DIY Valentine Series – You’re Just WRITE for Me ROLO Pencil Valentine
Pin to Pinterest

A pen and paper for your classmates or anyone else you want to give a fun and unique Valentine to. I have created a simple writing paper printable for your child to personalize for their own special Valentine’s to tell their classmates Valentine, You’re Just “Write” For Me! Made of two candy favorites, this makes for a yummy February 14 treat, and its almost too cute to eat! I used card stock and the most difficult part was wrapping the pencil with stiff paper, for small hands I would recommend using thin paper to make it a bit easier but I do love the look of the cardstock.

Supplies

just-write-for-me-valentine-rolo-tutorial-frugal-coupon-livingPin to Pinterest

Directions:

  1. Cut a piece of yellow paper to 4 ½ “ 4” squares.
  2. Cut pink paper into 3/4”x 3 ½ “ strips.
  3. Wrap yellow paper around roll of candy, and secure with clear tape on the seam from top to bottom to create pencil.
  4. Wrap pink paper around top and secure with clear tape, matching up seams to make the eraser.
  5. Halfway over yellow and halfway over the pink press silver tape ( I found mine at Dollar Tree) If you can’t locate silver tape use a small strip of aluminum foil about ¼ “ x 3 ½ “, fasten down, this makes the metal band.
  6. For the pencil point- Roll a piece of tape and place on end of roll of candy, or you can add a small dab of glue. Remove tag from Hershey Kiss and press onto rolled tape or glue.
  7. Print tag, have your child sign their name, punch a hole in corner, attach to pencil with a piece of curling ribbon about 6-8 “ long, run scissors over ribbon ends to curl.

DIY Valentine Series – Valentine’s Day Scratch-Off Tickets
Pin to Pinterest

In honor of Valentine’s Day I have created a printable for you and put together a quick and simple tutorial to surprise your sweetie or the kids with. These are fun homemade scratch off tickets that can be personalized for anyone, that makes them super fun and this one is for all ages. But I am throwing some ideas especially for the grown ups out there to enjoy. I don’ t think homemade Valentine’s have to be for kids only. For an adult you could write special messages – private messages, IOU’s for special treats or activities, or a promise of a date night. For kids you can fill theirs up with the a promise of a fun activity, 15 extra minutes to stay up, extra dessert, ice cream after school , or even just a simple I love you. Valentine’s and messages from the heart can mean so much , especially when they are made by your own hand. Print off a sheet of these and give it a try.

Supplies

  • Scratch-Off Printable
  • white card stock
  • acrylic paint
  • dish soap
  • white crayon
  • small paintbrush
  • ink pen
  • scissors or paper cutter
  • optional – glitter

scratch-off-step-by-step-tutorial-valentine-frugal-coupon-livingPin it to Pinterest

Directions

  1. Print Scratch-Off Card onto cardstock
  2. Use a pen to write a message on each heart- be creative!
  3. Color heart over completely with a thick coat of white crayon.
  4. Blow off excess crayon dust for a smooth surface.
  5. In a small bowl combine 1 part dish soap to 2 parts paint, stir well- if you are only making 1 or 2 then a couple teaspoons total is plenty of paint mixture.
  6. Paint over heart/white crayon completely with a thick coat of your mixture.
  7. If desired sprinkle paint with glitter while still wet.
  8. Allow to dry well.
  9. Brush off excess glitter.
  10. Present to your valentine with a coin for scratching out message.
