Valentine’s Day M&M Gift in a Jar

How to Make an M&M Valentine’s Day Gift in a Jar:

These are cute little Valentine’s Day Candy Jars are fun to give, and SO fun to receive!

Sort Valentine’s Day M&M’s by Color

Layer in an 8 oz. Mason Jar, 1 color at a time

Cut a circle of pretty scrapbook paper to place on top of the silver lid

Affix lid wring

Tie a bow around lid ring with pretty ribbon, and you’re done!

Clarissa writes: “I made these for 8th grade teachers.”

Linda writes: “I did this last year with my grandson, who was 18 months old at the time. He loved putting the layers of candy into the jar. (I had one with a very wide mouth, so it was easier for him). And his mommy loved her Valentine surprise!”

Keesha writes: “If you’re really thrifty, buy the red and green M&Ms on clearance after Christmas, then sort out the red ones to use for V-day and the green ones for St. Patty’s (or just for eating as you make the V-day gifts!). If you want a mix of colors, layer them with an inexpensive second candy like conversation hearts.

Also, re-purposed jars work really well for this. We save our jelly jars all year long (they’re tall and narrow) because they look really cute filled with candy. You can decorate them just like canning jars, except you need to glue the scrapbook paper to the lid or paint it.”

Valentines Day Kisses in a Jar

How to Make a Hugs and Kisses Gift in a Jar:

Here’s a CUTE way to give your honey some kisses for when you’re not around!

Simply fill a jar with Hershey’s Kisses and/or Hugs, then decorate the lid!

For the lid, cut a circle of scrapbook paper and attach to the lid with double stick tape

Then tie a ribbon around the lid.

Optional: Affix a tag that says ‘Hugs & Kisses’ or ‘Kisses for When I’m Not Around’

One reader writes: “This is really a sweet Valentine gift to give away and to receive indeed! It’s also perfect for Mother’s day or even birthdays!”

Kim writes: “We put kisses in a jar for grandparents and added a tag with a photo of the kids kissing the jar and a note that stated: “We bottled all our kisses up and sent them straight to you.” 🙂

French Vanilla Cocoa Mix in a Jar

Kate writes: “It’s still cold outside. Make a homemade mix of hot chocolate and decorate the jar with hearts.”

Heart Handprint Craft for Kids

Heart Handprint Instructions:

My little man made this for me years ago, and it’s still such a sweet and treasured gift!

Here’s how you can make one, too…

Step 1: Apply red paint to the palm and fingers of your child’s RIGHT hand

Step 2: Carefully place your child’s hand straight down on white cardstock

Step 3: Apply red paint to the palm and fingers of your child’s LEFT hand

Step 4: Carefully place your child’s hand straight down on the opposite side of the paper, to form the shape of a heart {the thumbs will be touching}.

Optional: after paint has dried, you can write ‘Hands That Touch the Heart’ above the sweet heart handprint.

DIY Valentine’s Day Hair Clips

Sweet Felt Hearts Craft

This Sweet Felt Hearts Craft is the perfect little Valentine’s DIY for a garland, games, or gifts! Plus, you won’t believe how easy they are to make!

This fun idea comes from frugal friend Britni… enjoy!

If you’re looking for a special gift for your little Valentines this year, look no further!

I sewed up this Sweet Felt Hearts Craft for my little one this Valentine’s Day and they are so quick and easy to make!

I think these would also be fun for older kids if you made enough for a game of tic-tac-toe! You could put some taped lines on the table or floor and let them have at it!

You could also try filling them with beans or rice too.

Or… consider making them into an adorable garland!

Here’s what you’ll need to get started…

Supplies needed:

Before you begin, you’ll want to gather up the following supplies…

Felt
Sewing machine and/or needle and thread
Fiberfill stuffing
Scissors
Pinking shears {optional}
Fabric marker
Heart template {I used a cookie cutter}

How to Make Felt Hearts:

Cut two squares of felt large enough to fit your heart shape. Trace a heart onto one square. Sandwich the squares together and cut your heart-shape out.

You now have enough hearts to make one felt heart! Now repeat. Until you have the total number of hearts you want.

Place two hearts together {right-sides-out} and sew around the inside of the heart, leaving a big enough hole to push stuffing through.

I aimed to leave about an inch open, but most of the time it was probably closer to a 1/2”. Also leave a big enough seam allowance to trim the edges later. At least a 1/4”.

3. Stuff your heart with fiberfill. The less you fill it, the easier it is to sew shut!

4. Sew the opening closed. I’m not great with the hand sewing, so I used my sewing machine.

5. Trim the outside edges with pinking shears.

And done!

This is such a cute gift for the little ones! I hope you enjoy making these and love the printable too!

Thanks again to frugal friend Britni for sharing this fun project!

Blow Me a Kiss Valentines

Valentine’s Day Tootsie Pop Flowers

Kathy writes: “I made these for my daughters to bring to school. I like them better than cards, and they’re simple to make!”

How to Make Tootsie Pop Flowers:

Cut out uniform size heart shapes from foam sheets
Use a hole puncher to make a hole near the bottom of each heart
Stick the lollipop through
Print or write a message on green paper, and fasten around the lollipop stick… to look like a leaf!
One fun message idea Kathy used was… ‘If friends were flowers, I’d pick you!’

Julie writes: “My daughter and I made these last year for her preschool class. We put them in a planter so they looked like a bouquet of flowers. Really cute and easy!”

Free Printable Valentine’s Day Fan{tache}tic Cards

For Valentine’s day this year, make these adorable and Free Valentine’s Day Printable Cards!

This fun idea comes from frugal friends Jenny & Jess!

I thought it would be fun to create a unique card for you to print yourself, these Free Valentine’s Day Printable Cards.

I don’t know what it is about all the silly mustaches lately, but they do make me smile. 🙂

Attach a sucker or other piece of candy under the mustache. If you wanna get crazy you could cut out the mustache, attach it to the leftover sucker stick (we cut the candy part off) and use it as a mustache prop!

Click on the picture below to download and print. For best results print on a quality matte paper using an ink jet printer.

I hope you have a FAN{TACHE}TIC day!
