We recently posted a blog post and video about How to Make Valentine's Day Pompom Hearts. Although it presents a simple way to make pompoms, I thought I would show another way to make a simple pompom heart. This time, all you're going to need is your hand, some yarn and a pair of scissors. Materials Needed: Medium weight yarn in any color you like (we chose the typical Valentine’s Day colors of red, pink, and white) Scissors A hot glue gun with glue sticks (optional) A stir stick (optional) Happy Handicrafts Video: Simple Valentine's Day POMPOM HEART Craft Idea I wound the yarn around my hand...

As school winds down around a holiday or celebration, my kids can always count on me to have a craft ready. It's one of my favorite ways to connect with the kids, while getting something useful done. This year, my son carried on this tradition by coming up with his own suggestion for a craft for Valentine's Day. He chose a simple crocheted heart bookmark. This bookmark whips up very quickly; I think it would be such a great option as a gift for students, friends, and loved ones, rather than the traditional candy or chocolate. Materials Needed: Crochet Hook Set  Any Medium...

When I was growing up, I remember Valentine's Day always being a big celebration in school. Every kid would bring in a box and put it on their desk, ready for all of the cards they would receive. When the teacher gave the cue, the students would go from table to table distributing their cards. Then we would share heart-shaped cookies and red and pink colored cupcakes. This break from the usual was always so exciting for everyone, but for me - big downer - it was awful. My parents were too poor to afford...

As a Homeschooling Mom, I kind of love the different celebrations and holidays that pop up every month. I like to use them as an opportunity to celebrate, craft and treat my children to new or fun foods and experiences. So for Valentine's Day this year, we wanted to make something that would add a bright spot to the kids' bedrooms. These Valentine's day no-sew heart pillows seemed to be the perfect choice. They are cheap, very simple to make, and a lovely piece of décor. They would also make delightful Valentine's Day gifts. Materials Needed: 1/2...

When it comes to commercialized holidays, I like to go against the tide. Now, I won't lie, I absolutely appreciate flowers or a thoughtfully written card. And let's be honest, I'll never refuse diamonds. I'll probably even eat the sub-par chocolate because I have a problem that way. But what's the deal with over-priced teddy bears and crowded restaurants? Definitively not my cup of tea. This year, we decided to skip the commercial route, and did things a little differently. Together with my kiddos, we are making simple DIY gifts that we would all love. We settled on essential oil- infused...
