While Dennis was doing his magic with the electricity, I made a few Perler crafts for Valentine's Day. The cream colored tree was purchased at Ikea. I have had it for awhile and didn't know what I was going to do with it. The kids had been in the Perler beads the night before, and I was drawn to them. Elsie Flannigan http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/10/its-saturday-an.html has been using Perler beads in her work lately. Even the little Hoot was created with them. So easy and fun. There is a cool technique where you put glitter on the fuse beads before you iron them.http://www.5min.com/Video/Creative-Crafts-Perler-Beads-211305 They really sparkle! Perler beads are very inexpensive. I bought the kit to make the owl at Hobby Lobby for only $1.27. They would be sweet gifts for those extra special little valentines!!!!
Okay, for my 27Th Day of Giving-I want to give to you...
I purchased Artful Blogging two times. I have an extra copy and a beautiful heart tassel to go with it. Make a comment and I will pick a winner on Friday!
Thanks for taking the time to read the crazy things I write and supporting my craft. Blogging has been a wonderful experience for me! Kara
