Create a gift with little or no money what so ever.

Well have you ever encounter a moment were your wallets are kind of dry and you really want to give that special someone something. Or that event when it’s her birthday and she wants something from your heart. A handmade token of your affection always means more then anything we buy “that’s what you can say when your wallet is dry”. This will be very useful.

All you need is

Few pieces of paper and a few readily available craft supplies


EYES ON YOU” CARD

Ordinary pieces of card stock and paper turn into a cute and easy romantic token with this card! For this project, start with a piece of card stock cut into the desired size for your card. Then, cut a smaller sized rectangle out of patterned paper that will fit on the front of the card. Cut a heart that will fit inside of your patterned paper rectangle. Adhere both shapes to the front of your card. Adhere eyes to heart and draw in face with a thin marker pen. On the inside write a cute message such as "I've only got eyes for you!"




My “BEADED HEART CARD

This card is a simple, but elaborate looking token of your affection. Start with a premade card stock card (or make your own). Then, cut a piece of red card stock into a rectangle and adhere it to the front of the card. Cut a piece of pink card stock into a heart. Punch a hole at the top of the heart. Thread clear pink and red beads on 24 gauge wire and shape into a heart. Using metallic curling ribbon, affix the beaded heart through the hole punch on your pink card stock heart. We tied it together at the top of the heart. Curl the ribbon and glue the pink card stock heart, with the beaded heart now attached to it, onto the red rectangle.




Love DOOR HANGER

This craft is truly a unique way to give letters or clues to a love hunt! To start, you will need to glue a sheet of desired patterned paper to a sheet a card stock. Then cut out the desired shape for your door hanger. Cut out a hole towards the top. We used a heart shape a touch of romantic whimsy. Then cut a smaller rectangle you can adhere it to the BACK of the door hanger. Adhere it to the door hanger so you create a type of pocket to leave notes or clues in. Cut out an X and O from card stock and adhere to the front of the door hanger. We wrote our love notes on heart shaped paper and tucked them into the pocket on the door hanger.
