Tutorial - Make a Match Box Mason Jar

Show the man in your life how much you care

Tutorial at A Crafty Mix Blog

"With Valentine’s day around the corner, I thought I’d make something small for all the men in my life; my Dad, hubby aka soul mate, Calin, Uncle Sal ……….. In their own very special way they all light up my life. I don’t know about you, but it’s not always easy finding the right valentine’s gift for guys. Socks with hearts on are notoriously difficult to find and, to be honest, it’s a bit weird disconcerting sitting next to someone and seeing little hearts peek out from under their trousers. But that’s just me. So while I was out shopping for who knows what, I found these adorable mini mason jars".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Valentine Lariat

Tutorial at Little Treasures Blog

"I am having several Valentine posts ready as a mini series and while brainstorming ideas for the day, I always referred to it as "Dressing up for Valentine" and it stuck with me - although I don't plan on suggesting fashion choices and styles for Valentine. It would refer to those last finishing touches- in this case jewelry and accessories. So let's move on to the instructions. For this lariat I used 2 colors in fingering and sport yarn.

Tutorial - How to Make Burlap Treat Bags

Fill with Valentine treats

Tutorial at The Princess and Her Cowboys

"So the first step is to cut the burlap. To make it straight and easier to cut, pull out a strand of the burlap where you want to cut it and then it will be both. Factoring in the seam, I cut these 5″ x 12″. Folding in half I stitched the sides together, making sure that the stitch length is smaller so that it keeps more of the pieces together.  To add the area for the drawstring ribbon, I folded the top over about 1″ and stitched around, leaving a little bit of room to add the ribbon"....
