    Pinwheel Valentines

    I've always been a cheese-ball when it comes to Valentine's Day cards and gifts. I usually skip the traditional paper card and make some sort of funny (or edible) "love note" for Jason. When I spotted these little plastic pinwheels in the garden section of my local craft store I thought they would make the cutest Valentine's day tokens of love. These Pinwheel Valentines are sure to blow your Valentine away! Plus they're downright fun.

    Pinwheel-Valentines

    To make these Pinwheels Valentines, you will need:

    plastic pinwheels - you can find them at most craft stores or online here
    (or skip the paint and use these holiday pinwheels)
    spray paint
    glitter
    ribbon or twine
    Valentine's tags - download here & print

    Pinwheel-Valentine-1

    Let’s Get Started:

    1. Spray paint pinwheels and allow to dry completely.
    2. Print tags and cut out. Punch a small hole in the top of each.
    3. Add a dot of glue and a sprinkle of glitter to the "nose" of each pinwheel. You could also add glitter to the pinwheels "petals" if you want a little extra sparkle.
    4. Attach a tag with a small piece ribbon or twine to each pinwheel and gift away!
    Note: These would be adorable stuck into a bouquet of flowers, "planted" in the garden for your Valentine to find, or simply given by hand.
