Valentine Treat Bag

With just a week until Valentine’s Day, I’m in a mad rush to scramble finishing up these last minute cards and gifts. Didn’t we just celebrate Christmas? Goodness gracious, the time is flying by quickly!

A while back I picked up lots of clear tubes and small bags with the intention to create decorated treat bags. Months have passed and I’ve only created a few….. I figured it was time to rectify this. With the help of some new products and Valentine candies, I was able to dress up these products in just a few minutes.

Up until recently, I never really used to purchase patterned papers. Now, I’m ~~a tad bit~~ obsessed. My favorites are of course, polka dots. If a package has large or small polka dots, it’s very likely that I’ll purchase it.

I had fully intended to buy some sort of red or pink chocolate candies at the store but alas, they didn’t have ANY! I searched the aisles a few times over and came up with nothing. Maybe that’s a good thing…..I won’t be tempted to eat these gum drops!

Notice that fun scallop frame that I decorated with red pearls? That’s a wood veneer piece! I have succumbed to the hype and bought three packages. If you haven’t tried them, you’re missing out. Really.

That’s going to wrap up this post. Thanks for visiting me and checking out my little Valentine creation today. I’ll see you tomorrow about some fun news {yes, more!} and info on a giveaway I’ll be hosting soon.

Valentine Heart Basket

I’m so excited that the day is finally here and I get to share this Valentine treat! If you follow the DeNami blog, you saw on Friday that Dana created a darling photo tutorial. I am utterly in love with Dana’s creative idea and am thrilled that she had the idea for us to do a downloadable PDF based off of her idea. {stay until the end of the post for the link}

Since I’m such a fan of pink and red together, I decided to bring them together for today’s post. Add in some hearts, bling and candy and you have a sweet treat {literally} all wrapped in one.

One of my favorite things about this project? I got to use some of the items I’ve been hoarding and they worked perfectly on this little beauty. A while back Wendy sent me a lot of pom poms, which I’ve been saving for special occasions. After playing with a few different options, I decided that the pink ones HAD to be used on this template. Don’t they look darling?

On the front, I put in some acetate so you could see the candies up close. After putting everything together, I realized I needed bling and added lots of red rhinestones to frame the heart. There just aren’t words about how much I love how this turned out– it’s going to be so hard to part with this basket!

DIY Gumball Machine

My first post! I’m excited to be a contributing to Pretty Pink Posh! Thank you everyone for such nice comments and the warm welcome.

In this post I’ll be showing you a step by step tutorial on how to create your own gumball machine. Since Valentine’s Day is coming soon, there are many cute candies you could fill this with.

Supplies needed: Paint, round glass vase, flower pot, flower pot saucer, flat marble, foam brush, and a hot glue gun

Step 1: Paint the flower pot, the flower pot saucer and the marble. Dry.

Step 2: Flip the flower pot upside down and (using the hot glue gun) place four dots on equal sides of the pot. Immediately place the vase on top of the hot glue and press down.

Step 3: Place the saucer on top of the vase to cover the opening. Use the hot glue gun to place a dot onto the center of the saucer and immediately put the marble on top. Dry.

Step 4: Place candies or gumdrops inside and show it off to your friends. Then enjoy!

I can’t wait to hear what you think of this idea and if you try it out! I have lots of ideas that I am looking forward to bringing to the blog, I hope you will continue to visit!
