How cute are these candy holders?? What a great project for you and your kids!


Follow these instructions to print and assemble valentines that you can fill with candy.Download and print the pdf pattern for the cutest valentines ever.

Download the printable here. There are four different designs on one sheet. Best printed on 8.5 x 11 matte photo or heavy cardstock paper. Below's a little tut just in case.

Candy Valentines 1
Cut the valentines out. If it's printed on matte photo or heavy cardstock paper, lightly score the lines with an exacto knife. This makes it easier to fold.
Candy Valentines 2
Fold the tab and the half line. Glue the tab. Press firmly and wait for it to completely dry.
Candy Valentines 3
Squeeze the valentine open. Fold down the flaps on one end. It should fold down easily, especially if you scored it. If you need to you can glue or tape this end so whatever you put in it doesn't fall out.
Candy Valentines 4
Fill the valentine with your favorite Valentine's day candy. Fold down the flaps to enclose.

Fave Crafts is one of my favorite sites for finding great craft ideas to do with kids!
