Some Valentine’s Inspiration

It's time to start thinking of ways to celebrate the day — I say, “go handmade”!

Katie will be making candy holders like these to hand out in class. You can get 4 holders from one sheet of 12×12 patterned paper, a great way to use unwanted or duplicate sheets of paper. Then punch some accents from scraps, like the hearts and stars I added to these candy holders. You can use the Bind It All to close them or staples and glue. Want more info? Check out the step by step tutorial offered in my etsy shop: Candy Holder Tutorial.
