February Dangles
I bought the wood for the dangles at Wood Connection. Wood was painted and embellished with ribbon, glitter glue, sequins, and stickers. The kiss is covered in tin foil.
Valentine Chair Bags
These are bags I made to go on the back of chairs to hold fun treats from Cupid. I sewed the bags with red and pink felt and then added fun Valentine material for the cut out hearts, ruffles, and stripes. They are tied onto the chairs with ribbon that I sewed on the flaps.
