Crafting Valentine Treats

With Valentine's Day coming next week, I though it would be fun to create a few treat holders to hold some sweet treats. The Glitz Designs Love You Madly line was a perfect starting place for the treat holders. I love the pink and grey color combo of this line! I want to share two different treat holder designs that are quick and fun.

 First up is the Fortune Teller Treat Holder:

Did you make these little fortune tellers as a kid? They are really easy and when flipped upside down, they make four little pockets that perfectly hold small treats. If you need to brush up on making fortune tellers, this link will help you!

Once you've made the forutne teller (I recommend starting with either a 6" or 8" square), then you poke a hole in the center and stick a straw or stick through the hole.

I embellished the top of each straw. That's it! I think these would make really cute place settings. The paper garlands were my favorite accent on these little treat holders.

I'd like to share one more quick treat holder with you today. I'm thinking this would be perfect for dressing up a Valentine treat in a lunch box or making a Valentine a little more special for a friend.

1. Start off with a square piece of paper. I used an 8" square paper.

2. Fold the paper in half diagonally so that you have a triangle.

3. Fold the right bottom corner of the triangle over to the left side.

4. Then fold the bottom left corner over.

5. Fold the top layer of the top point down. 

6. Add some adhesive to make sure the little pocket will stay together. Then embellish.

7. Finish off the treat pocket with something sweet!

Hope you enjoy these ideas! Do you like to do Valentine crafting? Do you plan on making some Valentines?

Pinterest Group: Framed Heart Roses

Last week, I got together with a group of friends for our monthly Pinterest group. Actually it has been held much less than monthly lately, but I think we are getting back onto schedule now that the holiday season is behind us.

Our Pinterest group gets together to create a craft inspired by something found on Pinterest and we each bring something to eat (can be inspired by Pinterest too!)

This is where we found our project >>> Framed Heart

Here's a look at my finished project.

Love this project because it was practically free. The frame was collecting dust in a closet and burlap and felt are really inexpensive.

The project is came together pretty fast. The hardest part was figuring out the right arrangement of flowers so that they resembled a heart.

To make the flowers, we just cut freehand circles out of felt and then cut the circle into a spiral. Then starting at the middle of the circle, the felt is spiraled until it resembled a flower.

Flowers were hot glued to the burlap and that was it!

I'm adding this little frame to our buffet and hope to add a few other touches soon.

Thanks for stopping by today!

How cool are these paper straws? I think they would be a perfect addition to any Valentine party and could make an after school drink extra special.
