Now my little girl is in kindergarten and I was giddy when I read the Valentine's Day party notice. Each child has to make a mailbox and bring in Valentine's for the class. I knew exactly what I wanted to make with Elizabeth thanks to Family Fun Magazine.
The process was relatively simple once I finished editing the picture. She held a tube of silver wrapping paper which I turned into a white stick using Pixelmator (Mac App). I then ordered copies of the pictures from Shutterfly using a free prints coupon. Heart lollipops were from Target. Fortunately I grabbed two bags because several were broken in the first bag. I then made a slit in the picture near the end of the "stick" and slid the lollipop through. Elizabeth then taped all of the lollipops on the back of the picture, and we glued a 4x6 index card on the back for a little extra stability. Total cost of the project was less than $8 thanks to the free prints from Shutterfly!
Elizabeth is so proud of her Valentine's and cannot wait for Valentine's Day!
I forgot to take a picture of her mailbox before she took it to school yesterday but it was totally made by her and adorable.
Any fun Valentines in the works?
Totally cute! And so great that it was something she could help with so much!

ReplyDeletewe made the super hero lollipop ones and the butterly lollipops.... but i just saw carmel's star wars origami ones and we are going to have to do that next year!!!
Amazing. And even more amazing is that you've shown me that someday I'll be able to do stuff like this again too!
ReplyDeleteThey are fabulous, I made some like this last year, can't remember where I spotted them, and I went ahead and did them again this year. I think we even used the same font! Happy Valentines day!
