You are a’MAZE’ing Valentine Card tutorial

I saw this idea on Zakka life and loved it.  I tried making it, but…I can’t sew a curved line {using plastic and paper}.

My heart was, well not a heart.  So here’s my idea for the sewing impaired:)n a maze ingStraight lines ROCK!

You are a’MAZE’ing Valentine Card tutorial

Valentines-0071.  You’ll need scissors, candy hearts, plastic (a zip-lock bag) and a heavier paper…like card stock.  Print off ‘You are a’MAZE’ing’ on your paper.Valentines-0112.  Cut the plastic baggie apart so you just have one side and place the plastic baggie on the paper and cut out a 4 1/2 inch by 5 1/2 inch rectangle. Valentines-0133.  Sew the plastic to the paper.  Sew the three sides first.

Valentines-0124.  Load the candy.

5.  Sew 3…2 1/2 inch stitches.n a maze ing

6.  Imagine how fun these will be for {you}…I mean your kids to give on Valentine’s Day!

    Thanks for a great idea! My kids are so excited to sew with me. I’m going to have them sign their names in the bottom spot so it will be exposed when the candy is gone. I think I’ll seal the opening with a sticker.
