Valentines for Boy’s

February 10, 2010 1:00 pm

Here’s my idea for boy’s Valentines.

Cut out  2 pieces of felt in the shape  of a football. You could do any ball. I just had lots of brown.

Add little white details for the laces.

Sew around the outside of the felt football, leaving a small opening.

Stuff them with dry beans, rice, or popcorn kernels.

Stitch the opening closed and you have little bean bag balls! I’m going to attach each boy’s name on a heart felt tag, too.

Enjoy!

Heart Felt Headbands- A Valentines Gift

February 8, 2010 2:56 pm

This year for Valentines Day I wanted to do something for Isabel’s classmates that they could actually use, but that wouldn’t take much time or money. There are only 12 kids in her class, 3 girls and 9 boys! So I decided to do “heart-felt” (get it?) headbands for the girls. They are easy enough to do for a big class, too.

Start out by cutting some heart shaped felt.

Here are some of the colors I chose.

Get a strip of felt, about 1.5×3.

Begin glueing your hearts on the strip of felt.

You can layer them however you like.

Here’s how mine came out.

I did these three color palettes.

Now, hot glue the strip in to the headband. (Got a 5 pack at the dollar tree!)

And you’re pretty much all done!

Aren’t they lovely?!

They even look cute on a little baldy!

I just added a little tag with the girls’ initial and you’re all set!

Easy, cheap, fast and fun! And it doesn’t include a sugar rush!!

Stay tuned for the boys felt Valentine’s tutorial coming soon!!
