Bee My Valentine~

ETA:
A few people have emailed or asked where to get the cello bags used in this post. These were gifted to me, however, here is a link to similar items:

Cello Bags




Quick Valentine candy sleeves for Brett to hand out to a few of his teachers. Sleeves are scored down the middle, folded in half, sewed on one side, and half circle punched on each end. A simple stamped/punched tag tied around the sleeve and these were completed rather quickly. The longest part of this treat? Filling those skinny cellos! I filled 6, I have a friend who did an entire class of them (no thanks! LOL).

Cute Val from Cal!! Are the bags on GinaK's site? What a great idea!! Totally can see the "pain" of filling those bags!! Sounds like a fun job for the kids!
