Martha Stewart was the inspiration for our homemade Valentine's. We made these stained glass hearts in red, white, purple and blue because "we" wanted to give a marbled effect. The color selection was also so that the 2 boys in the class wouldn't feel too overwhelmed with pink and red. The Valentine's turned out nice and we even used Martha's idea for heart envelopes. I was able to use my stash of pink "Crack & Peel" paper for the heart stickers to seal the envelope. (FYI-"Crack & Peel" is a sticky-backed paper). MC did a great job writing her classmates' names! She's getting so good at transferring (copying) letters.
I was able to use the left-over scraps to brighten up our kitchen window with some Valentine cheer. The colors aren't as intense in these hearts because they were the top sheet of waxed paper that I peeled off (the MS instructions don't tell you to do this but I think it makes the hearts look better!).

Here is a close-up of a finished heart. Aren't they pretty?
