Blow a Kiss This Valentine's Day

Bear oh Bear!

As everyone here knows, I love my sweets (especially honey), but sometimes too much sugar hurts even my tummy!

Hand Made Bubbles Gift for Valentines DayI've also been told it's not beary good for my teeth, and so sometimes it's nice to have a sugar free way to celebrate.
If you are looking for a fabulous, food and fuss free way
to wish friends or family a Happy Valentine's Day,
why not blow them a kiss?

We made these customized "Blow a Kiss" bottles of bubble solution in the toy shop this morning, and they were so fast and fun, and frugal too.

Here's What You Need:

Small bottles of bubble solution

Scrapbook, or other paper with a pretty pattern, to make the label

Solid coloured paper to make the large hearts

White (or contrasting solid coloured) paper to make the small hearts

A fine tipped marker or pen

Double sided tape, or alternate glue or adhesive of your choice


Here's What You Need To Do:

1. Measure the width of the label on your bottle of bubble solution, and cut patterned paper into strips of an equal width.

2. Measure the circumference of your bottle of bubble solution and trim your strips of patterned paper to fit around your bottle, with a bit of extra to overlap at the seam.

3. Wrap your strip of patterned paper tightly around the bottle, and secure with double sided tape at the seam (glue would work too, or you could even just tape a strip of regular clear tape over the seam.

4. Cut larger hearts out of solid paper, and smaller hearts out of white paper.

5. Write or print "Blow a Kiss" onto white hearts with a fine tipped pen.

6. Attach one white hearts to each solid coloured heart with double sided tape or glue.

7. Use double sided tape or glue to secure one completed heart to eacah bottle of bubble solution, centering the heart in the middle of your new scrapbook paper label.

8. Share the love and "Blow a Kiss" to your friends and family!
