Easy Valentine's Crafts: Necklace and Cards

You could do many good projects at home with your children or by yourself. Some of these projects I learn at school. Trying this Valentines project with your children or by yourself, could be fun. Valentines crafts are very special. When you take your time creating Valentine's projects for someone special to give, you feel very good. Many people put a part of artwork and dedication to their work. There are two Valentine's crafts you could easily do at home. All two projects could be work with children or if you are an adult.

Be my Valentine's necklace.
1. This could be a good project for kids to give to their parents or their friends. What we need is two candy canes, glue, red yarn, scissors, a picture of you and a blank paper. First get two candy canes; this could be leftover candy from Christmas. Bring both candy canes together to shape them as a heart. Glue them together. Once you glue together the candy canes, and then get a string of red yard. Measures this yarn to see how long you want your necklace to fit. Once you measure this yarn, glue the yarn to the Candy cane. To do this you need to wrap one end of the red yarn to the candy cane, once and glue. Do the same with the other end of the yarn, but the opposite side. Then do the same with the other side. Once you completed this, try to cut your picture into a shaped of a heart. To do these just trace your candy cane to one piece of paper. Then you cut this piece of paper, and use it as a guide to cut your picture to shape it to a heart. When finish doing this, glue your picture to your candy cane, so your picture would show inside the heart. You could give this to someone special and tell him or her to be your Valentines.

Valentine cards with a touch of smell
2. To do this project you will need red or white constructions paper, scissor, glue, potpourri or red pedals flowers any kind, pencil, hole punch and red string. First, fold two construction papers in half and draw half a heart on the fold. Open up the paper and cut the heart out. Using both of the construction paper, punch one hole close to the top of the heart. This hole should match the other hole from the heart. What you are going to do with this hole is use your red string, enter the red string to the hole, and tie it to make a bow. Next step is filling up your entire heart with glue, only one side. Then quickly get your potpourri out or red pedals which ever you want to use, and put them all over your heart making sure you cover the entire heart. Once finish covering the heart, let it dried. When is dried; then open your heart and write something special to the person you are going to give the Valentine card. I prefer to use both lavender scented potpourri and red pedals to cover all my heart. Using the lavender scented potpourri would give a special smell to your card, and calming feeling. Children could give this to their parents, and write inside the card. They could write something special or put a picture of them. Adults also could give this Valentines card and give it to their children, by writing something special inside to them. When doing this project is best to supervised small children not to play with potpourri or put it inside their mouth.
