Early Valentine's day craft project....

How cute are these???
These would be great to make now as they take a few days and put out for the big
Luh-hove day ( I suddenly hear strange 70's style music playing... hhhmmm.......).
or give to your Valentine.

They are so easy to make too,
These are about as big as the palm of my hand.
It's as easy as rolling Paperclay out till it's about 1/4 inch thick ( I love Paperclay, it can be pricy, but I always buy it with a 40% of coupon at the Hob Lob.My kids really love it.).
Cut out with a heart cookie cutter.
Stamp messages on with rubber letter stamps (Hint: dip your stamp in a bit of water first. A damp stamp works much better!).
If you mess up, just wet your finger and re-blend it.
Let dry.
Paint.
Viola!
You could even put magnets on the back to stick on the fridge, or hangers in the top when it's wet to hang them.

Too sweet! ;)

  2. Seeing as how my birthday is 2 days after Valentines, it is one of my FAV-orite holidays (It will never come close to Halloween...but still up there on the list!)

    These are SO STINKIN' cute! I can think of about a million people who need me to make them for them, so 'sigh' off to HL I must go... Poor me! :0)

  7. Oh these are so cute! I love this idea! I have never heard of paperclay before. I will have to check that out the next time I am at the craft store. I wonder if they have it at Michaels? We don't have a Hobby Lobby here...so sad!

    I hope you are doing well, and that you had a wonderful and very merry Christmas! :)

    Blessings,

  14. This is unbelievable! I was trying to figure out how to do personalized conversation hearts for our ladies tea! I wanted the ladies to have a personal message to take home with them and this is PERFECT!

  15. AWESOME!!! Where did you get your stamps and what type of paint did you use? The paint colors is just perfect. Did you use watercolors or acrylic?
