How to Make Treat Bag Toppers for Valentine's Day

Hi, everyone!!!

Today we are going to make some treat bag toppers. For Valentine's Day I think it is fun to create our own Valentine's.
This is a fantastic idea as a Valentine's Day present and a very easy craft to make, in which our little ones can help and have fun at the same time.

For this craft we will need the following.

Materials:

• Glue 
• Scissors
• Cardboard (pink & red)
• Pencil
• Hot glue gun
• Stickers
• Treats for bags
• Baggies
• Printed tags onto white paper (example: "Thanks for be my friend")

How to do it:

• Let's first draw and cut out a rectangle on the pink cardboard (which has the same width as the plastic bag, and twice the height we want to give to the bag topper)
• Now, fold bag toppers in half.
• We also print and cut out the phrase we chose to thank the person we're going to give the treat bag.

• Now, we'll staple the bag topper on the plastic bag that is already filled with your favorite candy.
• The next step is to glue the white paper (with the printed phrase) on the bag topper.  (as shown in the picture).

• Finally, we'll decorate the bag topper with stickers or any detail that we want.
• If you want to achieve a 3D effect, glue a little piece of foam before placing the stickers to emphasize every detail.

And presto!!! We have a beautiful and sweet detail to sweeten the day to any friend or classmate.

Note: If you don't have a printer at hand, don't worry! You can decorate these bag toppers with only the stickers and put your name on the back and to whom it is addressed. (as I show you in the picture).

I send sweet kisses!

How to Make Valentine's Cards

Hello everyone!

Soon it will be February and therefore Valentine's Day.
And a good option is to give away little cards as a sign of our love for others.
This time we will make our own cards in which can participate our little ones.

For this activity we will need the following:

Materials:

• Construction paper (red & pink)
• White paper (bond)
• Stickers (or any embellishment we have at home)
• Hot glue gun
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Glue or glue stick
• Scissors

How to do it:

• First thing we need to do is print any image we like on bond paper. (I printed the phrase "Happy Valentine's Day", but can be whatever you like it more).

• We will draw and cut a rectangle on the construction paper (pink or red)  with a card measures. (I cut different sizes of cards. 4 x 6, 3 x 5, & 3 x 3).But this depends on the size you want your cards to be. 
• You're going to cut the phrases you printed on the bond paper, (as shown in the picture).

• Now we will fold in half the construction paper to make our Valentine's card.
• Then, we'll glue the white paper (with the printed phrase) on our card.

• Then we'll start decorating our card with stickers or any paper embellishment that we find at home. I used a paper trim that I had bought last year at the dollar store.

•  For the stickers to have a 3D effect, you can put a little piece of foamy before you attach the sticker to the card.

• And presto! When you finish adding all the details you want, you'll have a beautiful Valentine's card!

• Here I leave other cards that my little daughter and I made, to her classmates and the teacher. 
• And remember!!! The imagination is endless; you just have to dare to create a new project!!!

Happy Valentine's Day in company of your loved ones!

Kisses and more kisses from Julieta!!!

How to make a beautiful bee with EVA foam

Hi, everyone!!!

Beautiful are the days where spring blooms and fields are full of flowers, and how could we forget the best friends of flowers: the cute little bees.

• Pencil
• Permanent marker (black)
• Fine-tipped paintbrush
• Acrylic paint (white)

How to do it:

• Let us first trace and cut the bee of our choice in the white paper. So we get our templates.

• After this you need to trace and cut out the bee templates in the corresponding EVA foam color, as shown in the picture. Remember to cut 2 eyes and the mouth of the bee. 

• Make the antennas with the 2 stripes of chenille, to achieve this you only need to screw the 2 stripes of chenille and then make the shape of each antenna with your fingers.
