Hi all Happy Friday!!!
So I know I didn't make it for Pinterest Wednesday, but I still do have a Pinterest inspiration for you today. Of course you know that Valentine's Day is next week. For us that means kids Valentine's for school parties. My husband and I try not to make that big of deal about it, instead choosing to focus more on loving each other every day. He does usually get me flowers though!! So today I am going to share with you a Valentine I made for my youngest. She is 3 and does have a party at preschool next week. I found this inspiration on Pinterest of course. Here is the pin:
So once I saw this, I started saving our toilet paper rolls. It was actually very quick to get more than enough because there are three girls in our house!! So here is what I decided to make:
Cute right!! So I used my Cameo for this project. I actually made the chevron paper in the Design Studio. I then print and cut it. Oh and if you need to know the size of paper to cover the roll it is 6" x 4.25". I also used the Cameo to cut out the heart for the wings. I embossed the wings using my Cuttlebug and the love bug folder. I realize the sentiment tag is a little big. The intention is to have my daughter trace her name since that is what she is practicing in school and I thought it should be bigger rather than smaller. I used the Cameo print and cut feature to make the tag. The antennae are pipe cleaners and I thought wiggly eyes would be fun. She and I are going to stuff the tube with some Valentine's candy.
So there you have it, hope you enjoyed my knock-off. I am entering this in two challenges. The Love is in the air challenge over at The Cuttlebug Spot and the Valentine's for Kids over at My Craft Spot. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and can't wait to show you my Valentine's for my older daughter!!
