I love this idea - it's super cute! Get various sizes of pompoms from the craft store and thread them onto transparent thread or fishing line. Tie a knot at the bottom of each pompom so that they stay in place and hang it in your window!

Here's a quick way to add some lovin' to your hot chocolate! Grab some large marshmallows and chop them in half. Get a sharp knife and cut out a heart in the center of your marshmallow - Place both cut-outs in your hot chocolate and you're good to go!

Here's a cute idea for some quick Valentine's Day garland! The picture to the left gives you step by step instructions on how to make it:




1. Get some construction paper and cut the paper into strips.






2. Take two strips and staple the ends of one side together.






3. Bend the strips in the opposite direction of each other so that they create a heart shape. Then take two more strips and staple all four ends of the papers together.




4. For the rest of the garland you just rinse and repeat! Keep repeating all the first three steps until you want to end the garland and then just staple the end together!

I thought this was a super cute idea for a Valentine's outfit! Cut out some hearts out of paper or felt and punch a whole in the middle on the heart. Place each heart behind a button on your shirt and you've got yourself some Valentine's Day buttons!

Awesome decorations made from out necklaces! I love this idea. This way you won't feel totally crushed when one of your favorite necklaces fall apart - all you need is a Styrofoam ball from the craft store and some push pins. String the beads onto the pins, dab the tip of  each pin with a hot glue gun and then push them into the Styrofoam. Voila!
