7 Craft Projects to do with your Girl Friends this Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is almost upon us. Some of you ladies might be slightly worried that no Prince Charming has asked you out. Even that passably cute barista has not noticed your adorable smile. Now don’t go on spending another second thinking of scoring a date for February 14. You can spend the day with your favorite people instead — your girl friends! We don’t suggest doing a ritual involving the burning of love letters, no. We suggest spending your time in a more creative manner. How about a night of crafting? Here are projects that you can tackle:
This is a wonderfully easy craft project that you and your girl friends are sure to enjoy. All materials needed (letter, yarn, and glue) can easily be snatched up at a craft store near you. For the letter, you can choose the papier mache variety or something made of wood. You can even construct your own using cardboard.
Okay, this one doesn’t take a crafting genius to figure out but it’s still a fun project. It’s perfect for decorating a dorm room or for giving away as gift. You can get the Polaroid wooden frames from Michael’s. Other materials that you will need are glue, photos, scissors, and mini magnets.
3. Leather Makeup Brush Holder
Here is a craft project that is not only easy to do, but also wonderfully functional. This particular craft idea involves cutting leather or suede with slits and adding a string. Easy-peasy, right? If you want to add a bit of color, you can choose string in a non-neutral hue.
How sweet! Just because you’re not spending Valentine’s Day with someone special, it doesn’t mean that you must spurn love altogether. Because love is truly splendid, you know? To this end, we suggest making this terrifically cute cross stitch heart sweater. This can be done on any plain shirt, too.
What’s better than making your own jewelry? Making jewelry out of old shirts, of course! You and your girl friends are sure to have loads of fun turning old shirt into necklaces and bracelets.
6. Flower Crown
Flower crowns are hot right now. If you can’t get fresh flowers, there is a way to construct your crown using plastic or satin ones. After assembly, it is imperative that you and your girl friends do a Bohemian-inspired photo shoot.
7. Leather Friendship Bracelet
Friendship bracelets are making a comeback and there is no better time to make them than during your craft date with the girl friends. This version is made with leather but you can also choose to assemble yours using braided strings or embroidery floss.
