So after I saw what a few cheap pieces of wood, some beads, and some glitter could do for a Christmas craft (thank you, Becky), I decided to stop by to come up with one for Valentine's Day. We bought some light-weight wooden hearts (two of each pattern) and flowers and some pinky-purply beads, some even shaped as hearts. We decorated them, hot-glued two identical shapes back-to-back to the end of some fishing line, and then strung some beads on. To complete it, we glued two more identical wooden shapes to the other end. The we added the glitter. I am finding that last step quite transformational. A little glitter really takes it up a notch, I'm telling you. Happy Valentine's Day, grandparents! :)
