Dollar Tree Valentine!

Boy oh boy do I LOVE the Dollar Tree. Anything I grab is only $1?! It should almost be illegal. Anyways, I always see blogs with tutorials for how to do awesome stuff with objects from the Dollar Tree. So here's my first of many: Valentines. They're not just any plain old paper valentines like when we were kids either.
Don't burst my bubble, be me Valentine!

Supplies
bubbles
colorful ribbon
hole punch
cardstock
markers

Procedure
1. Unwrap that wonderful 6 pack of bubbles you just bought for $1!
2. Print out a cute square of heart shaped goodness or draw your own with some beautiful swirls of red and pink! Make it creative and especially cute.

3. Punch a hole in the top two corners and lace some ribbon through.
4. Use your scissors to curl the ribbon for a little extra flare!

"Pucker up Valentine!"
This cute dollar store steal uses lemonade and a tumbler cup!
It's as simple as that!

Supplies
lemonade singles packets
tumbler cup
construction paper heart
tissues/shredded construction paper.

Procedures
1. Line up lemonade packets around inside of cup.
2. Stuff tissues/shredded paper into middle to secure packets.
3. Put on lid.
4. Cut two horizontal slits in paper heart and insert over straw. Ta-dah!! 

Every year I give or make my best friend a special Valentine surprise. Last year I bought her Tulips that she couldn't possibly kill as long as she added fresh water. Fail. This year's surprise? How about a sock bouquet?! Unfortunately, I didn't make this one because I got her a puppy, so no pics! ): Yay for puppies!

Supplies
Valentine pencils
Straight pins
socks of various designs
small vase
green fill/tissue paper (optional)

Procedures
1. Roll the socks around the top of the pencil to create a flower and pin using a safety pin or straight pin.
2. Repeat until all your pencils and socks are used!
3. Fill small vase with green shredded paper or tissue paper.
4. Stick pencil flowers into vase and voila!

You could always fill the bottom of the vase with candies instead! Be creative!
