These beautiful bowls use air dry clay and are easy to make. They'd make wonderful gifts for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, or a special teacher. The tutorial is at This Heart of Mine.
I love this alternative way to craft with melty beads by melting them first then stringing them into bracelets. These would be so great as gifts for friends, Valentine's or even Mother's Day. Details are at Wimke.
Puffy hearts aren't just for Valentine's Day - they're perfect for Mother's Day gifts too! Art Bar shares how these were made with a group of preschoolers but it's a fun project for all ages.
