Hello Make It and Love It readers! It’s Emma from Crafting{E} again, and I have a great project for you today!
If you haven’t noticed (by all the other posts I have shared on here) I REALLY love holidays. I love how special life feels when a holiday is coming up. I love being with family and showing my loved ones how much they mean to me.
It’s sad to me how I see people focus on the superficial parts of holidays: Santa and presents at Christmas, the Easter bunny on Easter, etc.
Although I feel like Valentine’s is like this in a lot of ways, I love the meaning behind the holiday. One of my favorite things to do is to show my friends and family members how much I love them.
The project I’m sharing today, a Valentine’s Day advent calendar, is perfect for this. It’s a pretty simple idea: each one of the cups can be filled with goodies or a nice note, and each day leading up to Valentine’s Day you get to “punch” open a new cup and see what’s inside.
In hindsight I wouldn’t of used clear cups because then you can see what’s inside. But the cups are covered with tissue paper that is secured to the cup with a rubber band.
I actually PRINTED right onto the tissue paper on each of the cups. I think it looks SO cool and let me tell you… it’s not hard at all. I’m also giving you guys the files with the numbers on the for free so you can make your own countdown!
