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!

So what does the back have on it? If you fold it in half, I don’t understand how the picture doesn’t get cut in half…am I dumb??
I realized this is an older post, and I love the idea! Do you have any suggestions on printing a smaller photo without it getting too pixelated or blurry?
If it’s a high resolution photo, then you shouldn’t have any issues printing small. And if you print a 4×6, you should be totally fine!
