Vintage Valentines Day Party Activity- 10 Things I Love About You


Hello fans! Thanks so much for your sweet comments, etc!
 Today I'm going to show you the Vintage Valentines Day Party Activity! 


10 Things I Love About You

Before the party I cut out a ton of pink and red hearts. I purchased the cute muslin bags {above} from etsy shop, Tiny Bubbles. I tied a fun vintage skeleton key to each bag {keys were purchased on eBay} and used small alphabet stamps {found at Hobby Lobby} to stamp, "i love you" on each bag.

I had all the kids at the party chose a person they wanted to give the bag to.
They then wrote 10 different reasons why they loved that person on 10 individual hearts.
I had my sewing machine out and ready and sewed the 10 hearts together {making it a long garland} as each child finished...

I then put the sewn garland into each childs 'i love you' bag to take home....

Step six: Repeat until the whole ball is covered with lovely cupcake liners! Attach fishing line or a ribbon to hang! {For this particular pom pom I left a space uncovered so I could set the ball on a large glass candlestick}...
