Clothespin Valentine Idea | I'd Love to "Hang" Out With You

An easy and adorable Valentine idea using clothespins! I’d LOVE to “hang” out with you! Perfect for class parties and school valentines.

I adore clothespins, and how fun are these darling valentines? Super easy to make, and totally affordable. You can buy packages of 100 clothespins for so cheap! (affiliate)

ITEMS YOU NEED:

clothespin (Remember these? Directions HERE) They were perfect for this!
cardstock; one neutral, two coordinating colors
distress ink
double stick tape
paper trimmer
printed words (I used fonts “A Little Pot”, and “Century Gothic”)
small plastic treat bags (I bought mine at Michael’s. I think they were around $4 for 50 bags–around 1 1/2 inches wide by 3 inches high.)
candy (I love the look of the pink & red M&Ms!)
ribbon, of course!

DIRECTIONS:

Print your valentine words on white card stock. I like the texture of Bazzill, but you can use whatever you have.
Using your paper trimmer, cut out two coordinating colors of cardstock–one slightly larger than the other. I cut my colored paper about twice as wide as the white, to make room for the clothespin and candy.
Ink all edges.
With the double stick tape, adhere the white card stock to your smaller piece of colored cardstock, then tape that onto the larger piece.
Place a small piece of double stick towards the middle of the back of your clothespin, then clip it onto the top left of your card. The tape will just give it a little extra security.
Fill one of the bags with candy, fold over the top, then clip it onto the card using the clothespin.
I couldn’t resist some ribbon! Tie it around the lower part of the clothespin.

LOVE these! I can’t wait to make a dozen more!
