Valentine Gifts for the Cook or Chef
Welcome to the January Creative Craft blog hop
hosted by Sara from Birdz of a Feather
Each month this group of clever crafters
share ideas and tutorials of things they have made
Welcome readers, friends and visitors from Decorate and More with Tip
She is so smart to get a head start on Spring
with her Easter Riser!
This month I’m making gifts for the cook or chef,
his and hers, Valentine and Galentine!
They consist of a pot holder filled with a kitchen utensil,
a towel, chocolates, hand painted Valentine cards, a recipe
and heart cookie cutters tied on with ribbons
Let’s make the cards first and then we’ll assemble the gifts
I used watercolor, but you can use any paint you have or colored markers
Hearts are easy to paint,
stroke, stroke, fill
for the flowery heart, do the heart first
and then add small abstract flowers and leaves
with a variety of little strokes
For the squiggly hearts draw or paint hearts randomly
and when dry add heart shapes and twirly lines
with a fine liner pen
These are the gift items, black pot holders, Valentine dish towels,
wood spurtles,* Valentine chocolates, and cookie cutters
*a spurtle is a combination of a spatula and a spoon,
a great addition to your kitchen utensil drawer
Put a spurtle and tea towel inside the pot holder pocket
Next I tied a bow on the pot holder loop at the top
and then tied the cookie cutters on with ribbons
that and hung down from the bow
I tucked a little pink bag holding a chocolate truffle in front of the towel
Sign the hand made card and tuck it in behind the towel
I also added a few more small wrapped chocolate hearts
For the Chef’s gift the truffle bag is red
I included a recipe for each gift that uses the cookie cutters
Red Velvet brownies for her
and Fifth Dimension Burgers for him
You can download a printable of the recipes here
Print the recipes on card stock,
trim the excess paper and tuck them in leaving the title
and a part of the recipe visible
His and Hers!
A gift to enjoy in the kitchen plus chocolate!
