DIY Stitched Felt Hair Clips

Last Friday, the Ricardo's (minus 'Ricky') participated in a little Valentines bash in our Moms & Tots group- it was great to see the tots marching around in their pink & red 'lovey' attire, celebrating this holiday:)  Did I get just one pic of this?  Sigh.  Alas, I didn't, even with my camera stowed in the diaper bag with such an intention- never happened.

There were fun snacks like popcorn bedazzled with red sugar, pink strawberry cake & caprese skewers...

Heart crazy straws for the tots and of course Valentines from my little Ms:)  For Eli, Livy crafted this and then helped create something special for the girls:)

These custom hair clips were quick & easy and I love them!  Each stitched felt piece is slightly unique and Livy helped decide which pieces should be allotted to Rose & Lily:)

I grabbed my handy dandy glue gun to whip these up and of course made one for Livy too!

And they fit into our Valentine boxes perfectly!

There's just enough time to make some of these Stitched Felt Hair Clips for V day so here's what you need:

• Felt applique pieces (mine were from a previous Stampin' Up! mini catalog)
• Glue gun
• Barrettes of choice

Thanks for looking,

Buttoned Up Valentine!

 

It's been a long week as my little Ms and now Ricky & I battle through virus terrain...the really hard part is being sequestered at home...for days...and days...sigh...

So today, I determined that sniffles & coughs would no longer keep us from having some fun...thus we started on Valentine crafts:)

Cut a piece of medium weight wire, long enough to make a heart shape...

For another craft using Wire Works (or alternate wire) check here- this can easily be themed for Valentines too!

                                  ...then choose buttons...                                              

 ...and begin stringing onto the wire...

...shape into a heart & twist the ends, curling down to protect little fingers.

Olivia loved her heart!

 

Next, attach some ribbon of choice to be hung on a Valentines tree, around a decorative candle, jar, door knob etc...  

Finally, tuck your button heart into a Valentine box for a friend:)

Enjoy & thanks for looking,
