Homemade Valentines

 

**These cute little homemade Valentines are much easier than they look! Whether you use construction paper or card stock, the results will be charming and your child will be very proud. It makes for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for teachers, the babysitter, or even a best friend.






*** How cute are these???
To make these custom treat packages, cut out a picture of your child, scan it, and print onto heavyweight matte paper. Cut tags using pinking shears for the bottom edges, draw hearts, and stamp or write a message on each one. Fold the tags and tape them to cellophane bags filled with sweets***

I think I might just steal this idea!

Create this adorable card by making signs out of construction paper, doilies, and adhesive letters from an office-supply store. Photograph your child or yourself :) holding the signs, then tape the pictures to construction paper and fold the card accordion-style.

Too Sweet! Trace your child's hand and make your own conversation piece..Bling it, sweeten it, or write a little note!

Who doesn't like to receive flowers on Valentine's Day? These are super easy. and you can see them at our office on display. Cut out four hearts and place a lolly pop in the center. Make a bouquet out of them...or hand them out as valentines.
