"Your the Bomb" Valentine!!

The mentos candy cost btwn $1.50 to $3 dollars total depending where you buy it and the length of the candy... Dollar store has each piece for around 50 cents and walmart had longer ones for 75 cents a piece... Hope that tidbit helps! =)

Homemade Magnets!!!

Easy to make!!! I found diff shapes/flowers etc from arts & crafts section, they are foam stickers. I stuck foam stickers on soft foam background and Cut around each design to my desire. I found magnet strip that is super long and cut into desired lengths and the magnet strip had a sticky side to attach to back... If needed use hot glue gun or super glue!

Simple Flower Display

Sooo easy to make! I used a clear vase I already owned.... wire cutters needed to clip desired fake flowers from main stem... I got supplies at local Wal-Mart, but sure they can be found at other similar locations. In the Flower isle.... there is small pellets that when placed in water for 4 hours they soak up water and are the soft gel balls. It only takes one package (less than $2). I filled up vase 3/4 way up w pat-dried gel balls then placed cut flowers in where I desired (carefully to not break/damage gel balls) then filled up rest of vase with remaining gel balls and Vahla! Quick, easy and Beautiful! :) project cost me a total of about $10 to $15...

Great Cheap Idea! Homemade Bowling

Just need:
10 water bottles, white paint, black paint, couple paint brushes, and a random ball.

I took 10 empty water bottles filled each with about 1 inch water. I am sure you could use rice or sand. I painted bottles white. 2 coats. then after dry added 2 black stripes around each bottle towards the top. Let Dry. and PLAY. hahaha my 4 year old was dying to play bowling, but just didnt have the money to. so I thought we could still have fun and save $. He got 7 pins on first couple tries and I got 2 pins on my first couple tries... wow what just happened. lol  ball can be baseball, air filled ball or whatever just not too heavy or too light... =D
