Valentine Airplane Tutorial

Valentines Airplane



This is my very first tutorial!!! I am kinda excited about it. I know that doing these for Izaaks Valentines was a little over kill, but I only had to make nine so it wasnt to bad and I thought they were soooo cute. I could resist.


What you will need!!!
Heavy Duty Chipboard
(cut in to 2 21/2-8 pieces
1 1/2 x21/2 propeller
1 4 x 2 then a notch for the tube to fit)
Long plastic tube
Scrapbook paper
*I just used a paper pack that I had from a long time ago
Buttons
Wire
Ribbon
Candy

I cut out all my cardboard pieces and then took my wire and threaded it through the buttons and twisted the wire around so that the button was tight. Then I Hot glued everything to the plastic tube. They are super simple and it took me about an hour to make nine so not to time consuming either!!





Then I just made a cute little tag that said "You're just PLANE cool"
I loved how they turned out and Izaak was so excite!! Sorry I didn't post this sooner so you could make some for your Valentines, butt maybe next year!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

I am A Lame Blogger!

I am totally a lame blogger! Nothing to adventurous has been going on here!! We have keep things kinda low key this past month. So here is a bunch of randomness!!!

I have been trying to stock up my Etsy store with come cute things!!!














I also took some Valentines Pictures of Ainzley!! Hope to take some of Izaak this week!

Isnt she so cute!!!


Last but not least a kind funny but painful story. I have been really wanting to redo our bedroom and so I have kinda been bugging Aaron to get things done for it! And we have had this super cute Headboard and Footboard that we got at downeast home in Utah for $75.00 super sweet deal. I wanted it painted and distress and all that. Well he has finally been working on it. Yesterday morning he was finishing up the footboard and I was out in the garage talking to him and the footboard sliped and I was like "oh let me help you with that" and I took a step to pick up the other side and he dropped the footboard right on my foot. Oh Man it hurt so bad. I ran into the house and by the time he got in to see if I was ok my foot had formed this huge huge bump that was bright purple on it. Aaron felt so horrible he was sure that it was broken and that we need to go to the Community Care, but I could move my toes and walk alittle on it so i didnt think it was broke. Our neighbor is a PA that works in the ER came and looked at it and said to give it a coupld days to see what happens, so thats what I am going to do! So needless to say I did not get anything done yesterday. I did lay in bed which I havent done in along time. It was kinda nice.
Here is a picture that Aaron took with his phone you can not see the huge purple looking thing that was on the top. But now its just black and swollen from my toes to my ankle!! Sorry if feet gross you out. And I really need a pedicure!! LOL


But our bed looks amazing and I cant wait to finish up the rest of our bedroom! I will post pictures and I will be posting my first ever tutorials on my blog. I have some fun ideas to share..
