Grab some scraps of paper and ribbon, some tape and a heart punch and you’ve got yourself some homemade valentines in minutes…

I really wanted to MAKE valentines this year for Andy’s class.  I wanted to last year, but with 35 kids in the class I thought FORGET IT!!  This year there is a MUCH more manageable number so I thought I’d give it a whirl.  Boy valentines are HARD!!  I came up with a million fun girly pink and red ideas.  For boys…not so much! :)   I finally came up with something I think will suffice.  I was happy when Andy walked in and saw them sitting on the counter and said “cool, mom! Rockets!”  That made it TOTALLY worth it! :)


I simply drew out the idea on a sheet of paper, then cut the individual pieces out of some paper I’ve had lying around for ages that I still love.  :)

They each measure about 4×6


Valentine web 


For the back I printed out the message on a white sheet of cardstock.  I used the free skater dude font from this site.

glued it all together, stuck a sucker on it and called it a day! ;)


They aren’t anything fancy, but if you’re in a bind and want to make some yourself, you can Download the Rocket Pattern that I made for you. :)


Have a great day!
