Valentines gifts

Instead of sending candy for Valentines Day, Matt and I decided that a handmade gift would be better. So, I made some barrettes for the girls and "trinket keepers" for the boys.


You can see the back side of the bags here (though the order has changed from the earlier picture).



The tutorial for the Rose Barrettes came from "the purl bee". The tutorial for the Trinket Keepers came from "amazing mae".

PS: I didn't use wool felt...just the normal stuff. And I also made one for Caroline - purple rose, pink base. Nathan got a bag as well, but his has a piece of Thomas the train fabric on the back instead of the painted object.
