I took this picture earlier this year in the Pacific Palisades 2016. I love the cloud formations.

Quick & Easy Felt Valentine’s Day Pins

02/01/201601/31/2016Leave a comment

Hello Everyone!

Can you believe it is already February? This year is flying by! Last year I made these awesome little pins for my boyfriends band, a cute little freebie to give away to people that came to the valentine’s day show. They were such a hit I decided to share them with you.

They would be fun for a class project or a fun way to show your valentine’s day spirit at work.

The theme of last years show was “Wear your heart on your sleeve” so these little pins were fantastic.

You only need a few supplies:

Felt Hearts
A glue gun and glue sticks
Extra felt (can be the same or different than the hearts)
Small safety pins
Scissors

Felt Hearts by Creatology, bought at Michaels Crafts.

The felt hearts can also be made with plain felt, I just chose to use these pre-made hearts because they have writing on them like the little candies, and they were really inexpensive.

To make the pins:

Cut up the extra felt piece into small squares. You want to make the square smaller than the heart and small enough to fit inside the small safety pin.

Use the glue gun to make a small dot of glue, place an open safety pin down into the glue face up.

Add another dot of glue over the safety pin, add a small square and press lightly. The open part of the safety pin should be facing you. As seen below…

Let Dry…

Ta-Da! Cute lil’ valentine’s day pins!

Quick and easy!

These things are so easy to make! You should have no problem pumping out a bunch for a party favors or fun giveaways.

What are you doing for valentine’s day?!

New Items! Meet Glitter Junk! @ Sugar Beet Crafts on Etsy

Hello Everybody!

I just wanted to drop a quick line because I have been super busy making new stuff for my Etsy store.

I created a new line called Glitter Junk! It started off as just a fun project for myself. I love glitter and have been really into it this season. I wanted glittery jewelry that was not to child like, but I couldn’t find exactly what I wanted. So I decided to make my own!

I loved it so much and received so many compliments I decided to make a bunch for the Etsy site.

These charms are so fun and really pretty. They sparkle at every angle and have an awesome 3D effect. Each one takes about 3 days to make and every one is unique.

My favorite part of crafting is having an idea or vision in my head and then actually fabricating it into something real. Working with resin is kind of a challenge, especially when working in a small space.

In the end, I am super happy with how they came out….too happy, its hard to part with them. Me and sparkly go hand in hand!

I would love to know what you think! They are at https://www.etsy.com/shop/SugarBeetCrafts

more items coming soon.

I hope you enjoy!
