I thought I’d re-post these little hair clips I made last year. A simple project to make a little girl smile on Valentine’s Day. Click here to see the original post with template.
Baked Goods for Valentine’s Day
A few baking ideas for this week:
Red Velvet Cupcakes from Baking Bites.
Cookie Pops from Our Best Bites.
Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes from Chow.
New York Times Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Raspberry Cheesecake from Happy Love Strawberry.
Mini Heart-shaped Cake from Martha Stewart.
Kisses Cakes from Bakerella.
An Embellishment
My four-year-old had a little jacket with a butterfly sewn on the front that she outgrew, so I made her a new one with this plain blue hoodie and some vintage fabrics. Bright, eh? The seams at the shoulders and pockets got in the way some, but I just sewed right over the shoulder seams. I left the edges raw, so it will fray a bit when washed. I think she’ll like it.
Printable Valentines
Attention last-minute crafters: If you or your kid is just not in the crafty Valentine’s Day spirit, here are some quick printable cards. Yep, the lovebirds design again. Just print on card stock, cut and go. I made a space at the bottom for the kid’s name.
And if those don’t tickle your fancy, here are some others:
Sweetheart Cards from Bunny Cakes.
Zebra Cards from Bunny Cakes.
Owl Cards from Living Locurto.
Animals from Secret Agent Josephine.
Snail Lollipop Cards from Zakka Life.
Je t’aime Cards from inside a black apple.

Lovebirds Appliqué Design
I made last week’s Valentine’s card project into an appliqué design for the shop. Here it is on a little tee for my four-year-old.
