DIY Mini Basket

 

This little DIY project is adorable and useful! You can store home-made paper stars, rocks, pine, or whatever you want inside this little basket. It is super simple when it comes to the making, and you can do it with simple items you find at home!

Supplies:

A T.P. Roll

Scissors

Tape (or a glue gun, which might work better)

Directions:

1. Fold your toilet paper roll into a square (in order to do this, first flatten it one direction, then the other)

2. Use your scissors and cut off an end piece (the larger you make it the taller your basket will be)

3. Take that square and place it on top of your toilet paper roll like this

4. Cut off another piece based on where the first square ended

5. Now stick the first square inside of the new one (make sure they are both a square shape!)

6. Now cut in the middle of the area on the top

7. Fold the ‘flaps’ that you now have inward

8. Now use tape or a hot glue gun to secure it inside

Note: I used tape to secure mine, but it wasn’t sticking very well. So you might want to. Use stronger tape than normal, or a hot glue gun to secure it

9. Decorate it if you like, and you are done!

Valentine’s Day Countdown

 

Ahh…. Valentine’s Day. The beautiful day of expressing friendship and love with one another. If you are looking for a way to decorate for this amazing holiday, this is for you! 

Supplies:

Pink paper

Pencil

Scissors

Tape

Directions:

1. Using your paper, cut out as many hearts as possible (relatively small) after drawing them

2. Then write something you love on them (just like you sometimes write things you are thankful for on Thanksgiving)

3. And you can even sign your name and write the year!

4. Now hang it on the wall with tape, like in the photo at the very top

5. Starting on February 1st, do this every day, every week, every 2 days, once a week, or however often you like!

6. And on Valentine’s Day, do one last round, and there you go!
