Supplies
Directions
Sweetheart Candy Holders
It only takes a few simple supplies and a creative mindset to make these cute candy holders. 
  • Choose a few small candies to include in your valentines. 
  • The "pocket" and "card" valentine types will use two heart accents each. 
  • There are lots of unique ways to make these:
    • Place heart accents back-to-back and glue one edge together to make a mini-card ready for a special message.
    • Carefully glue the front of one heart to the back of another (gluing only along the outside edges). Allow to dry. Use a craft knife to cut a slit in the top heart creating a pocket to fit a small candy or little handwritten note (see gold heart in photo).
    • Write to your valentine on an accent and tie it to a small piece of their favorite candy using a brightly colored ribbon. Decorate the front with stickers. 
    • Write a heartfelt message on the back of one accent. Decorate the front with puffy glitter paint, stickers, or other fun elements. Allow to dry. Use double-stick tape to attach a candy heart to the center.
  • If you're creating these in your classroom, hand out the supplies and watch students' creative ideas come to life!

Pop-up Valentine Cards

Send messages that POP with 3-D valentine cards!
  • Use two Embossed Signs accents of your choice. 
  • Fold one accent in half horizontally and cut two small parallel slits across the fold, about 1 inch apart. 
  • Push the cut area inward toward the middle (colored side) of the card and crease. Glue a heart accent to the front of this fold. Allow to dry.
  • Glue or tape a second Embossed Signs accent to the back (white side) to hide the "pop-out" slit you made earlier and give the front of the card a finished look. 
  • Decorate your card inside and out with stickers, glitter, and heart cutouts. Write "Happy Valentine's Day" or another thoughtful message on your card. 

      Quick & Easy Student Valentine Cards

      Make these take-home valentines during your classroom Valentine's Day party. 
      • Use two Embossed Signs accents of your choice for each card.
      • Students put the accents together with the white sides facing in and tape along one edge, creating a "hinge." Feel free to use clear tape or a fun washi tape too!
      • Decorate the front of the card with heart-shaped accents, stickers, and more. The inside of the card will be white and ready for student poems, drawings, and heartful messages.
