Going Green Valentine Holders

I was encouraged by Destri over at the Mother Huddle to do a Valentine version of these “Going Green Gift Card Holders.” I thought it was a great idea and eventually got around to it!

*I made a homemade template. I hope the measurements are helpful.

*Trace the template onto the inside of a grocery sack.

*Fold in all 4 sides.

*Punch holes with hole punch.

*Fill it with a lil’ somethin’ somethin’

*Add ribbon and decorate however you desire.

{could make holes bigger and use a pixie stix treat}

A little valentine love note can be placed inside, or a gift card -I personally would take coffee shop gift card over fresh flowers, any day! I plan on making some for my kids and husband. I’ll let you in on a little secret…ready?

I didn’t make my girls classroom valentines homemade…shhh!

I by no means have enough patience to make 3 classrooms, 21ish kids each, all homemade valentines. I’ve seen some of you do it, and I am amazed, but it’s not for me. I got our classroom valentines from Target on special 2/1! Ya know, the boxed ones that come with a treat and envelope? Easy.Yay.

I DO have enough time and patience to make them for my girls and husband.

My kids will have little love notes and candy on theirs, my husband…hmmm…can you handle another secret? Like, a Victoria’s Secret? shhh…

His will contain a gift card to Victoria’s Secret, for me to use, of course! Quite brilliant in my book. A gift for him that allows me to go out and shop (alone without the kids, yippee!) and in the end make us both happy..I hope!:) (my parents and grandparents are all closing their eyes and shaking their heads right now..hee hee)

Gotta Love Valentines Day!

These are cute little envelopes! They would make great wedding favors as well.
