My oldest son was easy when it came to Valentine's Day. I could make whatever I wanted, he would pass them out, didn't care what people thought, he gets candy, I get to craft...win/win!
Son #2....yea, not so much! He's my show off. Everything has to be "cool" and not "girly" and blah blah blah!
Coming up with a Valentine was difficult, but buddy, Pinterest was here for the rescue!!
I found a blogger who has a son that loves Star Wars Legos as much as Son #2 and she has saved my rear!!
HERE is the link to the printables! She made them with a white background and colored background. Whatever tickles your fancy...I chose the white background.
I am OUT of white cardstock and since I just bought a ridiculous amount of colored cardstock, I decided to not tip the boat of insane Micheal's shopping and give the fiance a heart attack. I printed on regular printer paper.
Then I took a sheet of 8.5 x 11 in red cardstock and cut each sheet into fours. I then ran the printables, cut out of course, through my sticker machine.
Once that was done, I placed my new stickers on the red card stock sheets.
Next, I cut a slit, well technically three slits on the lightsaber area of the picture.
I slide my glow stick downward (so from the front to the back) through the slits I cut.
To hold the glow stick in place, keeping it's "cool" factor alive, I placed a piece of tape on the back.
Son #2 is raving about these and very excited to pass them out!
