This year I wanted to make both my son’s Valentine’s cards. Well my 7 yr old wanted the store bought cards (he takes the easy way out), so we got him some Lego Star Wars cards….I then of course tweaked it. I got a package of 100 small cellophane bags (in the cake decorating isle at Hobby Lobby for $1.99….oh and I used my 40% off coupon here!)….the Vday specific bags were so expensive and you only got 12-18 in them, I had to go another route. So we slipped the card in the bag with a few pieces of candy and put the stickers that came in the box on the back to close the bag. Voila–cheap, easy and he’s happy!
Since my 3 yr old is Autistic he doesn’t really grasp the idea of holiday’s yet. So he didn’t have the option of picking his Valentine’s cards out, lol! He’s into robot talk lately so I googled robot valentine’s and found this robot valentine. It looked so easy and I only had 3 to make so I couldn’t pass it up. I didn’t wrap my candy bar in scrapbook paper because with the valentine wrapping they came in was so cute!
I don’t have many craft tools because I usually can make do with what I have but I did buy a 1″ circle craft punch (it just made it easier…and I’ve been wanting it for a while–40% off at HL this week too!). So I went to work. I’m TOTALLY in love with these Valentine’s! Three were enough for me so I’m definitely happy I didn’t have more to do.
