If you need an inexpensive, last minute lil' something for your sweet kiddos' classroom or maybe a Sunday School class - this might be something you would like. My lil' guy and I had a lot of fun making these - like we always do - flour everywhere!!!! But they are super easy and most of you will probably have everything you need right at home. Jus' a lil' something simple that I thought I'd share with you.
Happy Valentine's Day my farmgirl friends.

Love your blog and even enjoyed visiting some of the blogs you list as links!
I made these little valentines with my girl when she was in elementary school (she is now 30) and we then made them into necklaces by making a small hole in the top of the heart while shaping them, and lastly inserting yarn for each of her school mates. We had a lot of fun doing it too!
I also noticed on your bnlog you have alittle white bison named Snowball. For 18 years we had one named Cottonball. What great pets they are!

Those are adorable! Thanks for sharing them with us. My son's kindergarten Valentine's party is today. I sent in pink heart with a magnet on the back along with pink and red heart shaped crayons & stickers for the kids to decorate them with. My son dislikes most of the snacks from his party, so I thought a little magnet for mommy or Grandma's refrigerators would be more fun for them.
This looks like a great keepsake for them to make in first grade. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for your sweet, kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed looking at them - I'll share my Easter salt dough goodies when I get them done. I will do my best to not be so last minute next time - time jus' gets away from me sometimes.
We all know - a farmgirl's work is never done - but oh what fun it is!!!
Many blessings to you all and have a beautiful Valentine's Day!

Thank you so much Beverly. The paint I used is simply acrylic craft paint - oh I would hate to say how many bottles of that stuff I have. As far as that wonderful song - I'm not for sure who sings it but it is from the "Joe Black" soundtrack. I absolutely love it too - I find myself pulling this song back up real often.
So glad you liked the lil' necklaces and I truly appreciate your kind words.
Happy Valentine Wishes! Cathy

Sounds like you guys have already gotten busy making some of your own - so glad you are having fun with them. I took my lil' boys treats for his Kindergarten class this morning - and the lil' girls were tickled to death - makes it all worth while (those nights I'm up to 2 a.m. piddlin')hehe
Beverly, your question about the wire - I'm sorry to say that I don't know what gage it is. I simply use our fencing wire. My only recommendation would not to use something to light weight - salt dough is kind of heavy - especially if you are making larger ornaments. Wish I could be more specific - but my wire jus' come out of the fencing box on the 4-wheeler. Hubby hasn't missed it jus' yet. 
Have a happy and beautiful day!
Valentine Wishes,
Cathy
