Valentines

Prepare your candies! They could really be anything...I found a large bucket of Valentine candy corns for $2.50, and little lollypop baggies that were $2.50 for 50. They were the only things I had to buy, as I was just using up odds and ends of ribbon and paper that I already had! - Super cheap for all the 30-something Valentines I had to make!
I found that 15 candies fit nicely in the baggies without making them too puffy out the back when completely assembled

6.5 x 3 1/8. Score at 3/8 and 2 7/8 - put some sticky strip on the outer bottom little tab, and also in the middle center (inside, to hold the bag of candy in place. Cut or punch out a heart shape
Stick the candy bag to the middle inside, fold over and attach the little front flap to the underside of the front. and you're done!!
Or almost done. Punch out a smaller heart (mine has {sweet} stamped on it, and is embellished with a little pink gem). Adhere to candy bag with a mini glue dot (or two). Tie a ribbon to the side, and you're done!
I was using up odds and end of paper and ribbon, so none of mine are identical...but all super cute!!
See a side view? With the dimensions scored as they are, it gives a little more room in the back to expand with the candies in there. Love it!!
