I'm back with one last simple craft before heart-day arrives! This one is super quick and could even be fun for the kiddos. If you missed my valentine cards on Tuesday, go here. Let my mason jar obsession continue...
Materials: Any type of clear jar, tissue paper, scissors, glue stick.
ONE: Start by folding tissue paper in half and cutting different sized hearts out. TWO: Using the glue stick, adhere the tissue paper hearts on the jar. Overlapping, layered and upside down hearts are encouraged :)Finished Product:Stick a candle in, and your tissue paper hearts will come to life!**All photos taken and edited by Victoria Carlson Photography.

I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for receiving snail mail. And if it's a letter from a friend, it just about makes my week :) Since I can't bake for my girlfriends due to the distance between us, for Valentine's Day this year, I wanted to send out a cute, little {literally} something to all my girlfriends. I cooked up a really fun and easy craft. Oh, and the kicker- I had everything needed for the project at my house already, except for the tags I used as cards. {$2.99 at Joann's}
Materials: Ribbon, lace, scissors, glue, decorative paper, brads and a brad hole puncher if you'd like :)
One: Use the colored ribbon to adorn the little greeting cards. Cut out hearts of decorative paper or even tissue paper! Two: Add small brads as decorative details.
Three: Make paper flowers by cutting out messy circles of tissue paper. Crunch the tissue paper and layer one on top of the other. Fasten it by sticking a brad through the middle of the flower.
Four: On some of the cards I used Puff Paint to write on the ribbon once it was glued down. Finished Product:
What I love about these are how simple and colorful they are. These could also be used as little gift tags for birthdays or holidays. So many options!Just a small note letting someone know you love them could be the cherry-on-top of their week :)
