Sweet little hearts garland.- A simple craft post.



We love art in our home. Creating art and displaying art.
This simple craft project is fun for all ages.

Materials needed:

-paper

-watercolor paints

-water

-scissors

-tape

-heart shape cut out (I actually used a cookie cutter to trace my heart).

- sewing needle

-thread (I used two colors).




First, start off with your paper and watercolor. 

Create your art. I used a variety of colors. I wanted soft colors. So I went with light purple, pink, and a lighter blue. 

 Remember to have fun with it.- You can make stripes, dots, and much more. 

Once you are finished, allow some time for your art to completely dry before moving on to the next step.


Next, you'll want to grab your heart shape cut out, or a heart-shaped cookie cutter. You can also use a heart stencil for this project. I had a heart-shaped cookie cutter, and figured that would do the job! 

Trace a few hearts over your watercolor art, and once you have done that, just cut each paper heart out. 
♡♡♡




 Next step, grab your thread.- I used pink and purple. But you can use any color of your choice.

Pull your thread through the needle and tie the end off in a knot.

Start off by poking the needle through the front of your first paper heart.

When poking it through the second heart, poke the needle through the backside.

Continue this pattern until you are done.

Once you make it to your final heart, cut the thread from the needle and tie off that end.

You want to make sure you have enough thread on both ends when finished.

Final step...

Find a place in your home where you would love to hang and admire your beautiful watercolor hearts. 




Enjoy!

    I'm dropping by from the Creative Princess link party. These hearts are so cute -- and look so easy to make. A winner all around.

    I've got a link party that I'm trying to grow. It's Party in Your PJs on my site Grandma Ideas http://grandmaideas.com. I invite you to share this idea (and a couple of others) at the party. It goes through Sunday night at midnight.

    I hope you can make it.

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated.  Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...

Keeping Blogging Positive: The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Support

The Do’s and Don’ts in a Blogging Community If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of blogging, it’s that the community can be one of the best parts of the whole experience — when we’re actually supporting each other. Blogging isn’t just hitting publish and hoping someone reads it. It’s connecting, showing up for one another, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome to share their voice. But let’s be honest: not every corner of the blogging world feels that way. Sometimes people forget that behind every blog is a real person doing their best. So I wanted to put together a simple, down‑to‑earth list of do’s and don’ts — the things that genuinely help build a positive blogging community, and the things that… well, don’t. Nothing complicated, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of common‑sense, supportive habits that make blogging more enjoyable for all of us. The Do’s: How We Can Lift Each Other Up Do show support in ways that feel natural to you Support doesn’t have to b...
