Oh, my Aunt JaChelle and I create six different projects for Valentine’s Day. I wanted to send mama something nice because I haven’t been calling her as much. We made everything from a photo frame to a pillow. On our call this week, I showed her everything we made and told her to watch for something in the mail.
1. Heart-Shaped Puzzles
Our first project was simple. Aunt JaChelle opened a drawer in her office to get the materials: pink paper, a marker, and scissors. She made ten hearts in two sizes, then wrote on them and cut them to be like puzzle pieces. It’s so fun to play with the pieces.
2. Photo frame
While running errands, we picked up some heart-shaped foamies for our next project.
- Pink Paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Heart-shaped foam
- A photo
3. Love you to pieces
Aunt J found an old photo and cut it up to be a puzzle too. We agreed mama would love this. I took a cute Valentine’s Day picture and made it into a puzzle.
4. Cuddle Crew
I love cuddling on the couch with ma. Aunt JaChelle had some scrap fabric around the house, so we made Valentine’s Day inspired pillow. I’m going to add smell goods to it, so mama will think of me when she holds it.
5. Love in color
Aunt J had all these broken crayons in a bucket. We decided to try to melt them into heart-shaped crayons. This project didn’t turn out as we planned, but it was fun, and I got to use wax paper.
6. It’s Hair Love x a Hoodie
I think the hoodie Aunt J remixed with satin-lining is so cool, and I want one too. She surprised me with this pink hoodie and let me help design the iron-on and schooled me on how to make a bobbin on the sewing machine.
