have a significant other or secret admirer?
why not make some crafts for SOMEONE you love!
Here at Hearts & Crafts, Valentine’s Day is where we shine! After all, we do have “hearts” in our name. Homemade gifts are just lovely for this holiday and they are guaranteed to please. Perhaps, some would agree that money can’t buy love, but maybe crafts can?
Since episodic content is hypothesized to be HOT in 2016–we’re sticking with it and are now on our 3rd series called: 7 Days of Valentine’s, where for 7 days of February I will post about one *NEW* craft for you.
Since many of you may not be comfortable with certain materials or methods I will do my best to create a variation of projects, including: sewing, baking, creating polymer clay figures, working with felt, painting, building and beyond.
I will also be sure to include a difficulty meter, so before you start any craft, you will know what level it takes to brave it!
Here’s an example of the Hearts & Craft0meter:

In addition to that, each project will tell you what materials you need, how to start and finish the product and a few tricks, tips and disclaimers along the way.
let’s get THOSE heartS pumping!
day 1 | CUPID’S CHOCOLATE BARS
It’s craft 1 of 7 Days of Valentine’s! For this craft, we’re making “Cupid’s Chocolate Bars” because who DOESN’T love chocolate? For this no-bake craft, you will need minimal supplies, such as a cute chocolate bar mold, some melting chocolate and a sweet tooth!
DAY 2 | Clay Conversation Heart Charms
Here is craft 2 of our 7 Days of Valentine’s! For this project, we’re making “Clay Conversation Heart Charms.” These adorable mini replicas of conversation hearts are really cute and can be made into either earrings or into a mini jar o’hearts!
DAY 3 | FAKE CAKE
Here is craft 3 of our 7 Days of Valentine’s! For this project, we’re making “Fake Cake.” In this V-day project I show you how to turn some ordinary sponges into a fabulous slice of cake. Now I realize this is a bit heart to take in for some people, mainly people who love REAL cake, but they were just too adorable to pass up. Also, please don’t eat these!
DAY 4 | PAPER POCKETS
Here’s to craft 4 of our 7 Days of Valentine’s! For this project, we’re making “Paper Pockets.” In this V-day project I show you how to make customized envelopes with an inexpensive tool called the Envelope Punch Board by We R Memory Keepers. You can use any paper you want for this craft.
DAY 5 | Heart-shaped sweets
Here’s to craft 5 of our 7 Days of Valentine’s! For this project, we’re making “Heart-Shaped Sweets.” In this V-day project I show you how to make delicious chocolate lollipops made with just a few fun ingredients, and as always, are highly customizable!
DAY 6 | CUTIE-PIE CORAL CUPCAKES
Here’s to craft 6 of our 7 Days of Valentine’s! For this project, we’re making “Cutie-Pie Coral Cupcakes.” These tasty treats couldn’t be any easier to make, and although they’re not the healthiest thing on the planet, they are sure to please a crowd–especially confection contenders with a sweet tooth.
DAY 7 | SWEETHEART SOAPS
Here’s to craft 7 of our 7 Days of Valentine’s! For this project, we’re making “Sweetheart Soaps.” These are super simple. And by simple, I mean–simple! With some melt and pour soap plus a few fun embellishments, you’ve got yourself a squeaky-clean gift!
