Easy Delight™ Kids Button Valentine Project by LuLu Lancaster

Easy Kids Valentines

Hello There :) This month I have a super quick and easy Valentine that your children can do with a little help from you.

This has been 5 year old approved :D

All you will need is

1-package Delight™ 

a small hole punch 

thin ribbon

a marker 

assorted buttons

tacky glue 

heavy card stock or scrapbook paper

a paint brush

and scissors

Start with a small heart shape.

You or your child can make a triangle out of Delight™

Using your paintbrush end make an indent at the widest part.

And there you have a heart :)

Using assorted Buttons press them into the center of the heart

Next cut out squares of card stock or scrapbook paper approx. 4"x4"

We chose red because we were not going to paint the hearts. You could paint them after they dry or sprinkle with glitter :)

Using a small hole punch create an even number of punches across one side

Next you can write your sentiment leaving enough room for your Delight™ heart

While your hearts are drying you can start to lace your cards with a thin ribbon.

You can cut cards out in heart shapes as well, embellish your cards with paint or glitter too.

Once your hearts have dried you can remove the button you will see an indent in the heart. A little dot of tacky glue will hold the button on the heart ;)

Next glue your hearts to your Valentines ;)

 Happy Valentines Day! I hope you have enjoyed this little project.

Super Fast (STRESS FREE) Ornaments

Hey Everybody, It's Edie, I can not believe it is already December!!!! This year has flown by and the Holiday Season is now upon us.

 With the holiday season comes gift giving, decorating, crafting and blog hops! With that in mind I have created a BRAND NEW CLASS "Mixed Media For The Holidays" and it is now available!

In the class, I teach you how to make three holiday projects that will help you in all of your decorating, crafting and gift giving endeavors. There is even a bonus lesson for an extra embellishment ;) All of the projects are made using simple, common household items and inexpensive crafty supplies!

After finishing the projects for my class, I was on a Holiday crafting roll! I was able to create the base for these TEN ornaments in less than 10 minutes using the technique I am sharing with you today. These ornaments are so simple, fast and stress free, you will be able to produce a handful of them before the holiday cookies finish baking in the oven!

 

These ornaments are perfect for teacher's gifts, class projects, family crafting, art swaps, unexpected visitors, all of those people you would like to get something for but just don't have the money, your mail carrier, vet, favorite coffee barista and the list goes on and on!!!!

 

Simply roll out some Delight® or Creative Paperclay®. Brush a stamp with water and tap off the excess. Press the stamp into the clay and cut into desired shapes! Simple, simple, simple :) You could even use cookie cutters instead of a straight blade to give your ornaments even more personality.



Paint, embellish and glitterfy to your hearts content and then share them with everyone you know. A great idea would be to have these hanging on a wreath designated for visitors. As they leave, they can choose an ornament to take home and display.





I hope you enjoy this project and I hope it helps to make your holiday season just a little less stressful. BIG, BIG Hugs!!!!!! You can always find inspiration on my blog.
