PHOTO-A-DAY: Day 44
In my little corner of Crazytown I spent the evening helping my son assemble hand-folded origami bookmark hearts for his school Valentine’s Day party.
One other photo from today is below. Take a look and let me know which is your favorite.
I like both of them….but photographically I think I like the second one best. Have you written the name of the recipient on each card? It looks like they are typed? In E’s class does each child also receive some candy or a present? Those are rather large projects you’ve been involved in. And a Happy Valentine’s Day to you!!! Busy….busy….busy….
Thanks! The names on the hearts are done with a rubber stamp. I have one that looks like one of those old library checkout stamps where you can change the letters if that makes sense. E helped me with the origami ones. You can’t really see it in the photo, but each bookmark is attached to a small clear bag with 3 pieces of candy in it.
Both are great photos, but I love the Origami heart one. I have never seen an origami heart. What a cute Valentine’s gift. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Thanks! They were super easy to make. But making 24 of them was a bit tedious after the first few. My son and I divided and conquered them, though.
Where did you find the directions for the origami heart? I’d love to learn how to make them. And where did you find the stamp? Or is it old? Both projects are so sweet!
I like your use of depth of field in the first picture and the bright colors in the second. Favorite? It’s a toss up!
I’m pretty sure I got the rubber stamp a long time ago at Michael’s but the only place I was able to find one similar was on Etsy here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/122586515/perfect-alphabet-rolling-rubber-stamp?
