How to Make Colorful Paper Roses


Here are some spiral roses that I made with hot pink paint stain.  I used blue paper, purple, yellow, and cream papers with the same paint.    

Here is a box full of spiral roses made from stained paper.  

This is a tag I made using three pink stained spiral roses.  These roses would be great on cards as well.

Crafts Made From Recycled Materials: Catalog and Magazine Crafts


This Star and Heart were made from recycled catalogs.  

After creating the star, I pray painted it gold and added acrylic beads.  

I found the gold frame at my local dollar tree.

We have a lot of waste in our landfills and oceans.  Why not recycle some of this stuff into other things?



Happy Crafting and Happy Recycling too!  Cheers, Love Chan

Valentine's Day Craft Ideas Sewing Heart

This project is a great way to use up scrap paper.  I used paper from my scraps for this entire project.

I got this idea off Facebook.  I don't know who came up with it.  


A large pink bow with white flower is on the side of the heart.

This would be a great gift for a person who likes to sew.

Valentine's Day Treat Cards with Gold Coins

These are gold coins I found at my local Dollar Tree.  They really stand out from the red card.

Inside the card, you can write who it is to and who it is from

This is great for Valentine's Day and you can use any kind of candy that will fit inside the heart.
