Easy Valentine’s Day Craft Idea: M&M Candy Pouches {Free Printable}

January 14, 2014 by Kaysi 17 Comments

One of my favorite things about Valentine’s Day is coming up with fun and easy valentines.  Some of my favorite posts have been my M&M candy pouches that I made for the holidays.  They have been a huge hit, so I had to make them for Valentine’s Day.  It’s a very easy Valentine’s Day craft to do and I love how they turn out.  I decided to makes an owl, a bear and some conversation hearts.

This is how I made them:
Using my Silhouette, I cut out the shapes out of card stock. For each pouch I cut two shapes.  I also have a file for the vinyl that I cut for the faces and words.   You can get the cut files here:

For the conversation hearts, I wrote on the sandwich bag with a permanent marker.

Then with a glue gun I glued the back heart onto the bag.  I just glued the edges.

I filled the bag with M&M’s and then put the top shape onto it.  Then I glued it on,  I put the hot glue directly onto the bag to melt the plastic and sealed the sides together.

I did the same thing to the other shapes.  Then I trimmed the sides.

I added some paper and drew faces onto the animals.  Then I added the printable into them.  You can get the free printable here.

Here is a video on how I make these 🙂 I did them a little differently and used vinyl for the words and faces.

    Can these candy pouches be any cuter? Oh my, I love the little owl – you are a hoot- classic and just so adorable. So glad I found your blog over at The Weekend Retreat link party 🙂
