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.

Wedding Mini Album

Wedding Mini Album

Last month was peak wedding season so this week I’m focusing on scrapbooking all those fabulous wedding memories. (Check out a collection of 12 fresh new wedding layouts from my post earlier this week if you missed it.) And today we’ll be checking out a fantastic Wedding Mini Album project so you can keep all the memories of that special day in one place that’s easy to carry around and show off to friends, family and coworkers.

Wedding Mini Album

Using the same collection in a mini album makes it so much easier and faster to create with no guess work on color scheme, pattern or style. Cheryl used the Simple Vintage Love Story collection from Simple Stories for her beautiful mini album project. There’s lots of florals, butterflies and vintage touches like postage, tags and tickets that come in sweet products like pattern papers, chipboard, foam stickers, rub-ons and more that coordinate perfectly together for a seamless design.

Wedding Mini Album

I really love the interactive elements she included in her album like flaps and pockets too! 

Visit the Simple Stories blog to see more pics of the album and learn a bit about how she put it all together.
