Valentines Day banner

Using pages from an old book, some Valentines day paper, and a phrase of your choice - printed off the computer, you can make this fun banner. It is glued onto black card stock to make it more firm. It is strung with jute and has ribbon added to each.

Valentines Day advent calender

 These snack bags make the perfect Valentines Day advent calender. The snack bags are from Hobby Lobby and a local kitchen supplies store. I printed numbers off, glued them to the front of each bag, filled them with treats, and clipped them to a piece of jute. I also added a heart shaped paper doily to a couple of them. This project is easy and cheap.

Valentine Party

Who else besides me has to come up with games for their kiddos Valentine class party?

I was searching for ideas online and came across the CUTEST source. Find it HERE.

The games looked so FUN and EASY to do with any class. Some of them remind me of what you'd see on "Minute to Win It." Love that show...

I will definitely be using these ideas. Hope you LOVE 'em too!

Kids Valentines

This year, we wanted to do something new for Valentines.  We decided to make bags of candy with their pictures on them that looked factory sealed.  We added a Yoda on the back for my son who was set on Star Wars Valentines.  And my daughter made a Valentine drawing for the back of hers.

I made these on Picasa as 4x6 photos
Printed them
Folded in Half
Stapled to Bags of Candy (We used the jewelry bags from Walmarts handmade jewelery section)

Love Dice

Here is another fun printable for you! LOVE DICE! These cute blocks will surely add some fun and romance to your Valentines day! They would also be a fun bridal shower gift. I made them clean, although both blocks have one side that says 'surprise.'    ;) 

Simply print on colored paper, cut out, fold, and glue tabs.

Valentine Bouquet

Our Enrichment Leader showed us how to make this sweet Valentine Bouquet. These are fun to give to kids, husbands, friends, and neighbors.  We decorated paper bags with valentine heart paper.  Then we put a block of floral foam inside.  We attached assorted gummies and cookies to the skewers and stuck them inside.  The gummies are the "glue" to hold on the cookies.  We covered some of the skewers with red vines but they seemed to be tight and tear easily.  All around an easy, cheap project. 

Heart attack printable!

 I made some fun heart printables for you to give someone a 'heart attack.' I laid mine out on my husband's side of the bed, for a fun surprise after a long day. You could attack someone's car, locker, desk, door, mailbox, etc.  I printed mine on both pink and red papers. The thick black lines make the hearts easy and fast to cut out. Make someone's day!

Valentine Mailboxes

These are the Mailboxes you can buy in Target's dollar section.  We labeled ours with vinyl and keep them in our rooms where we can give each other little treats and messages.  We keep them out for about a month before Valentines Day.  My kids check their mailboxes 10x a day and love to leave "secret admirer" notes.  The only problem is I have to remember to reply to their sweet little notes. 

Valentines Day pop top cans

Here are the candy filled cans that I made for gifts.

1- Open a pop top can from the bottom with a can opener. (A smooth edge one is best)

2- Use the fruit or whatever is there

3- Wash and dry the can

4- Fill with candy or surpises

5- Hot glue the bottom back on

6- Decorate the can

This was a fun little project. The idea is not my own, it has been around for a while now. You can even go to the cannery and get a can there and have it sealed. There are so many possibilities with this idea. Have fun!

Valentines Day frame

This is the same frame I used for my Christmas 'traditions' frame. I just love this frame, so I decided to make a Valentines Day theme for it. (I am sure this isn't the last of this frame you will see, as there are many holidays). I just used scrapbook paper and made strips of paper. I added a piece of notebook paper and hand wrote on it what looks to be a love letter. It is actually my favorite love quotations. I also added a piece of ribbon and the brackets and hearts were cut out on my Cricut. Once done and framed, I added three little flowers and taped them right to the glass. They add dimension and style. Find any size or shape of frame and make your Valentines Day decor.

Valentines day countdown muffin tin

Using scrapbook paper (from Hobby Lobby), I cut out some squares, hearts, and rounded edge squares. I made them just big enough to fit over the muffin tin holes. On the back, I put a small magnet on the top and bottom of each one. Below is a FREE printable to use for the numbers. Since there are only 12 muffin holes, two of my muffin holes have two numbers. Or you could start with number 3. Add ribbon, ink edges, and embellish however you want! This project is cheap and so fun for you and your family to have a little chocolate kiss, candy heart, or love notes in each one.

Personalized Photo Valentines

I love these Personalized Photo Valentines and they were as easy as buying cheesy Transformers at Target.  I made this picture collage using picas and left a space for my son to sign his name.  I had them printed as 4x6 pictures. Then we stapled these great little Valentine airplanes to them that I found at Oriental Trading.

Valentine Decor

I made these fun Valentine Decorations using good old paint, wood and Vinyl.
