Felt Valentine's envelope

So I did not come up with this idea on my own! (surprise, surprise!) My MOPS group actually shared it with me! I thought it was too cute (and easy) to pass up so I decided to try it.

First I took a sheet of felt and made a slit down the middle.....

Then I folded it in half, leaving the slit along the top and sewed around the edges. Then I trimmed a little bit more to make it more of a pocket.

I forgot to take a pic of this step... but I cut out a triangle and sewed that along the top to make it an envelope! Then I let the boys decide what decorations they wanted to add; and hot-glued those on.

The strawberry says "I love you BERRY much!"

Each day we'll write each other "love notes" and put them in their envelopes! I made the strawberry yesterday... I love cheesy valentines!

It's so important to encourage your kids and let them know how much you love them!!

1 John 4:7-8  Dear friends, let us love one another, for loves comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Oh yea... and this is JDub's idea of a sweet note for the baby........ what a punk!
