Awesome Craft Tools- Fringe Scissors

@ Joy's Life.com

Okay, call me behind the times but I was surfing the net looking for budget crafts today and ran across this Valentine's Day gift box embellished with a really cute gift bow at Joy's Life which was made using these fringe scissors by Martha Stewart.  They apparently have been out for a while now. How have I not heard of these? These would be perfect for all kinds of crafts plus even making your own gift wrap shred.. Needless to say I have to get some now that I know they exist.  I love making gift bows and stuff like this so I really think these will come in handy all sorts of ways.

So I hopped right on over to Amazon and I found some very inexpensive multi-blade scissors. They are not Martha Stewart brand but as long as they cut, that's all that really matters, right?  So I found a pair of these for as low as $5.75 with free shipping.  Unfortunately, I couldn't find any good deals on the Martha Stewart brand.  If I get the off brand I'll be sure to come back and let you know how they work.

Glitter Valentine'sTreat Boxes

@Such Pretty Things

I am in love with these cute little heart boxes found at Such Pretty Things.  I actually have a package of small plastic heart boxes just like those (without the glitter) I purchases at Dollar Tree last year.  I picked them up knowing something could be done with them and now, thanks to this post I know what I can do! She did a wonderful job on these :)
