Valentine Treats!

It's that time of year! Everything is pink or red and covered in HEARTS! I like Valentine's Day, more than some other holidays. I have been busy creating in my new studio and have listed several Valentine items on Ebay. I have several more so check back soon!
Here are my Ghirardelli Chocolate Square Valentine Wallets. SO CUTE!


These are really cute little Valentine Purses which hold Hershey's Nuggets! How Fun! I think these would make great party favors especially for a "Tea Party"!

These are great little boxes made from thick cardstock and filled with Hershey's Nuggets! The nuggets can be covered to match/coordinate or not, they are still TOO CUTE!


See, I have been busy! =) I also have several sets of decorated York Peppermint Patties I just haven't completed the packaging for those yet! They will be ready before the weekend!

Empty Prima or Frappacino Bottles

Do you have empty glass Prima flower bottles? What about those cute little Frappacino bottles? It is a shame to just toss them out even if you recycle. Why not turn them into super cute, super easy treat jars? Valentine's Day is coming and these would make great teacher, co-worker, troop leader gifts! Just use scraps and empty bottles then fill them with Hershey Kisses! In the example I used leftover Valentine paper, glitter paper, Valentine ribbon, and a couple of Prima Flowers!

First, gather your supplies and some coordinating craft paint. I like to paint my lids but if you like them silver then you can bypass this step. I used irridescent glitter on the Valentine bottle lid to add some shimmer!




Next, measure your bottle and cut a strip of patterned paper to fit. You can make this piece as wide as you like, personally I like to view the contents of the jar. Next, cut a label from a solid or a coordinating paper. On the example I machine stitched around the label to add interest. Don't need to do that though. Cut out your letters, this one reads "Kisses" and tie on a ribbon. I cut out a small tag for the To: From: and I added 2 Flowers. Ta Da! See, too easy. Fill the treat jar with kisses or other goodies and you are good to go!







You can't forget the Puppies!! I created this treat jar to hold Small Milkbone Dog Bones. Again, choose your papers, measure, cut and adhere! Voila! Everyone will LOVE their Treat Jars and you've recycled a cute little glass bottle! Have Fun!
