DIY Personalized Candy Holder Valentines

Personalized Candy Holder Valentines
- Photo of your child holding their arm out (as if holding a stick)
- Suckers of choice
- X-acto knife
- Photoshop or you can use Picnik.com (which is sadly shutting down in April)
Instructions:
Once you have a photo of your child holding their arm out you are going to want to put some personalizations on the card. You can use your photoshop or photo editing program or you can use Picnik.com which is free (until April). I added hearts, borders, "Happy Valentine's Day" and "Love, Graham". Make sure to resize the pixels of your picture so that they work with a 4x6 photo (1800 x 1200 pixels). Print these out in a 4x6 size. I received free prints by opening a CVS photo account. Once the photos are printed just use your X-acto knife to cut two slits at the top and bottom of the hand in the picture. Insert your sucker and you are good to go!

I've been eyeing these on Pinterest too--they are adorable! Can't wait for Lucas to be in school so we can make V-day cards for his class!
