Other supplies you'll need: Pencil Glue - glue stick or craft glue - whichever you prefer Old envelope or envelope template. If this is a project you see yourself recreating in the future or with other papers you could invest in an envelope template kit, or you can print templates (you'll need to print at 100% on a larger format printer) from Designer's Toolbox on a heavy stock (mount to board for a longer lasting template). Trace the shape of your envelope onto the page, finding the position that you prefer on the image/page. Next, cut out along the lines. Happy re-purposing!

Sweetheart Tray My honey and I aren’t big on lavish expenditures on Valentine’s Day. Usually, we spend it at home with just a few decadent treats like dark chocolate and champagne ~ a thoughtful card with a sweet sentiment is always exchanged. For the longest time, I’ve been wanting to craft something with the sheet music from our wedding song, but couldn’t decide what to do. A card? A picture frame mat? Perfect for serving chocolates and bubbly today . . We’ve been married over 11 years, and our wedding song was Harry’s version of ‘It Had to Be You’. Sing to me darling, sing to me! Where was I? *dazed by Harry* Oh yes! Making a Sheet Music Tray I started with an old melamine tray with a floral pattern I’ve had for years but wasn’t using. Next, I snagged the pages of sheet music from my stash. Knowing I’d never fit all three pages, I cut the excerpts from the stanzas into strips. You could use this same idea for a favorite poem, lullaby, quote, whatever ! . . . all while humming along with Harry Cheers !

"Stained Glass" Votive Holders By Jenny Ryan Many times when I’m at the grocery or drug store, I can’t resist throwing a few scented votive candles in my cart. When I’m ready to burn them, it’s easy enough to sit one on a cute little vintage china saucer, but I recently decided to try and find a fancier display solution for them. I also wanted the project to be inexpensive, and the materials used to be things I already had on hand. I was inspired by memories of making faux-stained glass in elementary school and came up with these fun little glass votive holders. This project is quick and easy, and a great way to whip up custom party décor on the cheap. Materials Tissue paper in your desired colors Mod Podge (matte finish), in a pinch you can also use school gluePaintbrush Scissors Glass containers to fit your candle(s), I used thrifted vases and wine tumblers Paper punches in various shapes Q-tips, optional Directions Step 3: Start affixing the punched-out paper shapes to the glass using your paintbrush.
