Recycle Reuse Valentine Craft







I really like the idea, although I'm not thrilled with the way they turned out. I did get into a bit of a pinch. I was making these for the neighbor kids that my son was playing with next door. When my son came home and announced they were headed out, I had to complete them and ship them back out the door with my son.

More Valentine Class Gifts

I took advantage of my daughter being home today and put her to work helping me make Valentines for her class at school. She didn't last very long, but she did help me get the little girls colored.





I think they turned out pretty stinkin' cute if I may say so myself. I filled small plastic bags with Hershey's Kisses and some cool valentine glitter I found at my local craft stores. I cut strips of red paper and used my Martha Stewart Edge punch to scallop the bottom edges. I used a strip of patterned paper and pop dotted the little girl on top. The little girl was stamped and we used colored pencils to color her, before we carefully cut her out. The best part is I'm done and had time to spare.
