Free Valentine Templates for Kids [DIY Valentines]

Hey friends!  I’m over on Modern Parents Messy Kids today posting about how to make candy bags with custom photo toppers.  This year, I wanted to make a few templates so those of you that have photoshop could join in on the fun!  I made 4 templates for boys and girls and the link to download is over on my Facebook Fan Page.  Kristin Eldridge Photography  Haven’t seen my fan page yet?  I’m finally jumping on the bandwagon and branching away from my regular facebook page.  I have already been sharing sneak peeks, new locations, promotions and plan to do giveaways like this one!  So, ‘like’ me and join the fun!

DIY Valentine [Personal Musings]

I’m a little behind the eight ball on this one, but you know what, sometimes that’s just what happens!  I wanted to share my kids’ valentines for school…we had fun making them and they turned out cute!

First I designed the image in photoshop using a 4×5 template.  Then I had them printed as 4×5 prints…you can do 4×6 and either make them taller or cut off the extra inch.  Once I got all my prints back, I had the kids fold them in the middle.

Then we used some plastic bags from Michael’s and filled them with assorted sweets.  I decided to cut the top part of my bags off since we weren’t filling them with a huge amount of candy.  There are so many sizes of bags to choose from.  I chose a bag that was 4″ wide so we could use it with a 4×5 or 4×6 print.

Lastly, we stapled the print on either side.  It was a snap to put together and the kids loved giving out their personalized valentines to friends and grandparents!

Have a great Valentine’s Day!
