My friend Amanda mentioned a craft challenge at theironcraft.blogspot.com/and suggested I join the ranks of those trying to be creative and crafty! So, this week's challenge is to make a Valentine and I decided to make a Mistletoe Valentine. Fun and easy (how I think ALL crafts should be... but not all ladies -wink!)
I also entered this in a contest Valentine's Day Challenge so please leave comments! They are my "votes" and I need votes to win!
I started out by cutting out 6 large hearts and tried to keep them as close to the same size as possible. Anyone can do this part!
Next, I decorated each heart and strung some ribbon through each end.

| this one says "meant to be" and "all you need is love" |
Knot all the ribbons together and what do you get?
The cutest most adorable Mistletoe Valentine. Think my hubby will like it? ;)
disclaimer: Usually I roll eyes at Valentine's day but I'm feeling the need to embrace any chances at creativity. Happy crafting!
LOVE your Mistletoe Valentine! This is the greatest idea--combining a 'kissable' holiday tradition with a Valentine! I know I'm going to try to make this craft for sure!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! You could even turn some of the pieces you glued on into little pockets where you could tuck private notes to your valentine.
ReplyDeleteSarah,
