Delicate Wax Doily Valentines from Scented Candle Stubs

I heart snow days. Literally. 

Tuesday's blizzard meant spending Wednesday indoors having fun with Bird, eating frozen pizza and making all kinds of valentine fun, including these wonderfully dainty wax doilies. They are so delicate and elegant! Smell nice too. Most things come out of my craft studio covered in glue blobs and smelling like burning hair...these valentines must be Bird's influence. 

Hearts made from melted crayons have been popular for a few years now, thanks to Martha's tutorial. But as much as  I love Maratha's hearts, I'm too much of a klutz to follow the steps without breaking the end result. I decided it would be easier if there was softer wax and a sturdier base;  enter paper doilies and scented candles.

Paper Weaving - make a greetings card

Weaving with Paper/Card

Weaving is very versatile as it can be made out of many things such as paper and card, wool, fabric, ribbon, as well as organic material such as willow reeds and long leaves, anything flexible, long and not too wide will probably work. Here I’m showing you how to weave with paper/card and how to use it in a greetings card. It’s a great way to have a go at weaving, once you’ve tried it I guarantee you’ll want to weave with other materials. There will be other projects involving weaving with other materials on the things-to-make-and-do website so try them out and have some fun.
