"Friend, you rock." A box of Valentine's Day conversation hearts disguised in cute paper has become a way cute idea for valentines. As kids get older the idea of giving out valentines starts to seem a little babyish for them. They need something cool and fun to give to their friends, so today's recipe is a Valentine's Day craft for the older ones in the family. My twin sister made these for her class at church and they turned out awesome. We have familyfun.go.com to thank for sharing this one! And they received the tip from cool mom Lisa in Grand Island, Nebraska. Go Lisa!Here's what you'll need (for each box):
- tape
- 2 (14-inch) pieces of string
- 2 mini peanut butter cups
- 1 (1 oz.) box of conversation hearts
- 2 (4-inch) circles of aluminum foil
- 4 x 7 inch strip of pink paper
- glue stick
- sheet of white printer paper or printable scroll wheel and play list
- Tape one end of each piece of string to a peanut butter cup. Tie one end of one of the strings to the other string (as shown above) to make the ear piece splitters. Then tape the loose end to the candy box.
- Take the circles of aluminum foil and wrap up each peanut butter cup.
- Wrap the pink piece of paper around the candy box and secure it with a glue stick.
- Cut paper shapes and write text for the scroll wheel and play list (or go here to download and print from the website - just scroll down to the bottom and you'll find everything!) Use a glue stick to attach them to the box. Write a valentine message on the back of the box.
