"I am currently a doctorate student, and I LOVE your binders. I carry them to school and they have already lasted almost a year. I am constantly questioned about them, and actually made a class announcement when you had your earth day special."

Simple Valentines Ideas
February 3, 2012
Written By: Savannah

Every year near Valentine’s Day I start thinking of cool new ways to make Valentine cards for my daughter’s school exchange. So far I’ve been pretty happy with my craftiness and it seems like each year gets better and better.  Here is what we did last year and what we’re planning on doing this year.

 

2011: Newspaper “fortune cookies”
What you’ll need:

Candy

Comics section a newspaper

Paper puncher

Something to tie with (string, yarn, ribbon, etc)

Something to write on (construction paper, scrap paper, or a cereal box you’re going to recycle)

 

Directions

Use your construction paper or cereal box to cut out hearts and write a Valentine’s message on each

Punch a hole in each heart

Cut newspaper into squares that can accommodate however much candy you plan on adding

inside

Place candy in center

Collect all four corners so that you end up with a flat surface pinched between your fingers

Punch a hole where you were pinching

Thread the string through the hole of the newspaper and the hole your heart message – tie it off

 

 

2012: Heart Crayons

What you’ll need:

3 boxes of 64 qty crayons (makes approx. 25 hearts)

Pan with multiple heart shaped molds

Valentines cards

 

Directions:

Preheat oven 230 degrees

Eliminate the gray and brown crayons and only use a few black crayons

Break the crayons over a bowl

Place the broken crayons in the heart shaped molds

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 15 minutes

Remove pan and let cool, then place in freezer if you want to cool more quickly

Attach heart shaped crayon on to your Valentine’s card with tape
