by Kelly Lanza

Holy cannoli! Can you believe Valentine’s Day is this week!? If you’re scrambling to do a little something sweet for your better half at the last minute (we’ve all been there!), here’s a way to take the “box of chocolates” concept and bump it up a notch. Or five. A chocolate heart wall! Talk about a statement, right? All you need to do is raid the chocolate aisle at your local store (check the dollar store, too!) and …

Today’s DIY is one of the simplest things I’ve ever done, but I’m completely in love with these sweet little pipe cleaner heart toppers! I picked up a package of these glittery pipe cleaners at the dollar store while scrounging up extra stocking stuffers over the holidays. They were too cute to not come home. They’ve been sitting around in a drawer for a month or more now, basically begging to be put to good use. Low and behold, these …

I’ve been longing for one of those fun and funky pom pom sweaters I’ve been seeing everywhere lately, so of course I went and made the concept party-ready! It’s a pom pom tablecloth! Mine is all Valentine-d out (can you believe it’s just a few weeks away!?) but I think this would also be great for a kids party, birthday or baby shower! It would look especially wonderful on a dessert bar with colorful candies all about. Just …

Today we’re making a super simple and really sweet DIY heart garland. This project is really quick and an easy way to add a little fun to a wedding reception, party or even a bedroom or other room in your house. Even if you’re really not very crafty, you can tackle this one in no time flat. I use this technique a lot for photo shoots – it’s perfect as a simple little backdrop behind a cake table …

Hey all, it’s Chelsea again with another little DIY Valentine’s Day gift idea for you! I was feeling inspired by simplicity this time around, and wanted to make something small and sweet and all those other “s” words. So we’re working with stamps and modeling clay, and making little trinkets to give to the people you love most.

Your materials will be modeling clay and any kind of small stamps. One small package of Fimo Classic modeling clay will make two …

Hello lovelies! It’s Jenny from Hank + Hunt here with a head start on Valentine’s Day – peach prize balls! I have been meaning to make prize balls for a while and thought they would be the perfect Valentine’s Day treat. They take mere minutes to assemble, and when they are unwrapped, your little sweetie is sitting in a big pile of streamers.

You could make these fun balls for anyone, at any occasion. You could even add confetti for even …

I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about Valentine’s Day already! It’s Chelsea, swinging by with bow and arrow in hand, to help you celebrate the people you love this Valentine’s Day. And let’s be real – I have no complaints about celebrating love (not to mention that conversation hearts are one of my favorite food groups).  So let’s get down to business! Today’s DIY is easy beyond belief; we’ve got a free download for you to print on …

Hello and happy Saturday to you! This is Jenny from Hank + Hunt and since Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it, I have a quick little tutorial for some lovely cupcake toppers. This little heart pom pom topper is as easy as making a pompom.

pom pom maker (I prefer Clover brand, and used the 2.5″)
lollipop sticks
hot glue
scissors

Following the instructions on the pom pom maker, wrap the yarn around each side, thoroughly.

Carefully cut the loops in half, following the …

Hi! Jenny again from Hank + Hunt. My two little guys are finally old enough to really enjoy celebrations so this year will be the first that we will really decorate and have a little party for Valentine’s Day.  For a second little topper treat (see my ruffled cake toppers,too), here is a cute little Cupid’s arrow.  A shot to the heart with some serious sweetness. I’m so excited to share these goodies with you – thank you so much, …

Hands down one of my favorite blogs when I need some crafty inspiration is b*spoke, the blog of Emmy Lu Designs – last fall I featured the amazing fall flavors party designed and hosted by Emmy Lu’s own Bethany. Today, I’m excited because Bethany was a doll and shared some photos of one of her recent DIY projects – cute little fabric bags filled with heart-shaped sugar cookies, perfect for treating your loved ones on Valentine’s Day.
