 Hi everyone! I hope you are doing well. I've been creating a few crafts for Valentine's. Today we are creating a quick and simple Valentine's house display. I love working with scrap wood pieces that I find around our home. I found the little house during my Christmas shopping. I found it at my local Target store. It comes in a pack of two and it was for $1.00. It included the houses, along with paint. I decided to ditch the paint included in the pack since the colors were Christmas colors. If you're ready let's turn this little wood house into a sweet Valentine's house display. Little Valentine's House Display Materials needed One scrap square wood piece One wood house Mod podge Acrylic paint Paintbrush Scissors Floral cutters Faux floral Hot glue or any adhesive One fabric heart decoration Decorative craft paper One pencil for tracing Tracing the wood section onto decorative paper Start by taking your wood square section and using your pencil, begin to tr...

 Happy New Year! I hope this year is a great one for all of you. Today we are going to transform an old craft that I created on my craft blog. I'm often asked do I reuse my materials when I create a new craft. At times I do. I love upcycling, and reusing older crafts especially if they are reusable and in great condition. I'm taking a craft I created for the 4th of July, and creating a simple hanging design that is perfect for displaying on Valentine's day or even in the Spring time. Materials One wooden truck decor One small bamboo ring One wooden heart Floral Acrylic paint Hot glue Optional- floral stickers Paintbrush Begin by adding paint to your truck. I decided to repaint my truck white.  Next, apply your acrylic paint to your bamboo ring. Since I am reusing materials, my bamboo ring already had my twine attached to it for hanging.  After, use your hot glue to attach your floral to the back of your truck bed. Once you have done this, take your truck and glue it to yo...
