7 Days of Color Day 1: Red!

       If you don't know what's going on yet, i'm doing 7 Days of Color. Read about it in my post explaining it: 7 Days of Color
Day 2: Orange!

Day 3: Yellow!
Day 4: Green!

        On to Day 1 of our week of color! I've decided to go in rainbow order with these, so today, I'm posting red. Most of these DIYs are centered around Valentine's Day- because that's obviously the holiday you would most need red for. But, don't worry; i've included non-lovey-dovey things, too.

Maraschino Cherry Cake

First on this list is a Maraschino Cherry Cake. Technically, I have made this before, but I have decided to include it in the post anyway as I haven't done a post about it yet. I will get to this eventually, because it was absolutely amazing and I baked it for Mother's Day this year. Definitely worth trying. 

Perfect Red Lips Tutorial

Since we're celebrating the color red, of course I had to include a tutorial for the perfect red lips, since that is a popular trend right now. I can't say i'll try it myself anytime soon, but for anyone who would like to, this post includes links to other tutorials as well.

Red Velvet Hot Chocolate

During my quest for all things red, I am dutifully avoiding red velvet cake recipes. However, I cannot completely avoid red velvet flavored recipes. Especially those involving chocolate.

Surprise Valentine's Crackers

These are intended more for the sort of children's parties, but I just think they're so adorable, I had to post them. 

Red Velvet Cheesecake Dip

Okay, last red velvet recipe, I promise. It just looks so tasty; I have to try it sometime.

52 Things I Love About You Cards

I looked everywhere for a good tutorial for this. Everywhere. The one I found didn't have a great picture, so I borrowed the picture from a post on pinterest, and linked to the good tutorial.  There are a number of ways to go about making these, and each one is different. Just have fun making it your own c:

DIY Heart-Shaped Pillows

These pillows are just so cute, I can't wait to make them. 

Strawberry Nails

I found both of these photos on Pinterest and couldn't decide which to post, because if I were to do them i'd combine both. So, I've posted both pictures, and linked to the only one with a tutorial.

There you go, 8 DIYS featuring the color red. Hope you enjoy!
