A lot of the materials were things I found or leftovers like the jeans pocket which was in my box of bits and pieces that I like to save in case I can make something with them in the future.
The jeans pocket used to be on a skirt I no longer fitted in. The heart a little piece of leftover fabric. The metal "Love" piece I found on a pavement in January (you'd be surprised what little trinkets you can find dropped on pavements!)The backing card I bought from an art shop for under a £1 (but you can get at least 3 greeting cards from 1 piece of card) and the glittery hearts I put on the inside were from a £2 pack of stickers (but I still have some left over for future projects)
I sewed on the heart and embroidered the "my" on the train to Brighton for the Seedy Sunday Seed Swap. A few people om the train had a nose at what I was up to when I was making that.
And of course using a jeans pocket I had to pop a little present for him in the pocket. Teamed up with a red envelope!
He was chuffed. It took a little while to put together but it was definitely worth it and so many little bits and bobs were upcycled - some people would even think it rubbish!!
Did you make your other half's Valentine Card this year?
