With the weekend coming up, I thought I would do a little search for fun treats and crafts to make before Valentine’s Day on Monday.
These are my favorite Espresso Cookies that I made for Valentine’s Day last year for my friends and family. Deliciously chocolatey, with a little coffee flavour.
I packaged them up in these fun (and easy to make) little fabric Valentine Treat Bags. A great reusable craft too because you can use them year after year.
I don’t have kids to worry about buying Valentine’s for sharing with classmates, but the second I saw these Tootsie Roll Valentines I was in love. How cute are these? This is a great Valentine project to do with kids – using photography, computer graphics and crafting – that are sure to delight the recipients.
Looking for a creative way to turn your pizza into something special? Using a small heart cookie cutter, cut pieces of pepperoni and place on top of a homemade or store bought pizza to make fun and adorable Valentine Pizza!
Why not take the two trends of red velvet and whoopie pies together and make fun and festive Red Velvet Whoopie Pies.
Having a tea party soon? Make these cute Tea Cup Cookies that have a slit on the side to let them gently rest on your tea cup!
Making a craft to use with kids doesn’t have to take much to be fun and can use simple scraps that you may have around the house. This Heart Tic Tac Toe game is made with a simple cardstock heart shape and uses stuffed felted hearts from felted scraps for the game pieces.
Just looking at these is making me crave delicious and chewy Cake Balls. Instead of spending money buying your sweetheart a Valentine’s Day treat, why not make them a sweet thing yourself! Or better yet, take the time over the weekend to make it together!
You can even package up your homemade treats in these cute Mini Valentine’s Day Gift Bags from Martha Stewart.
You could even fill up the bags with Chocolate Rolled Cookies. I love the polka dot ones 🙂
Looking for a sweet and sophisticated way to dress up your flowers? Make this bold, yet simple Candy and Tulip Bouquet using deep red tulips and little cinnamon hearts.
I’m a big fan of fun vintagey print templates, so when I saw this great Valentine Brownie Bag template I just had to share it. You could even change this around and make it work for packaging up treats for any party or holiday!
Hope that you find some time over the weekend to get creative and have some Valentine fun!
