Link Love: Valentine’s Day Crafts from the Dollar Store

Who says you have to wear your heart on your sleeve?  How about around your neck or on your ears? With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, the Girl on a Budget has found a cute, creative and budget-friendly way to show your love for that special someone. Margot Potter, “a designer, mixed media artist and trash to treasure trover” shows us how to make Sweetheart Foam Necklaces, using dollar store materials. All you need is: a package of foam heart stickers, glitter, an elongated cable chain, jump rings, scrap paper and pliers.  This project is labor intensive, but well worth the smile on your sweetheart’s face.

All you need is: a set of doilies, printed card stock, glitter, glue, scissors and a Valentine to give it to!
