It’s round ten, y’all!
If you’ve been tuning in for a while now then you know we’ve been a part of the Waverly Inspirations challenge, where every month we receive some crafting goodies in the mail. And from those goodies, we create something with their fabulous products.
So for our first round, we decided to tackle a fun summer tablescape.
With round two, a diy art case for back to school!
This awesome menu planner {If we do say so ourselves} for round three.
Our Halloween Totes for round four – you could change them for any every day occasion! So much fun.
This owl wreath to warm up our home for fall right before moving in… was our little project for round five
For round six, we did a fun Thanksgiving tablescape for the kiddos, along with some free printables!
And for round seven… the theme was Deck The Halls – with some easy gift wrapping ideas.
For part eight, a definite new years vibe. {With free printables!}
Round nine was how to sew a fabric envelope…
And round 10… Valentine’s hearts!
This time around, it was these cute little valentines hearts from their awesome fabric, ribbon and paint. We felt that something a little valentine’s-themed was definitely in order.
We took a little {bake-able} clay, and rolled it out on a protective surface.
Then mashed it down, rolled it out with a rolling pin, and used a few various-sized cookie cutters to make hearts.
Poking holes in the top, we loaded them onto a cookie sheet and into the oven.
While they were cooling, we cut a few heart shapes out from the fabric: The natural shape in the heart fabric already available. And then we used cookie cutters, or the hearts themselves to cut other various sizes of hearts.
And then placed them on top.
And modge podged the fabric on the hearts {we used a matte finish this time}.
We did each side {the clay side and the underside of the fabric first, and then finished on top}
We embellished each one with paint, and did various little combos that made them super fun.
When the modge podge was dry, we even went on top with a few little stamps so they were reminiscent of candy hearts.
Then we added ribbon for the perfect little gift topper, ornament or happy. A great handmade idea for Valentine’s, if you wish to skip the candy. ;}
Just in time for Valentine’s Day.
It was a great project with the kids.
Because after all, isn’t making them half the fun?
Thanks again for tuning in… as always have an inspired day!
