Be My Valentine!

January 21, 2010 by 14 Comments

matchbox Just a few more weeks until Valentine’s Day! I found these adorable ideas that are so easy to do. I loooooove the project above using matchboxes, small treats, and pretty paper & ribbon. I found it on Inchmark, where you can get all the information. These are so great becouse 1) they look CUTE! 2)they are easy to do, & affordable 3)you can customize them for ANY occasion. Did I happen to mention that I looooooove this project?!

I found this next trio of ideas here. There were several Valentine ideas but these were my favorites. Flowers surrounded by red candies (insert smaller vase of flowers into larger vase & fill the space between with candies); Cupcake wrapper filled with candies (some wrappers don’t have a bottom so you may have to insert a cupcake liner to hold the candies); and glass vases filled with candies and a photo of your true love. So easy to pull off!

    I love the flowers with the candy in the vase, I am definitely doing that…. I did something similar with cranberries for Christmas. Looks beautiful and the cranberries actually made the flowers stay alive for a really long time- maybe that's the trick ;)
