Tutorial | Treat Holder For Valentine’s Day

February 9, 2015 by Francine Clouden

Looking for a quick, cute, and budget-friendly Valentine treat holder you can make in minutes? This sweet little project checks all the boxes. Made from just two pre-made tags and a few cardstock scraps, this DIY Valentine treat holder is perfect for classroom gifts, party favors, or small handmade surprises.

The finished size is just right for Ghirardelli chocolate squares, Hershey’s Nuggets, or other individually wrapped chocolates, making it an easy option when you want something that feels special without being time-consuming. Because the base is made from tags, there’s very little measuring involved—great news if you’re crafting with kids or working assembly-line style for a class or group.

To decorate, you can keep things simple or go all-out. A die-cut machine makes quick work of layered heart shapes, but basic paper punches work just as well. Mixing solid cardstock with glitter, metallic, or patterned paper adds instant texture and interest, while still keeping the project low-cost.

Once your chocolates are tucked inside, simply line up the tags, punch holes if needed, and tie everything together with baker’s twine for a charming handmade finish. Red and white twine gives classic Valentine vibes, but pink, gold, or even black and white work beautifully depending on your color scheme.

This Valentine treat holder is endlessly customizable—change the tag shape, swap out the embellishments, or add a handwritten name or message for a personal touch. Whether you’re making one or fifty, it’s the kind of project that looks thoughtful without requiring hours at the craft table.

Perfect for Valentine’s Day classroom treats, party favors, handmade gifts, or scrap-busting projects, this simple tag-style treat holder proves that sometimes the easiest crafts are the most charming.

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

Andrea used the Fun Times collection from Simple Stories to create this fabulous mini Travel Tag album. She even found a cute tiny plastic suitcase to fit it inside of, decorating the outside with a few chipboard elements and a scalloped border.

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

The album itself has different siezd and shaped pages, some rectangle, some tag shaped, some with scalloped edges but all stitched around the edges. It’s held together at the top with a metal “O” ring.

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

The pages have 3″ x 2 1/2″ photos that are accented with metal buttons, vintage cameras, floral and map papers, chipboard embellishments, tabs, labels and travel related designs in fun retro color combinations.

She’s even included some fun interactive pages too for a really cool tiny but mighty album design.
