Valentines Day is quickly approaching and when you have little ones that means your running out of time to get the dozen+ Valentines you need for their classmates. Last year I ventured into making my own Scented Heart- Shaped Crayons , but this year I went even simpler by making these super adorable 3D Photo Valentines for their classmates.
Photo Without Lollipop
These simple yet adorable Valentines came together in five easy steps:
- Take a photo of your child with their fist extended out.
- Add text and/or images (I used picmonkey) .
- Print 4×6 photos.
- Strategically cut two slits one above the hand and one below.
- Insert lollipop!
Teachers Valentines Day Gift Idea
The teachers gifts required a little more thought, but not much money. I decided to go with a “Tickled Pink” theme and went on a scavenger hunt to find small pink items that any women would love to have. As you can see in the picture below a mason jar and a hand written note makes the teachers gifts complete.
It seems now a days there is nothing I can do that a million mothers haven’t done before me when it comes to arts a crafts. So I embrace it and turn to Pinterest when it’s time to churn out a DIY craft for my little guys. My 3D Photo Valentines were inspired by MommySavers and my “Tickled Pink” jar of goodies were inspired by Pizzazzerie. Thanks lady’s for these great ideas!
Aww, how cute. I wish we were allowed to send food into school so I could make these with my kids.
That is adorable. This is a great idea for a teacher’s gift. And they DO deserve it.

What a cute Valentine idea! This is really original, much better than those boxed valentines like I always send in lol
This is such a cute and creative idea. When my son was in school I always just purchased his Valentines for the class.
This is such a fun idea; using creativity always inspires me!
How cool is that? I love seeing creative ideas like this for Valentines.Those photos work so well.

The sucker Valentine is way too cute! Awesome idea.
My daughter and I are oogling these Valentine’s and admiring your extreme creativity. These truly are the best Valentine’s I’ve ever seen! So original. Off to pin them!!
What a fun idea for the Valentine’s card. Your kid looks so cute holding his arm out to extend the gift to a friend. Teachers will enjoy their special gift, too. Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day.

This is a very cute Valentines’ Day idea!
I think it is very creative.
This is a great Valentines day gift for teachers. I will have to share this with my friends with little ones.
These are really great ideas. I find teachers are so hard to buy for so I’ll pin this one for future ideas.
That is a really awesome Valentine’s Day idea. I can’t say I have ever really noticed a 3D pic being gifted like this. Love it.
Valentine’s is such a cute holiday for kids. I love the little crafts that used to come home to me when my kids were little
I love doing photo valentine’s and this is a neat spin to put on it! I will have to remember these for next year!
I just love 3D valentines! Yours turned out so perfectly! It’s all about getting the photo just right. Need to work on that.
