Valentine's Day cards are up for sale!

Here is what I was busy DIY-ing this weekend! They are slowly being posted on the Etsy shop, ready to be ordered! If you live in Toronto and would like to meet up to save on the shipping fees, this can be arranged as well. You can send me a message though my Facebook page for that. I have already had a few people asking about the cards and their availability will be updated as I go along right on the Facebook page, so keep updated there!

Hope these inspire you to create some of your own, or to share your love for Valentine's Day. If you choose to make one of your own, remember to hashtag #eatlovecraft on both Instagram and Twitter (find me at @dasootas and follow).

Enjoy!

DIY Hanging Tissue Paper Fower

Hey Everyone! Here is a great new project for the weekend. You should all know one thing about me and Valentine's Day; I Love it! It has always been my favourite holiday of all time since I was a child. I am preparing for Valentine's Day by decorating the mantle at home with lots of pinks, reds and white! I am slowly working on some projects in between my school work. So far, I have created a cute hanging tissue paper flower (with two colors), a decorated candle that sits on some smaller tissue paper flowers and a card holder. The card holder is a combination of a paper heart chain that would mimic a wreath and a board I wanted to create for a 'mailbox' for cards. I will have a small DIY tutorial in another post for that project.

DIY Taylor Swift WildFox Couture Heart Sweatshirt

Hey Everyone! Here is a new DIY for y'all. Something new I am trying for 2013 is to get more posts up and more projects out. I wanted to share this project asap because it is so easy and also because Valentines Day is only a month away! I loved this shirt that Taylor Swift wore and really wanted it but was not going to pay $129 for it! That is when my creativity took over and had me thinking 'Hey, I could just make this!' 

Here is the Original Version 

(Keep reading to see the final result!)

This DIY is really Simple and you don't need much at all. One of the perks is that it cost less than $10! (Thats two in a Row!)

DIY Studded Clutch

This is one of my favourite things I have made so far. The best part is that it cost less than $10!

For this DIY you would need:

• 1/3 yard of vinyl or pleather ($5)
• Lining material (on hand)
• Brass Paper fasteners ($3)
• Awl
• Basic Sewing Supplies
• Sewing Machine
• Chalk
• Scissors
• Ruler/Measuring tape
• Pins

*I have steps here on how to create the front studded part of the purse. I will link out to a YouTube video for instructions on how to put everything together.

The first step is to take an existing clutch or book that is the size you want your new one to be and measure around it. Add one inch to each edge to create your border and cut lines. For example, if your desired size is 7x4, your cut fabric piece will be 8x5. You will have a total of four piece to cut.
