TerryGami -- The softer side of Origami!
Finding something new for a Valentine's Day craft is not always easy, but making washcloth hearts is a new option. Washcloth heart can be made into an ornament to hang on a tree or a wreath, or it can be a heart shaped box to put small treats for a party favor. Scouts can make them for their gift exchange with other troops. Homeschoolers may want to use this one to teach children how to sew as a treat on Valentine's Day.. It is one of the easier projects for beginners.
The washcloth heart can be a party activity, too. It can be sewed with bunt-end needles or glued with fabric glue. It can also be made ahead of time, and then the children can decorate them with acrylic gems or foam board hearts or whatever shape hole punches you have in your craft closet. I love the glittered foam board that is sold in sheets in beautiful colors, and also, in silver and gold. The silver and gold looks surprisingly good on white washcloths.
Don't forget, the new book will be out in a couple of weeks! I will keep you posted. There are no holiday items, but the Teddy Bear or Monkey can also be a Valentine's Day gift. See the cover below.
Happy Crafting!
