Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Valentine's Tutorials

Last week we made applique Valentine's Day cards so I thought this week I would bring you some tutorials on different avenues for making Valentine's. 

I am sure many of you are always looking for things to do with your kids and trying to keep them busy. Here is a great idea from HousingAForest for finger knitting and making Valentine's. 

I have never tried to make anything out of tissue paper, but these roses over at TheIdeaRoom are so pretty. And there are so many colors to make them. 

Now this looks pretty complicated to make, but it actually isn't when you read it. Check out this tutorial at SweetandSimpleLiving to find out how to make it. 

Then for all you sewers out there here is a great heart pillow from Imaginegnats. You can make this for your Valentine decorating. :) 

I was surprised when I started looking for tutorials for making Valentine's that there were so many different avenues for making them. Now the problem is which one's to do! :)

Have fun creating!
