First project we made was this beaded necklace with clay beds. We used sculpty clay from Hobby Lobby, string, a chop stick and some satin ribbon. This project doesn't really have to do with Valentines Day, but Libby is making it as Valentines gift for someone. I think these would be so cute for any occasion! Here is kind of a play by play on how we did ours.
I thought they turned out so cute! Libby was so proud of what she made!
The second project I've been working on are these felt envelopes. You can order those exact ones from Etsy, but I thought I would try and conquer them without spending $22-25. I failed the first time I tried to make them. I got an envelope I already had and traced it etc, etc. It looked TERRIBLE. Then, I saw where the lady was selling the patter for $10, so I figured that was my best bet!
FYI-- I ran out of fabric glue so the ric-rac isn't attached yet. They definitely aren't perfect, but they look like envelopes and Libby loves them! She loves writing "notes" and "mailing" things!
Here are my favorite pictures from this week. The weather has been too good to be true for February! We play and play outside all afternoon somedays. Makes for some real good sleeping! :-)
TGIF!!!
