How to Make a Valentine's Day Bag for Your Child


Your child will delight in making this old- fashioned Valentine bag for holding lots of fun filled Valentines that they receive at school.
 It's simple and useful, making it a great school project for kids.











Things You'll Need

  • Small white lunch bag
  • Arts and craft colored pencils or crayons
  • Colored construction paper (red and pink)
  • Thin (red or pink) or both ribbon (optional)
  • Scissors
  • (Elmer's) white glue or craft glue
  • Decorative Valentine's stickers are optional

Steps


1 - Set up a work area with all items needed for this project.
See "Things You'll Need"
 

2 - Lay the Valentine's bag on a flat surface.
Using either the colored pencils or crayons, write the words "Happy Valentine's Day". Do this on both sides of the bag and draw any other creativity.


3 - Use the construction paper to make some decorations for the bag.
Draw and cut out a few (small) pink and red hearts.
4 - Glue the hearts on the bag.
Add decorative Valentine stickers if desired.
5 - Add a handle too.
You don't need to include one, but if you would like to have a handle, there are two different ways to make it:
  • Hole punch handle: Make a handle by punching a hole to each side of the bag, about an inch (2.5cm) down from the top. A hole puncher can be used, or use a sharp object able to make small holes. Then, run the ribbon through the holes, and tie off on each side. More ribbon can be tied on to the side to give the bag more appeal, such as using ribbon of a different color.
  • Strip handle: Alternatively, cut a strip of construction paper (in pink or red) to make a handle. Glue each of the ends to each of the sides of the bag, namely the inside of the bag. Leave to dry before using.
6 - Finished.


Warnings

  • Don't go overboard on the glue; apply a thin even coat to the area that glue is needed.
  • Supervise any use of sharp instruments to make holes in the bag––an adult should do it if a hole puncher is not being used.
