Homemade Valentines

   Valentine's Day is coming up, and my crafty side is coming out. I thought it would be fun to make some homemade Valentines for Connor to hand out to his friends. Since he is obsessed with "Army guys" and all of his friends at school have a parent in the military, I figured it would be perfect to include them in his Valentines. So cue a little Pinterest searching, and I came up with these...

      The first thing I did was make the Valentines on the computer. I printed them out on thick paper and cut them just around the decorative border. I made two holes in each card and threaded bakers twine through it. Then came the annoying part: connecting 17 army guys to each of their parachutes. I was going to leave them just as they came, but Aaron convinced me to connect them for the kids. They better appreciate it because it took FOREVER.  

The finished product.
 {Connor liked naming the soldiers after his daddy and other people we know.}

     Because the kids can't be the only ones to receive Valentines, I decided to make his teachers some too. They were much easier as you can see.

    I hope his friends and teachers like them as much as we do! 

XOXO.
