Make A Simple Valentine And Fill It With Love…Or Chocolate

by admin — 8 Comments »

Lazies, With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, here is a simple project that you can customize for a personal and special gift. Make an A-Door-Ables and fill it with notes of love or friendship. Your special Valentine can open a note a day and think of you!

A-Door-Ables
Our A-Door-Ables design (LGD109) is a simple and decorative pocket you can fill and hang anywhere. The pattern includes two sizes. I used the large size and the Posh fabric line by Chez Moi from Moda Fabrics.

A Special Valentine
For Valentine’s Day, I filled one of these special pockets with notes of love and special memories for my hubster Michael.

Valentine’s Day A-Door-Ables filled with notes of love.

Note Cards
To make cards, find some coordinating colored paper and cut it into small rectangles about 2 inches by 3 inches or the size of a business card.

Messages
Write messages of love, kind thoughts, favorite quotes or special memories on the note cards, then fold the cards in half and tuck in the A-Door-Ables. Or type all of your messages and print them onto special paper and cut into cards. Decorate the cards fronts, too. I placed some filler material below the note cards, in the bottom of the A-Door-Ables.

Make them for friends.

Where To Hang
Hang an A-Door-Ables on a door knob, drawer pull or anywhere you like. You can even thumbtack it to a bulletin board.

Hang from the nightstand for a great place to hold your eye glasses overnight. Place near the door for your keys.

Yes, the A-Door-Ables is open at the bottom. And you can stitch it closed, stuff a little stuffing in there to clog the hole, or leave it as is depending on how you choose to use it.

Ideas For Fillers
– Individually wrapped chocolate or other candies.
– Wrap some chocolates in cellophane, tie with a ribbon.
– Love notes.
– Fill with scented potpourri and stitch closed for a sachet.
– Fill with treats for a pet lover.

Fabrics And Supplies
You’ll need a small amount of fabric and some goodies for decorations. I used three coordinating fabrics for each A-Door-Ables and a little ribbon or yarn. Grab a couple of fat quarters of fabric and you’ll have enough to sew up a handful of these versatile favorites.

Get the Pattern and Make Your Own
