Valentine Ideas


Valentine's Day is such a fun time to be creative especially if you have children. Why not let the kids create their own Valentine's. It is cheaper than buying the boxed ones and most of you have card stock laying around and extra Valentine paper.


Supplies Needed:

Cricut Machine

Corner rounder

Card Stock

Valentine Paper

Glue Dots

Jewelry Bags (I bought mine at Hobby Lobby)


Instructions

Cut top tags that are 4"x3"

Cut Valentine paper so that it is 1/2-1" smaller than the tags when they are folded in half

Cut out 1 1/2" hearts using the Cricut or Sizzix machine (I personally love my Cricut Machine and the Scrapbook Supercenter have them for an amazing price)

Round all the corners of your paper


Take your top tags and fold in half (I love using the bone folder to get a crisp edge)

Adhere the Valentine paper to the bottom half of the tag

Fill your bags with your favorite candy

Adhere tag using Glue dots or if you are doing it for your coworkers you can staple them.
