Valentine's Day DIY

Valentine’s Day 2015 is the perfect opportunity to let that someone special know how you feel- here are some two ideas to help you do just that!

No-Fuss Paper Roses

1. Take an 8″ red paper doily and cut a straight line to the center.

2.  Roll the doily, making sure the wrong side faces up.

3. Twist the end.

4. You may use floral tape to create a stem, or if you have it at home — green painter’s tape.

5. Optional: you can cover the stem with ribbon for a more polished look.

There you have it — a paper rose in seconds!  These paper doily roses are not only simple to make, they are also very inexpensive.  You can pick up half a dozen red paper doilies for $1 at the dollar store. A bouquet of these is certainly a stunning substitute for bows when wrapping gifts, but, with the help of some glue and magnets, it is also fancy having a beautiful collection of paper roses on the fridge!

DIY Valentine’s Cards  

This is SO simple! Just take a stalk of celery and cut it near the bottom to make a stamper. Dip it in whatever color paint you want and press onto paper! Let dry and decorate the rest however you want!

How easy is that??
