Valentines Day - Homemade Decor

We really had no Valentine decor besides a wreath I made last year. So this year I took matters into my own hands and get my craft on...

The one on the left is Lexi and the one on the right is Avery.
It's hard to tell but the fabrics are a little different.
These bags are like little back packs for chairs.


Below is a picture of the surprises we got Lexi (some dresses for the little princess dolls she collects, a princess poster, another princess sing-a-long DVD and a Little Critter Valentine book)

Craft #2: This festive "banner." These are all over blog land. I finally decided to make one of my own. I love how it turned out so much that I've already started making one for St. Patrick's Day.
There are several tutorials out there.
And in case you're like me and not a fancy sewer than perhaps you don't know what
bias tape is or how to sew it.
So look here at this tutorial.
(I case you're wondering, bias tape is that long white strip of fabric.)

Craft #3 - This cute little LOVE sign (click here to see tutorial).

And a close up.

I also made some of my own Valentine subway art but forgot to take a picture. Oh well. Maybe you'll see it next year.
