Homemade Valentine’s Day Card Candy Holder! An Oriental Trading DIY Craft!

January 22, 2014 Carlee at Fun Learning Life 12 Comments

I was provided samples of Oriental Trading Valentine’s Day products to facilitate this post. Opinions expressed are that of my own.

Homemade Valentine's Day Card with Craft Supplies from Oriental Trading

Looking for a simple yet pretty Valentine’s Day Card Craft for your children? Check out this fun candy holder card my kids and I created!

Thanks to Oriental Trading I was sent items to create a fun Valentine’s Day Craft with my kids. Personally, I have shopped their website in the past for items like ornaments, goody bag gifts, and party supplies, and have been pleased with the products I received. I actually got favors for one of my oldest son’s birthday events, and Oriental Trading helped me put the finishing touches on the party theme.

Just like my previous experiences, I was really happy with merchandise. Having all these supplies on hand was really nice because it made crafting EASY for my kids, but still allowed them to use their creativity. 

Foam Conversation Hearts Stickers from  Oriental Trading

My family was able to assemble Valentine’s Day Cards for school, and also spend some quality time together. Not to mention, we now have plenty of hearts left over to use in other crafts or to make more Valentine’s Day Cards next year.

Pasting doilies onto Homemade Vantines Day Card from Oriental Trading

In order to create our Valentine’s Day Card With Candy Holder Craft, we used:

DIY Valentine Cards with envelopes

Valentine Conversation Adhesive Foam Heart Stickers

Fabulous Foam Adhesive Hearts

Mini Valentine Heart Doilies

Flat Heart Lollipops

Glue Sticks

(I happen to already have the glue sticks on hand, and bought the lollipops at the Dollar Store.)

Foam Heart Stickers from  Oriental Trading

To assemble our cards, first we put a little paste on the bottom of a doily and centered it on the Valentine. We then chose a large heart for the center. For some reason the conversation hearts did not want to stick to doilies, so we added a little paste. Next, we placed 2 small hearts on each side of the doily to create a pocket.

After the cards were finished, I instructed the kids to set them aside for the paste to dry.  I also told them to leave the placement of the lollipop up to me.

Place lollipop carefully through hole in doilie

I then put the stem of the lollipop off-center through one of the larger holes in the side of doily. This was right below the edge of the large center foam heart.

I pushed the paper down with my thumb nail as the stem went through. The material is thin so you will need to be careful as you guide it into the doily. Once the lollipops were added to the card, they slide easily into the furnished envelopes.
