This is my son’s last school Valentine’s party. {Insert my tears here…} He will enter the grown up world of middle school next year, so I wanted to send him off with some really cute personalized Valentines. I must thank my wonderful husband for his fabulous photography work…
First, we did a photo shoot with my adorable little boy, and chose the best picture. You will need plenty of room to add words and for the candy flower.
Next, add a Valentine’s message. I used PicMonkey.com, but there are a variety of software packages that would accomplish this as well.
There are a million ways you could create the flowers. I bought a heart flower shape from the Silhouette store for under $1 and cut it out on my Silhouette Cameo machine.
Using an X-Acto knife, cut a space large enough for the individually wrapped Twizzler to slide into along the line of the hand.
Insert the Twizzler and top it off with the flower. I taped the Twizzler to the back of the photo to keep it attached.
My son loved his Valentines! I, of course, made myself one to sit on my desk, so I could see that precious little smiling face all day…

Thanks, Roaen! Let me know how they turn out if you make some :).

Thanks, Alexis! I love the blow pop and lollipop Valentines! That’s where I got the idea for these :).

I was trying to think of something a little different :). Thanks for the party and visit, Chrissy!

Thank you, Sandy! I smile every time I look at this picture sitting beside me on my “desk”- which is really the table beside my couch :). Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your family!
