Gifts for anytime of the year No.3 DIY Hearts in a Jar...

Hey everyone I hope your all having a great day! I thought I would show you how to make this super cute jar to either put in your bedroom or give as a gift (It would be amazing for a person you care a lot for), I hope you enjoy....

You will need:

Love Hearts (or any sweets in general, preferably heart shaped ones)

Mason jars or some cheap glass jars like I have I bought mine from Tesco's

Skewers x3

Pastel card for the arrow and X and O
Scissors
Sticky tape
Pencil

Instructions:

 

First to make the shooting arrow you need to cut the two ends of the skewers off and cut the pastel paper into a heart and a feather shape like this...

 

Once you have the two pieces ready, stick them on to one skewer, the heart and feather will be for the shooting arrow then the X's and O's will be on the other two skewers. To make the house shape look like a feather just cut to the centre to create something like this..

To make the X's and O's you just need to draw an X and an O on to the piece of card with a pencil and cut the shapes out with scissors.

Then pour your chosen sweets in to the glass jar. Then use sticky tape to attach the arrow to the jar and use ribbon if you want to embellish it even more!

  

Your finished product should look like this, I think anyone would be really happy to receive this as a gift!

Let me know if you try this DIY!

Little Blue Bird for your Keys

Hello everyone! Its Back to school season after the Christmas holidays (which can be so hard, I know) and because of that, I thought I would  show you a DIY project! Today, I'm going to make a Little Blue Bird that will keep your house keys from getting lost in the black hole that is...
.... a handbag! This DIY takes a little bit of preparation but is easy if you follow these steps!

You will need:

2 pieces of blue felt

a little bit of light blue felt

a tiny bit of green felt

a bundle of thread

2 black beads for the eyes

some stuffing

some Ric-a-Rac and a piece of ribbon

Extra Embellishments (use whatever you want):

some cotton fabric (mine is dotty)

different coloured felt

Equipment:

Scissors

needle

a lanyard clip (this is the metal thing that attaches the bird to your keys, however if you don't have it the alternative is just ribbon)

and a template of a bird here is a pretty one, I used a template I had lying around!

Instructions:

Firstly cut out your templates and cut them all out. You need to cut two blue bird bodies out of blue felt, a circle for its eye out of light blue and cut two leaves out of green felt. Feel free to add any embellishments you want to your birdy..

Then sew on all the embellishments like so..

Next add the ribbon on to the bird and attach to the lanyard clip
