Classroom Valentines -“Booking it Over Here to Tell You…”

Classroom Valentines Idea: “Booking” it over here tell you…” is such a cute and easy idea to make for the classroom!

So I’m learning that there are good and not-so-good points about my kids starting school (preschool, daycare, whatever it may be.)

Not-so-good: Life is crazier making sure my kiddo is prepared for every new little activity that is taking place within the school. {Field trip, classroom party, etc.}

Good: I get to get my “crafting,” on, WAY more than I did in the past. Now that I actually have classroom parties and deadlines to meet, I make it a priority to get creative.

My Silhouette FINALLY made an appearance out of the box a couple of days ago. I have been staring at that box for months, really intimidated of what was inside. (Facepalm!)  If only I had known how easy it is to use, and how much easier it makes my crafting life… I would have ripped the box out of the UPS drivers hands the day it was delivered, and started “cutting,” my first shape.

Classroom Valentines — “Booking” it Over Here to Tell You…

 I possibly started out with one of the most simple projects I could have done, but I figured if I did something super complicated right off the bat, I may have put the Silhouette back in the box and never opened it again. (Lets just say…I know how I can be.)

So how did I make the Classroom Valentines?

Oh my goodness, it was so easy.

Classroom Valentine Book Tutorial

– I bought 20 little books out of the dollar isle at Target.

– I racked my brain trying to think of something clever to go with a “book.”

– I stopped at Michael’s on the way home, picked up some card stock, Valentine’s stickers, and Valentine’s clothespins.

– Watched a thousand tutorials on how to use a Silhouette, and then found a “tag” template that would work.

– Easily… and I mean easily… took the pre-cut tags, attached a sticker, and “clipped,” the tag on with the decorative clothespins.

– Classroom Valentines DONE!

You can easily do this Valentine too.  Even if you don’t have a Silhouette machine, you can buy pre-cut tags, write the phrase on them, and stick it on a book!)
