Valentine's Day Tissue Cozies
How To

Yup, we know Valentine's Day is still three weeks away. You may need those three weeks if, like Holly at Stitch/Craft, you plan to make these incredibly cute tissue holders for your kiddo's classmates.

This was a DIY project for last Valentine's Day, when Holly made twenty of these for her son's schoolmates. And we were being a bit facetious with our "You're going to need three weeks to make these" comment. We've made tissue cozies in the past, and they're really not difficult. To move things along quickly, Holly advises using a rotary cutter and mat, and then adopting an assembly-line process for sewing the cozies. And the adorable end result is worth it... especially if it encourages the kids to actually use the tissues!

These are cute, no doubt! But how many kids actually carry tissues? Seems a bit of a strange gift for elementary age kids.

Those are so cute. Here is another great Valentines day idea I found. Any little boy would look so cute in this bow tie. Check it out at: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39348922

these are cute... but i think my 2 year old and i are going to attempt to make these "i'd snap at the chance to be your valentine" alligator pillowbox valentines, and give them to grandma, grandpa, aunts and some of his little friends. i found them on skip to my lou and they're adorable!
