Although I used the combination of an exact knife + scissors, the design and actually construction of this one was very quick (under 8 mins) with a full video demo here.

Just a fun way to say, "You MAKE me happy just by being you! So here’s something to MAKE you happy too🫶🏻 A personalized Valentine bead kit!" Love, Abby
We do plan on making 10-12 of these and then a more gender neutral idea for the other half of my daughter's 2nd grade class (coming soon!) + even though I filmed a video demo of me making these from start to finish, which you can see here.
I do plan on having my 7 year old help "spell out" each classmates name on top her craft mat when we go to MAKE all of these. Which yet is another reason why I LOVE our Cheeks Brand craft mats! Even for me as an adult, it made the entire process of spelling out names and making the valentine smooth + efficient.
Each of my girls are getting one of these cherry Valentine's in their baskets too (as they personally put in a request for one when they saw what I was making!)
Want to MAKE these?
Supplies:
Bead kit (divided into 12+)
Precut + sized card-stock (back of valentine)
CHEEKS Brand Craft Mats (promo code: mjots20 for 15% off)
Scissors
As always, I love seeing what you MAKE over in Instagram or TikTok. Feel free to tag @mama.jots or send me your creations! I'd love to share!
Warmly, Steph

Birthday parties, celebrations, to even holidays there’s a few things I keep to reuse over and over as well, put away just in case my youngest wants a similar theme as my oldest. Just in case! 🥳
However 5 supplies seem to be on repeat for me + so I’m not at all surprised to hear we want a “party bin tour." I do love to MAKE NEW THINGS, yet every now and then WHAT I use is not always “new.”
So to start, here are my top 5 party bin supplies I have + use the most. Then if you would like to see a video demo of each in use, you can watch that over on Instagram, here.
One: Mylar Balloons
Two: Air Pump
Three: Gaffer Tape
Four: Garlands + Paper Hanging decor (full round up here)
Five: Birthday crowns, banners, accessories (round up here )
Everything else I keep is usually based on one color I purposely choose which is present in both girls themes (such as plates, cups + napkins) so for the “themed items,” I purposely MAKE those the more visual part of the party such a DIY decor, party favors + cake toppers.
Funny enough, my oldest is already starting to talk to me about what "theme" she's requesting for 2024... (Last year's puppy party theme here)
So we'll circle back to that in May. As I always gear up every year for our "party month of June" with both of my girls bdays celebrated 2 weeks apart.
Why Yes.
Yes we do!
Warmly, Steph
