Hey Valentine – You’re my main squeeze!

Looking for a fun and creative craft for the kids? This is an adorable and healthy treat using the yummy GoGo Squeez Applesauce. They could make a fun weekend activity for your child and a unique valentine card for their classmates. We used some craft supplies we already had on hand in our craft kit, but most of the supplies are not very much making a frugal friendly expense for your Valentines. Awesomesauce!

Supplies:

Directions:

Cut a 4 x 9” piece of card stock, wrap it around a GoGo Squeez and secure in the back with hot glue.
Glue a full red pipe cleaner horizontally to the back center of the paper and wrap the sides of the pipe cleaner around to the front for arms.
Cut a pipe cleaner into 1/4” and glue two under the bottom paper wrap for legs.
Glue two googly eyes to the top front of the card stock and draw a smile underneath.
On the bottom of the card stock wrap, write “ Valentine, you’re my main squeeze”

Enjoy these Valentine’s Day Decor for your home with a focus on fourteen inspiring Valentine Mantel Ideas – Happy Valentine’s Day!

14 Inspiring Valentine Mantel Ideas

Have you cleaned up your Christmas decorations? Before I had kids, and maybe when I only had one, my Christmas decorations were always put away by the New Year. Every year and with each additional child, the date became later and later. This year, with the expected delivery of the twins, we decided to go very slim on decorations. I just couldn’t handle the babies coming and getting everything put away.

Anyways, moving on from the holidays of last year and onto the first holiday of the new year – Valentines Day! Last year you guys loved our Valentine Home Decor Ideas. This year we wanted to go a step further with a focus – Valentine Mantel Ideas. I think if you are going to decorate any piece of your home, at least get the mantel. If you can’t get to anything else in the home for that season, no big deal. The mantel is the staple of most homes and having it decorated allows you to feel as if you didn’t slack. If you are doing more than just the mantel, take a look at our Valentine Home Decor Ideas for insight.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

How much does this Valentine’s Day Mantel Pop? This blogger used everything in her home, bought nothing (and with one hand – read her blog to see how!) She inspires me to start looking around my own home! | Serendipity Refined

Valentine’s Day is all about love and how about this bible verse form 1 Corinthians 13? That can easily be made with a chalkboard in your home. I love the red on this chalkboard – perfect for Christmas and then for Valentine’s Day! | Positively Splendid

I get you have a boa laying around the house! If you do, this would be an easy way to decorate a Valentine’s Day Fireplace! We think jars of candy hearts would be a sweet touch. | Decor Chick
