Feb 2nd Pass Along Tuesday

Here it is my first Pass Along Tuesday, are you as ready as I am? Well hold on tight and enjoy all the cool ideas! I once heard that a good cook is not someone that follows the recipe exactly but a good cook is someone that puts their own spin on it. So while checking out these ideas you can do them exact or you can up your own spin on them too.

Homemade Valentine's
Since I have 2 girls that love to be crafty, this is an easy way for them to express their creativity.

Check out these cute pencil Valentines. Since felt is all the rage right now, these would be great to handout to classmates and very easy for your little ones to put together.
You can checkout this Valentine and some other easy Valentine's that she has also come up with Here.

This is one of those Valentine ideas that I put my own spin on. I wanted something easy for my girls to put together for their hand out Valentine's. All you do is print out the cool candy wrappers on address labels and have your circuit cut out the hearts and then put your little ones to work. You can get the original idea and link to the candy wrappers Here.

These are the cutest little butterflies I've ever seen. At Skip To My Lou she makes it so easy to put these Valentine's together. Just click on the link and print the butterflies out, it even has the words printed right on it. Just make the slits for the sucker, decorate and put the sucker in. You can check it out Here .

Skip To My Lou has also put this cute flowers together and it is just as easy as the butterfly to do. My oldest daughter made these for her class last year and they were a big hit. Get the flower link Here.
(Here is our version of the Flower Valentine.)

These are quick and easy Valentine's for all ages. Just print, cut, and add names and voila you have a Valentine's Day card! You can get this idea Here.

School Valentine Card Holders

This is my daughters card holder from last year. Very fast and easy to construct, some years that is what you are looking for. We found a fun Valentine pattern of wrapping paper and used a old shoe box and just wrapped it like a gift.

This year my oldest wanted to do something different to hold her Valentine's, so I thought it would be just as easy to decorate a paint tin as it would be a box. All you need is an unused paint can (which can be found in any craft or scrapbook store), 2 pieces of 12X12 coordinating scrapbook paper, some adhesive, and some fun ribbon. I took my daughter down to the store, had her pick out the paper and ribbon she wanted to use and she decorated her awesome looking can.


Miscellaneous Valentine's Ideas

Don't you just love this beautiful heart garland, it would be the perfect decoration to any Valentine's Day party. Like I said, felt is all the rage this year so just get on the band wagon and put a sting of hearts together. You can get the the instructions Here.

Have you ever seen a bag this cute before. I just love that you buy white 5X8 paper bags and print this color design right out on the bag with any bubble jet printer. Then fill it with a yummy treat for someone special. Check this great idea out Here.

I sure hope you liked the different ideas posted here today and keep checking back every Tuesday to find something new!
