Book Page Heart Jar (valentine)

Book_Page_Heart_Jar
A candle lit evening and a good book. Sounds like the perfect evening. Made even nice by the candle lit book pages in this simple project.

Things you’ll need:
Old book pages
Craft knife and cutting mat
Ruler
Two jars, one that will fit comfortably inside the other.
Heart punch
Votive candle

Things to do:
1. Trim the edges of the pages away so that you have mostly text and so your paper is only slightly shorter than your larger jar.

2. Punch a heart out of the center of both the front and back paper for the jar, folding the paper down to reach the center as needed.
3. Slip the smaller jar inside the larger and then slide the paper in between the two. The smaller jar will both hold the paper in place and protect it from the flame.
4. Drop the candle into the smaller jar and light.

Easy DIY Mint Tree

Easy_DIY_Mint_Tree
Perfect for the holidays and beyond, this little mint tree is a great way to perk up your winter decor with a holiday staple. Be sure to let your family know that, once the mints have been exposed to the glue they are no longer edible!

Things you need:
Striped mints
Fiberboard doll cone
Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Things to do:
1. Start out by unwrapping the mints and disposing of the wrappings.
2. Run a bead of hot glue about two inches long, half and inch up from the bottom edge of the tree form.
3. Press the two to three mints in a row into the glue. Repeat the process until you have covered the bottom edge of the tree, making sure that the tree will sit flatly on a table.

4. Start on the next layer of mints, settling the mints on this row in between those on the bottom for a better fit.
5. Continue with this process until you have covered the entire tree. Finish with a mint on the very top.
