Happy Mardi Gras everyone!! :) Even though I live miles away from my native country of Brazil, we celebrated CARNAVAL (that's what it's called in Brazil) this past weekend with a lot of confetti, samba, Caipirinha, barbecue and Brazilian sweets.
Only 2 says to go, but these super sweet and totally adorable party favor ideas or gifts, are very quick to put together. Just grab some candy tubes or boxes + your Valentine's fave candies or Hershey's Kisses + cute party printables , and you're off! ;)
Valentine's Crafts for Kids | DIY Marshmallow Necklace
Diamonds, move over! Marshmallows are the new girl's best friend ! :) We all know and love gumball necklaces, right? But I'm a little bit of a rebel, so decided to use marshmallows instead - OK, not much of a rebellion going on, but they are just as cute and as tasty. Not to mention easy to make! And of course you can use or add other candies too, and start a little rebellion all of you own! Check out the steps below...
DIY and Sparkly Heart Soap Handmade Gift
My husband is not a sweet kinda guy. I'm mean, he's very sweet as a husband, he just doesn't like eating sweet things. So my baking cookies or cakes on Valentine's Day is wasted on him. This is why handmade, cute, scented, sparkly, heart-shaped LOVE soap is the perfect DIY gift for him! But if the words handmade soap sound scary, then fear not - I'm using 'Melt and Pour' Soap base, so it's super quick and easy! ;)
This one is ideal for the boys and for classroom Valentine's - Simply print, cut and staple to a bag of cute leaping frogs, for a non-candy Valentine's Gift! Keep reading to download your FREE printables.
