Besides drooling over chocolate and other foods on Pinterest, I also LOVE the creative nail polish ideas.

I sure wish I’d have thought of this when I was in high school. I can just imagine all of the time I would have put into painting my friend’s nails. Now I’m lucky to have a daughter to practice on!

I found this great You Tube Channel called Cute Polish. They show you exactly how to polish amazing nails like these…

Whether I actually try these designs on my nails or not, they are still fun to look at! I love finding such creative ideas.

Okay, so this is why I love Pinterest so much. I find things like these owls made out of toilet paper rolls! Can you believe it?

This fun idea came from Decoideas a blog based out of Spain. My kids are going to think I’m so weird when I start doodling on toilet paper rolls! ha.

Come follow me on Pinterest and see what other cool ideas I’ve found.

After making my paper straw heart garland, I started thinking of ways I could use my extra straws for classroom gifts. Naturally, having a little girl who loves jewelry, I came up with a bracelet!

Package my free printable Valentine’s Day Tags, some candy and these easy straw bracelets in a clear baggie with my matching bag toppers and you’ll have a perfect gift for little friends! This also makes a fun and easy craft to do with any child.

I used my leftover red and white straws, but having multiple colors together would be super cute!

You can download these cute Valentine’s Day tags and baggie toppers here. Enjoy!

Valentine’s Day is a fun time to express your love and appreciation for others. I don’t go crazy with decorations around my house, but I do enjoy making my kid’s rooms a little festive for each holiday.

This year for my daughter’s room on Valentine’s Day, I got crafty and  wrote a simple message on a chalkboard with a heart garland made from my stash of paper straws.

This craft took me about 10 minutes to make and has made my daughter happy each day since putting it in her room! It was so easy that I’ll be making a longer garland for our mantel.

How to make Heart Paper Straw Garland

What you need:

• Paper Straws (2 for a small heart, 3 for a large heart)
• Twine/String
• Ribbon
• Glue or Glue dots (optional)

Bend the paper straw until it curves easily for you to shape like a heart. I didn’t use glue at all, just squeezed and pushed one end of a straw into another one. I did use a glue dot in the point at the top of the large hearts to keep their shape.

Tie a string to hold them together or use a glue gun.

I found some red tulle for the end of my garland and used glue dots to stick it to my daughter’s chalk board.

Just think of all of the cute things you could do with paper straw hearts?

Dangle them from a wreath, use on gifts, make a centerpiece, decorate your classroom… all kinds of crafty things!

As you know, I love owls. I took my obsession and started a board on Pinterest just for all of my favorite owl finds!

I found this wonderful Owl Fingernail Polish Tutorial on Let Them Have Polish. This will make a fun DIY project this weekend. I’m using my daughter’s toes as my tester!
