X. O. X. O.

X. O. X. O.

I've said it before and I'll say it again,
I love easy crafts and this one was pretty easy :)
I started out by going through all my scrapbook paper and pulling out some pink, red and whites.
After picking and choosing multiple times I finally decided on a pale pink and a white piece with pink polka dots for my paper. I than cut them down to fit on my 2" 1/2 by 5" pieces of wood.
Than I Mod Podge them on, waited for them to dry and sanded the edges.
While the Mod Podge was drying I cut five pieces of ribbon, three the same size and the other two slightly shorter.
Next I placed them on the back of the wood .
And used our staple gun to secure them to the back.
To hang them I used a pair of picture hooks, but I didn't like how the gold metal was showing so I went through my flower stash and found these cute pink ones and hot glued them to the top of the metal.
And finally I slid the ribbons onto my dowel and here you go :)

Easy Valentine Fabric Wreath

I must admit I have an obsession with wreaths.
I used to only make them with fake flowers BUT now I'm in love with fabric wreaths.. so simple and easy to make, whats not to love ? First thing I did was drop in at Joanne's and pick out some pink,
red and Valentine themed fabrics, and lucky for me they
were having a 30% off sale on all the fabric I picked out :)

I picked out 6 different fabrics and got a quarter of a yard each = $5.45

After cutting the quarter yards in smaller pieces I made small cuts on the top of each fabric with sissorers than tore them the rest of the way with my hands :)

Here's my pile after 5 or so minutes of tearing.
Next, I just started putting them onto the wreath with a simple little bow.
All done but I'm thinking it still might need something

hmmmmm ? ? ?

Happy Crafting !

Feb 14th

Mr. Simply Crafty was working late tonight, boys were in bed,
so that left me with some free time and a Cricut Machine :)

Earlier today I had cut some wood and had a little piece leftover and had been thinking all day about what to do with it so . . .

I love it next to my new Topiary

Quick Snapshot to show how little it is. Happy Crafting !

Another Valentines Topiary

I loved my last topiary so much I started looking around for things.
I could use to make another

I had this one block leftover from another project, that I'm hoping
I'll be able to post tomorrow... still waiting for it to dry..
anyhow back to today's little project. I scored and got this cute little glass vase/ bowl from Goodwill for 25 cents, but the opening was a little smaller than the foam block so I trimmed the edges down.. which made a HUGE mess,
so a tip if your going to trim a foam block, do it outside :)

Love these paper shreds, got from Dollar Tree.
I got a little too excited putting it together and forgot to take an assembly picture. But I know you all can figure out what I did. . . after I trimmed the block I tucked it in the middle of the vase and shoved some paper shreds all along the edge till you could no longer see any green foam.

Than I took two packs of these adorable glitter hearts
also from Dollar Tree and stuck them in,
I broke the sticks on some of them so they could vary in height.

I took this picture tonight of it on our Entertainment Center. Love it ! Happy Crafting.

A Sweet Frame


I found this frame at Dollar Tree and loved the detail on it which is funny because when I came up with the idea for this project, I was looking thrugh my stash of frames and just was looking for one that was flat and this was the only one that was and the detail ended up completely covered by project end. I started off by painting my frame red.
Next I grab my leftover Sweethearts from the topiary I made with them and went to work. I started on the inside of the frame so I could make sure all sides were straight rows to began with.

After a half hour or so I had all of the sweethearts glued on.
I really like how it turned out but once I placed my picture in,

it still seemed to be missing something.
So I added a bigger Sweetheart and a cute little bow behind it.

I love how this frame turned out. Love it ! !

I'm bias but my boys make it even cuter.

Even sweeter next to my Sweetheart Topiary.
Click here for a tutorial on the topiary.

Now off to see what else I can create with Sweethearts,
because after three project
with them I still have some leftovers.

Sweetheart Topiary

While at the 99 cent store this pass week getting supplies to make my sweetheart wreath, I saw this little pack of 3 clay pots and they were so cute I just had to make something with them.

After roaming the store, I found this pack of different size foam balls
and this pack of red shredded paper, grabbed another bag of
Sweethearts and headed home.

I took each ball and painted it red,
just so you wouldn't see any white through the candies.
After a few minutes and a few hot glue burns. I had covered each red ball entirely with Sweethearts and stuck in a small wooden stick.

Next, I put a big blob of hot glue in each pot and stuck the flat end
of the wood stick down into the little hole of the pot.
And wanted very impatiently for it to dry.
After waiting for it to dry, it still started to slowly tilt to the side, so began the dilemma of coming up with a solution to help it stay up.

Than it hit me, I have tons of leftover Sweethearts so I proceeded to shove them in and hot glue them down layer by layer.

After filling in each pot with leftover sweethearts, I added the red shredded paper to the top.I also glued one of the bigger Sweethearts to stick and added it to the pot in the front. After that I glued the three pots together,
adding just a little hot glue on the rim of each pot.

I've just been waiting for a project to come along that I could use this cute spool of ribbon I found in the dollar bins at Target.
After tying a few ribbons under each ball and
one to the front pot, here's my topiary all finished. I really loved how cute this topiary turned out and really enjoy our cute new centerpiece on our dinning room table.
