{MIY} MAKE-IT-YOURSELF MONDAY! Valentine Goody Bags!

 

Valentine's Day is around the corner and every little one is looking forward to spreading their love of candy.  Here's a wonderful, inexpensive way to create a cute Valentine goody bag with your little one at home! 

What you'll need:

Yarn

ModPodge

Wax Paper

Small Paper Bags

Scrapbook Paper

Pipe Cleaners

Googly Eyes

First, cut the yarn one yard long for each heart you're going to make.

Get your wax paper out and draw hearts about 3 inches big.

Then mix 1 part water with 3 parts ModPodge in a bowl to create your glue.

(I love her little feet!)

(I love the cute faces she makes!)

Take a strand of yarn and soak it in the glue mixture.  Squeeze some of the excess glue from the yarn.

Put the yarn together squiggly like on the hearts you drew.  I outlined each heart with the yarn first then squiggle the yarn back and forth.  Then press the yarn down with your fingers to flatten the strands so they dry together better.  Let them dry overnight.

Once they're dry, peel them off of the wax paper.  Now you have the "body" of your goody bag!

Next get your scrap paper and cut small hearts.  You're going to use these to create wings.

Glue the hearts to the sides of the bags for the wings.

Then glue on the yarn hearts you made the night before.

Next get your pipe cleaners and clip them small enough to create antenna's and a smile :O)

Next glue on some googly eyes and see your little goody bag come to life!

Now for the fun  part, fill you bag with some sweet treats!  :O)

Nickelbug and I had so much fun making these together!!  :O)  I hope  you do too!

Sending you lots of Light and Laghter!
