kiss me countdown

it's always fun to count down to those special days of the year.
 with valentine's day right around the corner we decided to put together a quick and simple...

kiss me countdown

the perfect little treat for your kids or even your significant other.

 

supplies:
bag of Hershey Kisses
cellophane - about 30 inches long
scrapbook paper
adhesive

the how-to:
-cut a strip of cellophane long ways about 4" wide
-tie your first twine bow about an inch down on your cellophane
-add 2 kisses and tie another bow
-continue until you have added 13 days worth of kisses
*in order to fit all 13 days worth of kisses be sure to keep everything real tight!


- download the tag HERE
- print the tag on some fun scrapbook paper
- trim and snip the corners to make a tag shape
- back in a coordinating cardstock
- punch a hole and tie to the top of the countdown
- (optional) use a glue dot to position the tag out to the side - othorwise it will just hang straight down
- start counting down on February 1st!

hope they enjoy all those yummy kisses...
be sure to give them a real one on February 14th!

Hi, my name is Jason, and I'm a chocoholic.
(group replies, "Hi Jason")

As a self proclaimed chocoholic, my concern is that I'd destroy all kisses in a single sitting. So you're saying this is a lesson in self control, and a reward for achieving it. Nice.

So fun, except my husband doesn't like chocolate. Maybe I could make it for him to give to me :)

I love this idea! My son has a major sweet tooth like his mom, so I will definitely have to make this and try not to eat all of them before the kids have a chance at it :)
