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!

Transform your glass garlic jars into multi-functional pin cushions with storage by following this creative and practical DIY tutorial. You will learn how to repurpose these jars into stylish and useful organization tools for sewing or crafting supplies. Hello everyone!

Delicious Fall Recipe: Roasting Pumpkin Seeds

🎃 Delicious Fall Recipe: Roasting Pumpkin Seeds If you're anything like me, your favorite season is Autumn, and I get excited when making fall snacks and new recipes. My family loves it when I roast pumpkin seeds for a quick and easy snack. Roasting pumpkin seeds is one of those simple pleasures that turns seasonal scraps into a crunchy, crave-worthy snack. Here's my step-by-step method—with measurements—to help you make the perfect batch. Step 1: Scoop Out the Seeds Begin by carefully using a sharp kitchen knife to slice off the top portion of your pumpkin, making your cut around the stem to create a wide enough opening for easy access to the interior.  Once the top is removed, reach inside the pumpkin to extract the seeds. You can do this with your bare hands, but I prefer wearing a latex glove to keep things clean and comfortable—though this step is entirely optional.  Alternatively, you can use tools like an ice cream scooper, a sturdy fork, or a specialized pumpkin seed...
