Whenever I am (im)patiently waiting in a doctor's office I flip through a Family Fun magazine because they will often have a fun kid's craft idea. For February they showed how to make yarn hearts. They were cute but I knew I would end up throwing them away as soon as we were done. So I took the idea a step further and made magic wands with the hearts that way they can enjoy the craft when we are finished. Since it is still pretty cold here to play outside we are looking for anything to fill our time during the day.
You need basic supplies you probably have around your house.
To make the hearts: ·yarn ·cookie cutters ·1/4 c. cornstarch or you could use watered down glue ·wax paper
How-to MAKE THE HEARTS: Heat up 1/4 c cornstarch with 1/2 c water over medium heat until it is translucent. Wait until it cools before starting. (I used watered down glue, since that's what I had on hand & it worked great.)
Cut yarn into 12 inch pieces and have the kids dip into glue and then place into cookie cutter heart or any other shape. It takes a while to dry so if you want to speed that up--set them in the oven on parchment paper set to warm for an hour or so.
How-to make the MAGIC WANDS: I used lollipop sticks that I had on hand, tulle, ribbon, jewels, sequins and pearl strings. If your daughter is old enough she could help with this part but I used a hot glue gun and threw it together in a couple minutes.
The girls were so excited to play with their princess wands they hardly even let me snap a photo. The craft kept them busy while we made it and busy playing after=happy momma.

ReplyDeleteThanks

How cute, I made those hearts from yarn too, after seeing them in the magazine, love how you took it a step farther, I made some more hearts where i just circled one 12 inch string of yarn a few rounds after it already had glue, and then shaped into a heart and pressed hard with my thumb and index finger where the heart should be pointy. I thought I could use them like that in a card but they could also be great in a scrapbooking project. Love reading you blog.
ReplyDeleteWe did the same project at our house, using baker's twine from thetwinery.com and here's a link to my project...our Valentine's Day heart ornaments!

Your heart wands are so adorable!
Adorable project and girls!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!!
ReplyDeletePerfect for my daughter's 2nd birthday party! Thanks doll!
ReplyDeleteGenius! I don't have little girls, but a few of these would make a nice little bouquet for Valentine's, no?!
ReplyDeleteOh my word, these are adorable! My "princess" is eleven and too old for magic wands to be sure, but my nieces would love them!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I am so making these for my nieces :) They are darling!
ReplyDeleteYou are the best mom ever! I think I need to have a fairy wand even though I'm a grown up. My very favorite though is always seeing how intense Quincey's face is as she's going about her project --- she always has this huge concentrated look on her face, it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese will be just perfect for my daughter's Pinkalicious birthday party next month!! Thanks a bunch!

ReplyDeleteI've seen these before but yours are definitely the most well styled - pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis are so adorable. Marking to come back to when I have a crafter-in-crime about the house and sharing on FB.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know the water/glue ratio too....I figured it couldn't be that hard to guess, but me and my girls made them over the weekend and after 2 hours in the oven and 24 hours sitting out, they still aren't dry or hard and they don't look anything like yours. they're actually just a big mess. :)
ReplyDeletecame over from pinterest! LOVE & think i'm going to pull up a chair & stay awhile! :)
ReplyDeletesweet! fun project for a kids "queen for the day" party I am helping to plan

How much minced garlic equals one clove?
ReplyDeleteThe answer to one clove equating to dried minced garlic is 1/8th teaspoon.
The dried minces garlic gives a delicious flavor to items where you cannot put other garlic forms. They are used in the side dishes such as soup, making pasta or pizza. The minced garlic can also be hydrated again by putting it in the water. It will take the form of a fresh garlic pieces and thus making your recipe even more delicious.
What is delta 8 thc
ReplyDeleteDelta-8 THC, just like Delta-9 THC, is responsible for the “high” sensation you feel when you ingest cannabis. However, the potency of its effect is less than that of Delta-9 THC. This cannabinoid is found in small amounts in cannabis, hence its low popularity, but commercial extractors have devised ways of extracting it for use, such as through selective breeding and molecular isolation.
