Pop Top Valentine in a Can

Are you thinking about Valentine’s Day yet?  I’ve been seeing a lot of red and pink on pinterest so it looks like you are!  My kids and I have been planning the homemade valentines they’ll give to classmates and friends and today I have the cutest pop top valentine in a can to share with you!

pop top valentine in a can

 For each valentine, you’ll need one can with a tab {small fruit cans work great}, patterned paper for a label, the printed “can you be my valentine?” phrase, and candy or small toys for filling.

Remove the can’s label and, using a can opener, open the bottom of the can, leaving the pop top intact. Thoroughly wash and dry the can.

Make a paper band to fit around the outside of the can and add the cheesy phrase.  Attach the paper band around the can …

… then, from the bottom, fill the can with candy or small toys.  Use a glue gun to reattach the bottom onto the can, leaving a sealed can.

From the top, there’s no indication that anything has been done to the can and the pop top is perfectly intact, just waiting to be opened by a friend.

And when they open it up, they’ll find Valentine goodies!  You could even add a sweet note inside.

    This is Awesome!! I was just thinking about how I miss watching our son’s pick out their Valentine cards. This is a fun idea. I’m going to use it for my husband and neighbors.
