should be an ad for Michaels...

I found these colored pencil sets

in the $1 bin at Michaels.

So I wrapped some pretty paper around them

and tied them with a linen thread...

and then stenciled my art kiddos' names on the tubes -

an early Valentines Day present.

And these frames also came from Michaels for $1 each

(see - I told you it was a Michael's ad).

So this was my sample.

We dipped corks, bottle caps, lids, and cardboard

into pastel paint then

added Sharpie designs...

plus buttons and sparklies...

to make these beautiful Valentines Day presents

for their parents.

Aren't they adorable?

Make one with your kids today!
