Do It Yourself..... Valentines Day Crafts


The mama bird is guilty of something.  I love the Holiday's and take full advantage of crafting, baking and making gifts and decor.  So with Valentines Day coming up... I am already making plans.  I will be sharing here on the byrd a daily DIY (do it yourself) Valentines Day idea.  Today I thought I would start with this adorable Sweet Pea gift.  This would be awesome for a teacher gift or a dear friend.  Get the kiddos in on this one because what could be cuter than a flower pot painted by a five year old?


Materials
  • Kitchen sponge
  • Scissors
  • Three-inch clay pot
  • Acrylic paint
  • Potting soil
  • Plastic baggie
  • Packet of sweet pea seeds
  • Ribbon
Instructions
  1. Cut heart shapes from a kitchen sponge with the scissors.
  2. Using acrylic paints, sponge-print a design onto the pot. Allow to dry.
  3. Place potting soil, seeds and planting instructions into the pot and wrap the whole thing in a ribbon
