diy: my fudgy valentine.

it's been a loong day of crafting.

but i'm finally finished with all but one valentine's day project.

& that one hopefully will be done tomorrow.

i can usually get more done when the dude is in school & it's just me & the babe.

odd, right? you'd think it'd be the opposite.

not here.

so these are mason's valentine's for his class.

i'm not going to lie.

it was a tad bit more work than i anticipated.

but i'm very happy with the end result.

can you tell what the tubs are?

how about now?

yep. in their former life they were baby food containers.

(don't worry i washed them twice, really good, with hot soapy water)

they just seemed like the perfect container for something...

so i put this inside.

(it's fudge. with sprinkles. heart shaped sprinkles. :)

nothing fancy.

kid's aren't that particular about their chocolate, ya know :)

it's a foolproof fudge recipe.

appropriately named & available here at eagle brand.

once the fudge cooled i got to work decorating them.

just needed:

-double sided tape

-corner rounder punch

-tape measure

-paper trimmer

-scrap paper

-pen

-heart punch

i cut a bunch of strips out & taped them around the bottom.

then i cut some paper for the tops & rounded the edges..

and punched out some hearts..

assembled the tops...

i couldn't come up with any cute chocolate or fudge related sayings..

so i just stuck with the above.

lame, i know.

and there ya have it.

i'm contemplating attaching a popsicle stick or plastic spoon for easy eating.

i'm undecided.

what's your thought?

xo-k

ps. i am STILL not done with valentine's day posts. few more coming. :)
