Well since this year I'm going on my religious retreat, Kairos, with a group of people from my senior class from February 10th to the 13th I will some what forget that once again, I will be alone this funny little holiday. But here are some cute ideas for Valentines day!
Coming out Friday February 13th!
Your own bloody Valentine cupcakes!
If you think cutesy pink Valentine cupcakes are too sentimental and passé then wait until you check out these Bleeding Heart cupcakes. Instead of being cutesy hearts, they're almost gruesome, and the best part is that they actually bleed jam!
Valentines
day Sun catchersWhat you'll need:
Pattern (see below)
Drinking straw
Clear plastic lanyard (Rexlace)
Scissors
54 pink transparent beads (7mm)
36 red transparent beads (7mm)
Tacky glue
Suction cup (with a hook or with a slit)
Pattern (see below)
Drinking straw
Clear plastic lanyard (Rexlace)
Scissors
54 pink transparent beads (7mm)
36 red transparent beads (7mm)
Tacky glue
Suction cup (with a hook or with a slit)
How to make it:
Cut strips of clear Rexlace, one for every row in the pattern, that are 10 inches long.
Fold each strip of clear Rexlace in half so that they curve towards each other. (Rexlace has a natural curl in it.)
Fold each strip around the straw and string the beads over both layers of clear Rexlace in the order the beads go on the pattern. Do 1 column at a time.
After each column is finished, tie a knot at the end.
Put a drop of tacky glue in each knot to help it stay.
Let all of the knots dry and then cut off the extra clear Rexlace at the ends.
Trim the straw so that it is a little longer than the suncatcher on both ends.
Run a piece of Rexlace through the straw and make a loop to hang the suncatcher from. Tie a knot at the end and put a drop of glue in the knot.
Hang it from the suction cup and enjoy!
