DIY ~ Tiny Clay Heart Valentine Garland

I decided to leave my pink Christmas trees up for Valentines day after I saw my friend Heather & Courtney's on their IG feed. Love those amazing & super creative ladies. One thing mine was missing though was a teeny tiny polymer clay heart garland. That & some raccoon lovers.

1. what you'll need- polymer clay-tool with sharp edge {knife will work}-needle- string
2. pick what colors you want to use
3. mold the clay into a heart
4. use your tool or knife to make a crease at the top
5. make a hole straight through your heart so you can thread it later
6. put your hearts in the oven {read directions on the package}
7. string your hearts & display {I used tiny little * 3m hooks see picture below}

* 3m has saved my walls time & time again. also they are reusable!

Valentines Love/ the Dreadful Day is Here

Just kidding! Valentines is really pretty fun when you have some kiddo's involved. We had to bring Valentines to Elsa & Ida's nursery class yesterday at church- so being the kind of person that hates spending money on things I created the valentines below. I used the same illustration I used for Elsa's birthday invite- I just took out a few balloons to make it smaller & changed the coloring & added a back which I wish I had now done with the invite. {who doesn't like a cute robot butt} I had fun adding some Japanese masking tape. I think it adds such cuteness to everything. {remember last years elsa so cute}

We stuffed them with sweetheart candies {read the history of the sweetheart candy here- ♻ say yes to hoboken} & closed them off with japanese masking tape

* sorry about the terrible iphone pics- why am i so lazy...
