What kind of valintine's day crafts are you making?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (7230)   ranked 2 out of 1,063 in crafts 3 years ago

I went online and found directions for making a valentine wreath and modified it to make my own. But it didn't end up being a wreath. Not sure what it ended up being. Oh well, I hope my friends liked it because I gave it to them for a birthday present.

4 of us have birthdays in February, my brother, two friends of mine who are husband and wife and me. So it's a challenge to make things.

I'm still thinking about what to make my husband for Valintine's Day. Got any ideas?

too bad you didn't post a pix so we could take guesses as to what it is going to be!

It turned out weird. Like a basket, but not a basket. I would have, but I had to get it to them for their birthdays. I sent both for the same time.

I don't celebrate valentine's day but my brother does and I create collages of pictures for him and his girlfriend. This makes them happy and I am glad that I bring joy to someone.

If you are good at photoshop try making a collage.
But if you are not just buy colourful papers and decorations and create cards.


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (7230)   ranked 2 out of 1,063 in crafts  3 years ago

Collages sound like a great idea for my brother. I don't know how to do photoshop, but maybe I should learn. He would like pictures of when he was younger.


myLot reputation of 79/100. enyniya (132)   ranked 537 out of 1,063 in crafts  3 years ago

there are many online basic tutorials to help you,just google the key words
They are all very easy to access you only need photoshop

There is also another way to make collages but you will need special scrapbook software

any questions?


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (7230)   ranked 2 out of 1,063 in crafts  3 years ago

No, sounds cool and welcome to mylot. Seems like you'll be a great addition here.

i have made some cards for valentines day. one for my hubby, one for each of my daughters and one for my mom. i typically dont make a whole lot for valentines day as i am recovering still from Christmas plus my hubbys birthday is in early February so i usually make him a card and something too.


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (7230)   ranked 2 out of 1,063 in crafts  3 years ago

I feel the same way you do. My finances are still recovering from Christmas and taxes and insurance, etc. I think hand made cards are they way to go. I just found some red construction paper. Take care

You ARE going to share pictures of your crafts, right?

We have a couple of friends who have talent too in this department. My wife and I don't really do it at all, so there will be no valentine's special craft. Probably a bouquet of flowers as she really likes that, or a potted plant.. we BOTH love that!
I wish I had ideas to share.. other than what I mentioned, I mean.. I am not so 'crafty'


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (7230)   ranked 2 out of 1,063 in crafts  3 years ago

Sorry, already gave them away, so can't do a picture. Lately I have to do my crafts quickly and give them out.


myLot reputation of 99/100. fjaril (6097)  3 years ago

O darn!! Maybe next time??

Yes, I know you are a real doer, a multitasker, and I guess with your kind of schedule and the unexpected happening anytime, I would think you are good at it too.. getting it done and out of the way! Sure nice to see you today! I wish you and your husband well!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (7230)   ranked 2 out of 1,063 in crafts  3 years ago

Thanks, same to you and your wife.


myLot reputation of 99/100. fjaril (6097)  3 years ago

happy

It would have been fun to see what it turned out like! I just did my Valentines...but I have quite a few to make as I send them to my kids...grandkids...sisters....brother...etc. So it was very time consuming!


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (7230)   ranked 2 out of 1,063 in crafts  3 years ago

That is a lot of them! The more you make and the more you individualize, the more it is!

Happy Birthday. Hope you have or had a great day. Am sure your friends loved the wreaths even if they didn't look like wreaths. It's the thought that counts. Am not working on anything for Valentine's Day. I pretty much don't do seasonal crafts unless I get on a mission to complete Christmas crafts a good part of the year.

My husband bought so cute singing cards this morning for our grandkids. They will love them. He also sends our kids cash which always works very well.

Maybe make your husband his favorite meal for dinner on the 14th. Always can get to a man's heart via their tummy..lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (7230)   ranked 2 out of 1,063 in crafts  3 years ago

happyHe may want to take me out for dinner on the 14th and who am I argue!

That would be a nice V-day gift to you.
