Happy Handmade Valentine’s Day

This weekend I was laughing with my sister about how holidays and kids’ parties will never be simple again thanks to the internet, more specifically Pinterest. Valentine’s Day is no exception. I will say that none of the things that I did are difficult (nor are they my ideas so follow the links for the tutorials). They just require a little more time than grabbing a set of boxed valentines.

I used this to make these treats for the kids in Ramona’s class. I bought regular wedding bubbles at the Dollar Tree and put conversation heart stickers from Target to jazz them up a bit. Rachel put the printable on her site, but Nick added “love, Ramona” in photoshop.

I made some Vanilla Brown Sugar Body Scrub for Ramona’s teachers. Nick made the cute labels in illustrator “compliments of Ramona” in the same style as the kisses bags.

I sewed some cardstock to make cards for Ramona’s teachers. I just used fabric scraps to make the hearts. And there you have it all our handmade goodness of Valentines.

Of course our Valentines wasn’t completely handmade. We did buy Ramona a Fisher Price Record Player. We didn’t think we could handmake that, so we sprung for the store bought one. Hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
