Here are our Valentine's decorations.
Valentine’s Day is a simply delightful holiday for a month when one is wanting some cheering up, chocolates, and a dinner out. So here is a project you can do to brighten your very February windows.
All you need is an iron, wax paper, and some crayons. Take two sheets of wax paper and sandwich crayon shavings between them, whatever colors you would like, and iron it. To protect my iron I put paper over and under the wax paper. Now you have a lovely, large piece of “stained glass” from which to cut your hearts. String them together with a needle and thread and hang them in your windows. Happy Valentine’s Day.
Some of the hearts we hang singly.
Oh, I have the best memories of these pretty wax hearts. . . putting them in our bedroom windows and also learning it was not a good idea to hang them above a lit fireplace!
Love your blog. Great idea for the hearts. I remember them from my childhood – which was a looooong time ago. Blessings to you Caitlin and Zach on the new precious one. Love, Charlotte
I forgot about these!! Oh, so fun! I am thrilled to be seeing your face a little on the blog. I have missed you, my friend. Just remembering how everything you do is so beautiful!
Looks like fun – just one question. How do you get the crayon shavings? Shave them with what?
I just use a small pencil sharpener to get the crayon shavings.
