Fun for all

Today my daughter and I enjoyed a crafty kind of day. We created Valentine gifts to give to family and friends and Miranda had a great time painting a wooden birdhouse and the beginnings of a future project (that's all the info you're getting on that one at this point. You'll just have to keep checking for future blogs).
Our Valentine gift is an idea "borrowed" directly from a Pinterest post I saw. A 7 inch zipper is used and all you have to do is bend the strips to form the shape of a heart. A little hot glue is what keeps it in position. We decided to add a little bead charm onto the zipper pull and finished it off by gluing  a pin back to it.

 

Miranda decided to glue her hearts onto paper and add her own drawings. She also wanted to keep the long stems on the light pink heart because she thought it looked like the breast cancer ribbons and that the two represented both me and her. She is so creative and thinks of things that I never would have.
