I love when talented crafters, artists, and baking bloggers put their fabulous creations out there for the rest of us to enjoy, at little or no cost. Next week, I’ll be sharing some ideas and printables for kids valentines, but today here are a few ideas that grown-ups will love too…
- Kathleen’s blog Twig and Thistle is one of my favorites! For Valentine’s she created theses adorbale apple pie boxes . You can print out the template, read how to put it together, and even get the apple pie recipe on her blog. She also created the graphic on the top right to make Valentine brownie bags. It’s been updated at her site with the 2010 year. This is a great one when you have to make something for multiple people in your life. Make a batch of brownies, print a bunch of these and voila – you saved a lot of time running around, a lot of money, plus you can eat any left-overs.
- For just a few dollars on Etsy, you can get printables and directions on how to make these festive paper fortune cookies. And they’re calorie-free!
- Ez over at Creature Comforts, another great blogger, regularly shares her creations with her readers. She made these Valentine tea bags (bottom right). You can print-out the template and read the tutorial on putting them together on her blog. Wouldn’t these be perfect for co-workers or girlfriends? She also has free printable Valentine candy bar wrappers. Buy your valentine his favorite candy bar, add a cute wrapper, and you’re done!
P.S. I just visited Twig & Thistle this morning. Go check out the new Valentine’s bag printable Kathleen posted, it’s beautiful!
Hope you’re inspired… I know I am!
