Pillow Post Card

Well, next time you want to send a message to your loved one. Try doing it differently.
Here is the fun way to surprise your special someone.
Make a pillow post card yourself and courier it with a special letter/message written in the postcard format.
This is more suitable for distance relationships.
Just think how nice it would be to read the message from your loved one before going to bed.
It also gives a nice cozy feeling to see your handwritten message in this age of SMSes and emails

Its really easy to make and also quite affordable.

Materials Required:

1. Pillow
2. White plain pillow case/cover
3. Permanent marker ( Preferably a sharp pointed one)

Instructions

1. Divide the cover into two halves and draw a line in the middle.
2. Write the address on the right side. Try to be creative here. Use the original postcard format
3. On the left side write your personal letter/message. You can also scribble on the back side
4. Don’t forget to add the stamp. Any stamp at all..Can be a cute heart too

Note: Try to use a permanent sharpie for writing, as the other markers might smudge a little.

Sorry couldn’t share the pictures this time. Didn’t get my hands on a white pillow case

Paper Plate Clock

Yes, you heard it right . Well it doesn’t really show the time but serves good for a small meaningful gift for your special someone.
Sorry for the image quality
The coloured blocks actually have letter “U” instead of numbers in the clock.

This idea works good for making a handmade card too with a cute little message inside like
“My world revolves around U”
“U are my all Time favourite ”
“Love U always”

I got these paper plates in WalMart, the color black is soo attractive
They look better on my walls than serving as normal paper plates ..

I made white Cardstock clock handles and used letter “U” instead of numbers around.

Used the paper plate for butterfly display too..Have a look..

Lovely Butterflies

Surprise her with this lovely hand-made gift. Girls really like the idea of hand-made gifts, specially when her guy puts so much effort in gifting something so cute for her.
Send her the “Reasons why you love her” with these beautiful butterflies.
This hand-made craft does not need much skill or time. It is a very simple craft and will hardly take 1 hour of your time. Jot the reasons why you like her, one in each paper chit,roll it and put it in the end of the butterfly antenna (Make minimum of 10 butterflies. Use atleast 3-4 different colored tissue papers)

Materials used:
Colourful tissue papers (Can find these in any stationary shop)
Scissors
Pipe cleaners or Fuzzy sticks (Can find these in stationary shops or super-markets)

How to Make:
1. Stack 2 tissue paper squares, then cut the edges to resemble wings.

2. Fold the pipe cleaner in half over the wings, as shown, bunching the tissue slightly.

3. Twist together the pipe cleaner ends to hold the paper in place. Then curl the pipe cleaner tips around your finger or a pencil to create antennae.

Gift her these and give her a reason to smile. This will be a beautiful keepsake. These butterflies can also make a colourful wall/window decoration. Hang them with a string/thread and let them swirl with the wind.
