On Valentine’s Day you give gifts to those you love, your friends, and anyone you want to share the joy of the holidays with. The following are a few fun craft ideas for adults to use as gifts:
For teachers: The magnet gift.
If you are an adult with a child you know that you need a gift or at least a special card for your kid’s teacher for the holidays. This year for Valentine’s Day you can make a gift that any teacher will truly enjoy, a set of Valentine’s Day themed magnets.
What you need to do is go to a craft store and buy some Valentine’s Day themed paper, some modge podge glue, and some clear glass “marbles�. (These are called marbles, but what they are is about one inch round, cookie shaped, so flat on top, but thick, glass stones that you can see through.) Also buy magnets, cellophane bags, ribbon, heavy card stock, and glue, and a sticky, non-permanent adhesive (like a glue dot).
Then what you are going to do is choose a few of the marbles, lay them on your scrapbook paper, and trace them. Then cut out your trace by cutting just slightly inside the line. Now cover your circle of cut out paper with modge podge and stick to the bottom of your marble. Repeat with different patterns of paper. Let dry.
Once dry you are going to take just a little bit of glue and glue on magnet on the back of the paper side. Once this is dry you are going to choose three magnets, stick some sticky adhesive to the magnet part, put it on a precut piece of Valentine’s Day themed cardstock, and slip inside a cellophane bag, tie with your ribbon, and wha la, a great gift!
