Many people seem to hate Valentines Day and find it depressing - but I reckon it's a good excuse to show all those you care about that you love them instead of just your partner. I put together a little package of love for my Grandparents to give them something to smile about on Thursday.
The package included a card, lots of patterned paper hearts, some hand made heart hand warmers and instructions of how to use them.
Making the hand warmers is really easy:
1. Pick pretty fabric and cut out two heart shapes, pin right sides together and sew (leaving a small gap)
2. Turn inside out and fill the heart with rice. I also put some dried lavender in mine so they smelt nice too!
3. Sew up the small gap and voilà! All you need to do is pop them in the microwave for 20 seconds or so and then put them inside your gloves to warm up cold hands!
