How To Make It:

s: Printables are located at the bottom of the

written instructions. There are six designs. Each

design has its own printable page of six message

hearts.

Download this PDF and print out desired designs

on cardstock.

To create a sawtooth border, use pinking shears

to cut out message hearts.

Tea Valentine (tea bags & boxes)

s:

1. Select a flavor of tea bags.

2. Attach the heart and tea bag together using a red piece of DMC floss. This will create

the tea bag valentine. Floss can be stapled or threaded through the heart and bag.

3. A box of tea can also be used. Tie a ribbon around the box in a bow. Hot glue the

message heart to the center of the bow.

Note: Play up a hidden message for a special valentine by using a passion fruit tea.

Donut Valentine (picks & kabobs)

s:

1. To make the donut valentine kabobs hot glue a bamboo skewer to the back of the

message hearts.

2. Insert donut holes on to the skewers. Cut the bottom point of the skewer off using a

pair of wire cutters. (see gray circle)

3. Insert the donut kabob into a cellophane bag. Gather the top of the bag around the

skewer under the bottom of the message heart. Secure bag closed with a festive red

ribbon. Decorate bag with red heart stickers.

To make the donut heart picks, simply

hot glue a toothpick (use plastic straws for

children) to the back of each message

heart. If desired cover toothpick with

a heart sticker. Arrange donuts in a

basket or large tray. Insert one

message heart in each donut. Note: The small heart printables are

available on the Who’s Your Valentine PDF.

Vegetarian Valentine (salad in a box)

s:

1. Decorate plasticware by hot gluing a gem heart on the end. Place a red heart sticker

on the (bottom edge center) of a paper napkin.

2. Make a favorite salad and place it in a white takeout food box.

3. Dressing can be added if serving immediately if not, place dressing in a separate

container.

4. Close container and hot glue message heart on the top. Serve with heart decorated

fork and napkin.

Honey Valentine (sweet treat)

s:

1. Select a favorite honey item. We used an Asian honey & loquat candy in a tin box.

Other items to consider are honey sticks or straws or a specialty jar of honey.

2. Wrap tulle or ribbon around the container. Hot glue and seal with a heart sticker to

hold the tulle in place on the bottom.

3. Tie a bow on the top of the container, tie a second bow on top of the first. This will

yield 4 bow loops. Cut the remaining ribbon ends even with the loops. Fluff and

arrange bow loops.

4. Attach the message heart in the center of the bow. We used an arrow clip from

Target. Decorate the box and bow with heart and or bee sticker.

For office use, we suggest making a few designs and placing them all

in one large basket. Position the basket in a social area and allow

co-workers to select the valentine of choice. This is a wonderful way

to celebrate Valentine’s Day without getting too personal.
