I've been creating away in my little studio the last few days and thinking of Valentine's day. I wanted to make a sweet little container for a gift idea I had so I searched around the net for some ideas and found this site here. This candy box is what I had envisioned but I assembled mine a little differently and I just used card stock because that's what I have on hand. I made some coordinating felt flowers and a little tag to decorate the top. Tucked inside is a little surprise.
I found the idea for the bracelet on-line too. Right here, she even gives a great tutorial I how she makes them. I did mine a little different, I'm not that good with nail polish. I sprayed the candy (yes they're real conversation hearts) with several coats of clear lacquer, let them dry and then drilled the top and inserted the eye pins. I had to warn the sweet-toothed DH not to eat them, they look even yummier shiny. Not to worry, I'll be sure to give him his own little box of un-lacquered ones to eat on Valentine's day.
I had several folks at school ask me to make some for them to give as gifts so I'm off to make more. I'll talk to you again soon.
