I hope no one is getting tired of all our Valentine’s crafts – I have a few more to post! This idea came from the Feb 2011 issue of Family Fun (great magazine, I dog-ear at least 10 pages each issue which is my criteria for keeping a magazine subscription).

| Deck the halls with pink yarn hearts...fa la la la la! |
If you want to read the full saga and get the recipe for the homemade cornstarch glue, I posted it on my
other blog. I know most of you are here for your daily dose of Claire cuteness -- not a step by step tutorial of cornstarch paste making, but on the off chance if you want to make these at home,
off you go then!

| Homemade paste! A semi-success if you count the mess I avoided in the pan! |
While I was busy messing with the paste Claire was cutting up the yarn. She’s still getting the hang of the whole scissor thing and snipping yarn was a low frustration way to practice.
 |
| Almost ready for a quick bake in the oven (we were too impatient to wait overnight for them to dry) |
 |
| Snip, snip, snip! |
The final product makes a super cute hanging ornament. Alternatively, you can wear it like Claire - and I must add I was immediately reminded of Flavor-Flav and his oversized watch necklaces upon seeing this morning! Heehee!
Do tell if you have a secret recipe for homemade paste and glue. I suppose it won't be secret anymore but I will be forever grateful!
