Tie-Dye Hearts Tutorial
This crafty tutorial is actually a collaboration between Lauren, age 8, and me. All of the supplies that you need can be found around the house. First things first. I don’t feel like I have ever properly introduced Lauren on this blog. She is sweet little hand model you see in the pictures and happens to be my step-daughter. You will also hear me refer to her as the fairest child in the house, since her hair is the most blond and her skin the most fair. She is a beauty inside and out and has taught us all how to be a little bit clearer in demanding that our needs be met. We are working on bringing the demanding part down to a declaration, but in any case, it can be a good thing to knoe what you want in life–and Lauren proves this axiom.
What do we do with these hearts? These hearts can be used for many different things. You can use them as a background for Valentine’s Day cards. Just cut a much smaller heart out of white or colored card stock and glue stick it (is that a verb?) to the coffee filter heart. Write “TO:” and “FROM:” and that’s that. Easy-Peasy. My favorite use for them came from Lauren- who decided instead- to punch two holes in the tops of the hearts and to run 99cent store twine through them. She ended up with a garland of 9 or 10 hearts that is hanging in our front window. I love..love…love seeing the garland when I am driving into our driveway.
