The boys Valentine's were a huge hit this year.
Wesley is really into Lego Marvel's right now. That is all he kept asking for, so I found this clip art on Google. He loved it. I used Wilton candy melts for the candies. I purchased the Lego Mold on Amazon last year. I bought the bags at Joanns in the candy isle. The red cardstock is 4 1/4" x 8 ", scored at 4" to make the bag topper.
We have all female teachers this year and I think they are all Wonder Women. So I did this for both the boys wonderful teachers. Again, image was Googled.
I apologize that this picture is sideways, I cannot get it to rotate, I am having one of those days. I saw this cute idea on Pinterest. I am not as creative in getting my words to print onto the head so I printed on paper and then attached to the head.
Of course we saw The Lego Movie this past weekend and my boys all loved Emmett. I traced Emmett's face in MTC and used leftover Cricut vinyl in black and white. Bradley had to correct me that Emmett did not have white eyes, but I think it gave the head more character. Using vinyl to do the face was so much easier than cutting out each piece, making it into a sticker and then attaching each piece...like I normally would have done if I didn't just find a stash of leftover vinyl. On MTC, there is a free file for a Lego guy. I downloaded the guy and only used the head. I then made it into a card so I could use it as a bag topper.
The gaggle of Lego Heads, starring at me!
Wesley's class is decorated bags, love that idea. Bradley wanted to keep in the theme of Legos for his box. I got this idea from a friend on Pinterest ...do you see a pattern, I am a Pinterest freak!
I used some Cricut vinyl and used Dunkin' Font for his name. I think it kind of looks like the LEGO font. Again, with one of those days, I could have sworn it was centered. We used empty applesauce containers for the posts, gorilla glued them. I bought yellow spray paint, we put on 2 coats, that did not cover up all the stuff underneath. I used yellow acrylic paint, still did not cover it all up. I got to the good enough point.
Mott's containers.
It is all worth the hard work for me. I love seeing my boys faces when they are done. We did an assembly line the day before with 43 bags on the counter...put in 1 red Lego guy, put in 1 blue Lego guy and so on and so forth. That was the best part, working together.
