Valentine Party Necklace Craft

Looking for a low cost craft for your Valentine party? This idea comes to you with no strings attached – yet!  I found a six pack of plastic strings at Dollar Tree and inspiration struck to have a necklace stringing craft at our party.  Dollar Tree did have plastic beads, for you guessed it, one dollar.  However I chose the beads from Michaels because they also had heart beads available.  As you know, Michaels has some pretty good dollar bins, however no luck this time on beads.  So armed with my 25% off entire purchase coupon, I picked up a bag of plain and a bag of heart beads for just over $5.00.  How do you acquire such a coupon you might be asking?  Sign up for their sales flyer by email and they just start sending you coupons; it’s that easy.  (I did make other purchases that day, because this coupon only comes once a month and you can only use them on a certain day and a certain time.  Read the fine print because there are other restrictions).   I opened the beads and dumped them in the bowl and voila! The cutie heart bowl came from Walmart for $1.00.
