Simple Brown Paper Valentines with Sewn Edges

A few simple materials create these sewn brown paper Valentines are simplistic and charming.  The sewn edges with treats inside make a unique gift for the special Valentines in your life.  :)

 

Here’s what you’ll need:  a brown paper sack (or brown craft paper), a sewing machine (or a needle and thread), and M&M’s (or another small treat).

1.  Cut two rectangles out of the brown paper sack (or craft paper) that are about the same size and gently fold in half.

  1. These are so adorable! I might try to do this for Ava’s class at school… thanks :)

  2. Love this idea! x

  3. So sweet! I really need to get a sewing machine. ;)

  4. Great idea! Plan to use the 4-H Clover Buds meeting next week. So easy, simple and cheap. I will probably use freezer paper, as that is what I have on hand.

  5. These are so cute. I might try these with waxed paper so the recipient can get a peek at what is inside.
