How to Make Homemade Valentine Treat Bags

Grab a few supplies and make either my boy or girl version — guitars or hearts — of these handmade Valentine’s Day treat bags. I hope you will stick around and enjoy quick and easy Valentine’s Day crafts all week right here at the Cottage!

Make a Guitar Valentine’s Day Treat Bag

For the boys treat bags, the felt guitar was my main element. I added “ROCK ON VALENTINE!” printed on card stock. I used my Sizzix to cut both the printed white card stock and another circle from black card stock. Use any method of paper cutting you have available to get your elements. You can use scissors or a paper cutter to make a square or rectangular element instead of a circle if desired.

I made all of my elements first and set up a mini assembly line to put together our bags. The first version was not boyish enough for my 7 year old so he insisted on adding the skull element. Thank goodness for leftover Halloween scrapbook paper huh? I used a couple of different sized circle dies to get those skulls out of two sheets of leftover paper.

I actually used hot glue for all of the elements except for the star stickers. It was handy and I like to keep things simple.

Make a Heart Valentine’s Day Treat Bag

Do you have girls and not boys? I have you covered. I made some girly heart treat bags, as well.

These are so super simple! I used a Valentine’s Day stamp and pink ink in one corner of the bag. Then used a variety of the foam and felt stickers to decorate the bag.

Get the kids involved in the making of either of these treat bags. Quick and easy crafts like these are perfect for little hands. Plus they will be extra proud when they take these to school that they helped to make them.
