One of my favorite holidays is Valentine’s Day because me and my babiekin love to make Valentine’s goodies for the students in his class. Here is a round-up of some of my favorite DIY Valentine’s that you and your babiekins can make together that are cool, fun and cute. Now I have to decide which one we will make this year.
Did you know our very own BabieKinsmag Editor @mamaandthetribe is super crafty on top of being super talented? She came came up with this adorable Valentine’s Day craft for my soon to be Valentine’s Day birthday girl, ELSIE! We also had baby Ethan join in our fun and celebrated our craft and photos by getting some ice cream. Here is how you can get this fun and fabulous Valentine’s Day look in a few EASY steps!
1. Visit your local Dollar store ( or craft store) for headbands and glasses.
and CANDY Hearts.
2. Use a hot glue gun to bedazzle your items with CANDY ! If you are doing this with small children, you can also use Glue Dots for them to press the candy on instead of hot gluing.
3. Wear your super fun and sweet fashion pieces and do a HAPPY DANCE!
4. EAT leftover CANDY ! HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
We also candy-dazzled some heart glasses too! Hi Baby Ethan !

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, so I have a quick and easy DIY banner tutorial for you that you can whip up today with your babiekins. This garland is the perfect decoration for hanging along tables, windows, walls or anywhere else your heart desires. It adds just the right amount of whimsy to any space.
Supplies:
Coloured 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper. (You will need two of each colour or pattern to make one fan)
Gluestick
1″ thick ribbon
Scoreboard (optional)
Step 1: You can either use a scoreboard like I did and score at 1″ increments, or fold your paper accordion style making your fold 1″ wide.
Step 2: Fold all sheets of paper accordion style. Take your paper with all the folds compressed, fold in half and glue together. Each page is half of your fan.
Step 3: Take the two corresponding fans and glue them together on one side.
Step 4: Take your ribbon and glue the fans onto the underside.
Voila, you’re done!
