Make your Valentine feel warm and loved!



First a love note jar!


You will need:

1 Mason Jar
Burlap
Scissors 
Lace( or ribbon)
Paper( I chose this one with a rose on it)
Decorating options(such as stickers, twine, and a doily)
Glue(not necessary but makes the process easier) 


Step 1: Measure and cut burlap to jar size


Step 2: Tie with lace


Step 3: Add Decorations! 


 Step 4: Cut the paper into little note size papers, by folding the paper then cutting for more precision


Step 5: Write you Valentines love little love notes


Step 6: Roll the notes up and tie with twine



Step 7: Fill jar and watch their face light up at each individual note!


Everyone in grade school years loved receiving many little Valentines and I thought why not  replicate that feeling for your loved ones :)



Second project, a burlap banner!

You will need:
Red Glitter glue
Burlap
Ribbon
Festive clothing pins
Scissors 


Step 1: Measure out 10 squares on the burlap and cut


Step 2: Write out Valentine`s with the glitter glue on your burlap pieces and let dry


Step 3: Pin the letters to the ribbon and hang

I thought this was such a more personal and sweet option to a dollar store banner

Third, a Cookie Heart to keep your love warm <3

You will need: 
Epson salt
Sew thread and needle
Lavender buds
Two fabric pieces( I used red and beige for the look of a iced cookie)
Scissors 


Step 1: Cut heart shape on both fabric pieces
(for better precision fold them in half and cut half a heart, so that both sides are even)


Step 2: Sew the pieces 3/4 of the way together
( this part took me less than 10 minutes so do not fear the needle and thread)


Step 3: Take the 3/4 sewn fabrics and fold inside out, then pour your Epson salt and lavender mix in
(I poured the mix in a jar for easier pouring and for the two fillings to be mixed well)


Step 4: Sew the pillow shut


Step 5: Put in microwave for 2 minutes and enjoy cuddling your warm sweet cookie pillow or of course gift to a loved one to keep them warm
The Epson salt retains the heat and the lavender buds smell so nice when they are heated up


Happy Valentine`s Day Everyone! <3 Enjoy!
