Everywhere you look, the web is filled with tons of wonderful Valentine’s Day craft projects. I love just looking at all the creative and unique crafts people are making. One unique Valentine’s craft I recently spotted were these, Valentine Fabric Tags. These tags were created using some FolkArt and Martha Stewart paints. Carolyn from Carolyn’s Homework, created these tags/labels that can be used on several different items. She used these on journals to jars. Such a great touch of personalization, that you can add to any Valentine’s Day gift. Click here to learn how these tags were created.

Mod Podge is so versatile. I mean this is a product that can be used on several different types of craft projects. The options are limitless with just how creative you can be when using Mod Podge. Take these tile coasters for instance. I recently stumbled across this cute DIY project, and immediately fell in love with it. This is a very simple project to recreate, and you can use several different types of paper designs to decorate your tiles with. Coasters are such a necessity in any home. I love this type of re-purposed project, because it allows you easily take some ordinary and turn it into some extrodinary. To learn step by step on how to create this project click, here.

I am not sure what the temperature is like where you are, but this winter here in Atlanta has been weird. One day it’s 60 degrees, and then the next day drops to 30 degrees. Crazy right?! I am so anxious for spring but until then I still need to make sure I have accessories to keep warm. One of my favorite winter accessories are scarves. In case you are looking for a way to design you own scarf this winter, you should try out Plaid’s Simply Screen DIY Kit. With this kit you can create a screen print in minutes. The scarf above was made by Jacinda, over on Prudent Baby. To see how she made this design click here. The Simply Screen DIY Kit is available at Hobby Lobby, and Plaid Online.
