Clay Pot Craft For Valentine's DayI made these clay pots for Christmas. You can change them up for Valentine's Day. Just change the colours and use Valentine candy. I used candy hearts. The girls loved them.
Yarn Wrapped Valentine's Plant HolderI save plastic soda bottles. They are useful to me. I also save fast food plastic cups, and cut the tops off of them. These make tiny plant pots. These are what I put in the bottom of the pretty plant holders I make out of soda bottles.

Country Plaid Heart DecorationI go through magazines, websites, stores, and shops to find cute ideas to decorate our home in a country theme. I saw several fabric stuffed shapes that were on a string. I thought I would make one. Here it is, stuffed with paper and fabric scraps. It is so adorable and I really like plaid.
Egg Carton Goody CupsWe cut out cups from egg cartons and painted them each different colours. Then we added googly eyes, foam pieces for noses and pipe cleaners. We filled with heart candy. The kids really enjoyed this project.
Heart WreathTo make this heart wreath, we traced a large circle then a smaller one on the inside of a pizza box. We glued foam hearts onto the wreath, one on top of the other in 3 different sizes. We used a hole punch to cut out confetti in all different colors to fill in the spaces.
Turn Your Paper Clips Into HeartsAfter fidgeting with some paper clips, I realized that by bending them in half, you can make them resemble hearts. Looks cute using colored clips.
