Conversation Heart Valentine Holders
I don't know if it's all moms everywhere or just me, but I realized that I have had a cache of party hats somewhere in my house pretty much since my daughter was born... she's almost 12 now! On one hand I think it's kind of fun/funny that I am fully prepared for any spontaneous party emergencies (yes that can occasionally happen), but on the other hand, some of these hats have got to go!
These sweet conversation-heart valentines are fun and personal, and they let me reclaim some much needed space in my kitchen cabinets. What's not to love? Happy Valentine's Day, everyone:)
Step 2: Trace the shape of the hat on to a piece of scrap paper and cut out. (Pages from old magazine are great for this!)
When you're finished cutting open it up and it will look like this. This will serve as your template.
Step 5: Cut directly on the line and then snip off a tiny bit from the bottom point. This will make it more closely resemble the shape of a conversation heart.
Step 6: Now on to the messages! Type up a few typical conversation heart phrases and print them out. Then, cut around each messages.
Step 2: To seal, place some double stick tape around the top and press firmly.
*You may want to note that if your double stick tape is on the wimpy side, you can just as easily close this with a couple of staples.
If this sudden depletion of party supplies has you feeling a little unprepared, the tops that you cut off in step 5 can be saved and used as crowns. They're cute, but even better, they take up very little space:)
