Happy Valentines Day!
Alright people, you have three days left to get your valentines under control.
 
I know a lot of people hate V-day, but if you don’t, or even if you do but you love cool projects, check out these ideas:
 
Last night 20ish kids came by the library to learn how to make duct tape roses. They’re a creative and cheap way to say Happy Valentines Day – all you need is some duct tape and some floral wire. Even though they look complicated they are surprisingly easy to make, check out the directions here.
 
Here is a picture of a multicolored bouquet that one girl stuck into her backpack last night:



I saw this idea on another blog this morning – Ipod valentines:
 
“You rock.”

 

Here are the directions. It would be fun to come up with your own personalized playlist too.

I also stumbled across this cute valentine idea, made from recycled crayon pieces:


Here are the directions to this one.

Will you be giving any valentines this year? Have any other great ideas - please share!

I love these ideas! I have never done one of your cool duct tape projects but the roses look fabulous! The sweetest homemade valentine I received was a heart made out of a copper sheet with "I love you" punched into it. I still have it and a few years later I received a piece of copper framed with "Still lovin' you" punched into it. Wonderful gifts!
