Crayon Hearts


If the sun seems to peer right into your window, give it something pretty to look at -- and through. These translucent hanging hearts are easy to make from waxed paper and crayons. In return, sunbeams will color your room with cheer.

Cockscomb Valentine Wreath


I found something lovely and sweet as Valentine's Day deco. Nothing expresses the essence of Valentine's Day better than a big, full heart. Declare your love for a sweetheart -- or simply a love of romance -- with this handmade cockscomb wreath.

Sewing Kit in Jar

With just a little retrofitting, an old-fashioned Mason jar can become a new sewing kit with a built-in pincushion on top.

  1. To begin, separate the lid's sealer and screw cap.
  2. Trace around sealer on cardboard. Using a compass, draw another circle on linen or cotton, 1 inch larger in diameter than the first.
  3. Cut out both circles; make cushion by placing batting between fabric and cardboard.
  4. Turn screw cap upside down, and apply hot glue to inside edge of rim; quickly press cushion into lid until cloth protrudes smoothly above screw cap's opening and cardboard is flush against rim.
  5. Apply hot glue around edge of cardboard, fold over excess fabric, and press down.
  6. Glue top of sealer to cardboard. Fill jar.
