Bridget is my guest speaker today, she is an amazing women and even better friend. She has so many fun, creative ideas and she wanted to share this one with the world. I can’t wait to try this for myself. It would be great to have while fixing fence.
Here’s her little story…
Looking for a fun, different Valentine’s to send into school? Well, look no further! This is super cute and easy. I even have a FREE printable for you!!
You can buy these mini boxes of cereal at Amazon. Check out the link here.
You’ll need to print out these adorable heart tags that read “I’m cerealsly glad you’re in my class” You can click on the following link: valentine’s day
Cut out the hearts, and attach it, and a spoon, to the box of cereal. Everyone in the class will just love these. Who doesn’t like cereal!! The parents will love it even more (Not candy)
I hope you enjoy making these with your kid(s). Let me know how it works out for you!
This is a super easy tutorial. Step by step instructions so you can make the perfect burlap bow. Add this to anything to give it a special touch.
You can use any color ribbon, this is just what I had handy.
The ribbon will be labeled 1, 2, and 3. You’ll need ribbon, scissors, glue gun, and glue sticks.
Cut the ribbon to the following lengths.
Take piece number 1 and glue into a loop.
Like so.
Do the same with piece number 3. This one will be a much smaller loop. You’ll actually want to flatten it down once it’s glued
Your two pieces should look like this.
Next you’re going to take loop 1 and pinch it three times in the center so it looks like this.
Here’s a closer picture. You’ll want to try to hold this while you do the next step. You could also pin it with a clothes pin.
Take piece number 2 and in the center, pinch it three times, so it looks like this.
Now put piece one and piece two together. Hold.
Take loop 3 and wrap it around the center of your ribbon where you have it pinched together.
Wrap the loop around and glue it in the back. Hold until glue sets (wont take long).
Once you’re done flip your bow over.
Your sides may not be perfect and that’s okay, you can fix it after everything is all glued.
Hold piece number 3 and pull on the side that is smallest (just a little until it looks even.) Give your ribbon ends a decorative cut.
After you give your bow a decorative cut it should be done! Way to go! Please let me know if you have any questions about this tutorial. And I would LOVE to see your bow! Post a picture in the comments or just let me know how well this tutorial worked for you.
