 different sized logs, painted white, 7 med. sized buttons, 2 large buttons, a piece of orange craft foam cut in the shape of a carrot, 2 twigs from your yard, a dollar store hat, and a scarf made from fleece fabric. Then... just glue the wood logs together with wood glue...and glue the buttons on with hot glue... drill holes {at an angle} in the middle layer of log...and stick your sticks in! Sooo EaSy! Wouldn't he be CuTe sitting on your front porch greeting your guests?!! :)

HaVe FuN!

Pillow Top Towel!

Wouldn't this make a FuN gift for a new little one?!! So Stinkin' CuTe! I came across this at I Love This and That where Hailey made this from a towel, batting and a little yarn! Sooo Sweet!

Cupboard Door Magnetic Boards!

Hi All!!

I'm back from a very FuN & BuSy Holiday break! Whew... I really shouldn't have slept in {everyday} till 9:30...because I sure am feeling the effects when I have to wake-up and get the kiddos ready for school. :) But... I SuRe ENJOYED it!! I hope you all had a FuN and SaFe holiday also! :)

Anywhoo... now that Christmas is over...I thought I'd share a few projects that I was busy working on.

Magnet Boards for my nieces

Here's how I made them:

First...I sanded the cupboard door down...then instead of using a metal sheet...I used magnetic paint that I bought @ Home Depot. Then I painted the magnetic paint on the center panel of the cupboard door. I put on about 7 coats of paint before the magnets from my fridge would stay put...and realized that it wasn't strong enough to hold up a paper...so...I went to JoAnn's and bought some metal heavy duty magnets, and thankfully they worked perfectly. Then...I painted the outer edge of the cupboard...sanded the edges...and wiped stain on them. Then...screwed {mug} hooks into the bottom {so that they could hang their necklaces}...and drilled holes in top...and hung with wire.

HaVe FuN!
