Whatever Wednesday: You Rock Valentine

February 9, 2011 by Kaysi 17 Comments

When I saw this idea to make a little iPod, I knew that I wanted to do that with my kids. It’s so hard to come up with something that isn’t too girlie. This was just perfect for my boys to give to their classmates!
All I did was take a box of the conversation hearts and wrapped it with wrapping paper. Then I used some kisses for the head phones. I had my boys actually help me do most of the work this year. It was really hard to watch them glue the paper on crooked… but I know that it is funner for them to make them instead of me.

Here’s my son jamming out to his iPod!!

Here’s what I did last year:

    I like the I-pod candy idea. I have made my kids' Valentine card boxes to look like an I-pod before. Super fun. I featured your idea from last Valentine's Day on my blog. Check it out…

    Did you use embroidery floss for the ear bud cords? Trying to figure it all out, LOL!

      I just used some silver string. Bakers twine would look great too.
