Rocket Candy Card
-
Store-bought candy and craft supplies such as construction paper, scissors and tape, are used to make a rocket candy card with a message for your Valentine. This card requires a roll of round hard candies and chocolate kisses. Cut a square piece of colored construction paper to fit around the hard candy roll and tape it into place. Cut another color of construction paper, such as red or pink, into the shape of flames, and include a 1/4 inch tab on one end. Cut the tab in half and fold the flaps in opposite directions. Tape the tab end of the flames to one end of the candy roll. Tape the chocolate kiss to the other end of the candy roll and write a message on either the front of the rocket or the flames.

Rock Candy

With a box of conversation hearts, two mini peanut butter cups and some basic craft supplies, create a Valentine's craft that appears to be an MP3 player with a set of earbuds. Wrap the peanut butter cups with aluminum foil and wrap a piece of pink construction paper around the box of conversation hearts; glue to secure. Cut two 14-inch pieces of string and tape one end of each string to a different peanut butter cup. Tape the other ends of the strings to the top of the box of conversation hearts. Cut the front pieces of the MP3 player, such as the scroll wheel and screen, from white construction paper. With a black pen, draw the arrows on the scroll wheel and write in a message to your Valentine on the screen.
Candy Holder
-
Create a candy holder and recycle an old baby food jar for this craft. Gather together a baby food jar which has been washed, rinsed and dried; a paintbrush; pink and red craft paint and candy. Paint the lid of the jar with the pink paint and let it dry. After the paint is dry, paint tiny hearts on the lid with the red paint, and on the jar with red and pink paint. Once the paint is dry, fill the jar with your choice of Valentine candy.
