Date Night idea card craft

• Happy Valentine’s Day!

   

  Since it’s LOVE day, I thought I’d share a quick & fun craft that you and your husband can do together. 

  On Date Night my husband & I sometimes have a difficult time deciding on what we’d like to do. It’s usually dinner & maybe running errands. So I thought we could each write down several date ideas for future Date Nights. I used 10 scrap pieces of card stock, and we both wrote 5 fun date ideas on the back of the cards {he took the odd numbers, I took the even}. I reused a wooden frame from another project & taped pieces of baker’s twine to the back. {The burlap hanger on the frame was left from its previous use as a door hanger for my son’s birthday party} I then clipped the cards to the twine using clothespins. I hung the frame on our bathroom door using a wreath hanger. This is a super simple & cheap project. It cost me ZERO to make!

  

  Wanna make one?

  Here’s the supply list…

  - a frame

  - scrap paper or card stock

  - string, ribbon, twine, etc.

  - tape, glue/hot glue, or a staple gun

  - clothespins or paperclips

  - a hanger of sorts {depending on where you plan on hanging it}

   

  

  The possibilities are endless with this project. If you don’t want to make a frame to hang your cards, you can put them in envelopes. You & your spouse could also keep the date(s) a secret from each other to make it a fun surprise. On a couple of the cards we wrote family date ideas that we could do with our son, like going to the MS Children’s Museum.
