BIY * Chocolate Love *



BIY.
Let's make something personal each month! Is it the birthday month of one of your friends? Husband? Your Mom?Dad? Is it your sister's birthday? Is it Valentine's Day?
I got you covered. We will make a super easy, homemade little gift for the birthday boy/girl/man/woman in your life.
I would like to post something BIY each month, so you can surprise your loved ones with an extra special gift.

I made these chocolate spoons for everyone for Christmas. They are easy to make, and a real inexpensive treat for anyone.
Forget about the powders, make a real,super rich, fancy hot chocolate.

Let's get BIYing

You'll need :


     *ice tray *chocolate chips (white or regular) *wooden spoons ( they are really cheap on amazon)

     Different flavors/decoration:
     * peppermint
     * cinnamon
     * marshmallows
     * sprinkles
     * orange zest
     * almonds

*Go ahead and melt you chocolate.....
Wait, what? How do I melt chocolate?
Use a double boiler. You'll need a pot with water in it. Put a pan on top of it, where you'll put your chocolate in. Chocolate can burn very easily, so the water steam will melt the chocolate for you.
* Pour the melted chocolate into your ice tray. Mix it with white chocolate for a marble effect, use only white chocolate, mix the flavor in it ( cinnamon, orange zest, peppermint.. etc.)
* Put your spoon in the middle.
* Decorate the top!
*Put your tray in the fridge for a few hours.

( I tried mine with a cookie pan as well, the only thing I did differently is that I rubbed the pan with coconut oil before I poured the chocolate in. )



The flavor is really up to you, and the person who is receiving your gift. My husband's favorite is the one with the marshmallows, really simple, classic hot chocolate. I love the orange one with some cinnamon.

Give it it a try, trust me everybody loves hot chocolate! And the fact that you made it especially for them will make it the most delicious treat they have ever had.

* Make someone happy *



Making someone happy is really easy, so why not do it with some homemade little gift cards? 
I've recently mailed off some packages for my family and friends in Hungary. 
I wanted to make something thoughtful for them, but I needed something flat and small to fit in the packages, so I decided on making unique 3D cards for them. 

They are easy to make ( as always) so use your creativity and make someone HAPPY today!

* You can do it *


1.  2.  3.  4.  

Valentine's Day is really hard if you are in a long distance relationship. It's important to make your loved one happy. That's what my husband did. He painted me a super cute clothespin, just like the one on my inspiration board. (4.) It was one of the sweetest things he made me during our long distance stage. 
So when I started to plan our Hungarian wedding, I looked at that little clothespin, and decided to make our wedding favors just like the one HE made me. 



They are cheap and easy to make, and I think they are amazing gifts cause everyone will know that you made each and every one of them.  
Here is how I managed to make them by hand for all of the guests for our wedding. 
P.S.: If you have an insane amount of guests you might need some help from your friends and family to make them :) 
















For my wedding I painted the back like a rainbow, and on the sides, I put our names and the date. I think everyone loved them, and I hope I could help you with this little project. 

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,
