i have so many of these shots...
evening...
late morning...
I bought my double-sided tape at my local grocery store and used silver thread which I already had on hand. You know how you curl ribbon? - with open scissors. I found that using that tecnique with a wooden skewer worked for these. It gave the body of the heart more fullness. The curly insides I just wrapped the paper tighter around the skewer, or pencil. We did add beads to some of ours - at the bottom. And I did use some fancy cuttin' scissors on a few. Our living room windows have one hanging in each of the four dirty filthy windows.
Therese and I had fun putting these together. Seeing them move just so when a draft comes 'round. They're peaceful in a way.
heart craft found here
Cookies, too, will be baked, frosted painted and eaten! I'm not sure if I mentioned in my Christmas cookie post about my new bucket-o-cookie cutters, but it includes many different hearts. We're looking forward to that! I'm also going to do the clothespin heart craft - I bought some twine and my plans are to string it up and clip the heart pins to it and we can clip our Valentines to it or whatever our hearts desire!

OH! I love those hearts!! I usually don't go all out for Valentine's but you are making me think otherwise. Plus, it is bout time I took down the snowflakes. Hearts might be in order!
amy, I don't usually do *anything* for St. Valentine's as far as decorating goes - but we started making the hearts and b4 we knew it they were all over the schoolroom table! - so i felt we just had to finish the craft. and i'm glad we did!
