We love the holiday of love at our house! So far, I have had fun making Valentine Petit Fours, Marshmallow Pops and Mug Cake Gifts. When my now 17 year old daughter was little, she loved crafting ALL THE TIME. She was always cutting, gluing, colouring and finding something to make pretty. One year for Valentine’s Day, we made some treat tubes just like these for her to hand out to a few friends. She spent hours on this project and it provided so much fun for her that I wanted to share it again if you have kiddos at home who love to craft…as she once did.
The best part of this project is that many of these materials might be on hand already, or can be easily made.
And each little treat tube can be made with it’s own unique design too!
You can also fill this tube with candy or non-candy treats….whichever you like!
For this project, you will need:
Supplies:
A small hole punch
Twine {Dollarama}
Foam Hearts {Dollarama}
Scrapbook Paper {scraps will work}
Valentine’s Day Stamp {Michaels $1.50}
Black cardstock
White stamp pad
Scotch tape
Paper trimmer
Stapler
Treats for filling the tubes
Step 1. Make the tags. Use a stamp and bright white ink pad to stamp a message on blackcard. {Cut the tags to fit your stamp size.}Or just use black ink or white cardstock if that works!
Punch a hole in the corner of each tag.
Step 2. Cut scrapbook paper into 3″ by 6″ rectangles. This size will wrap around the tubes perfectly.
Step 3. Fill tubes with treats and staple each end. of the tube.
Here are some ideas for treats:
Smarties, Hersheys Kisses, cinnamon hearts, stickers, small erasers, etc.
Step 4. Wrap each tube with scrapbook paper and use scotch tape to hold it in the back.
Step 5. Add a foam heart to the front and affix with tape on the back. Wrap with twine and add tags!
And now the treat tubes are ready for giving!
I would like mine filled with chocolate please! I have a weakness for chocolate!
So adorably cute! I remember when my daughter made these and she also made little strips of jokes to put inside too! I really wish that I had saved some!
Thank you so much for visiting me!
You are the best!

What a fun DIY project for Valentines!
So FUN Angie!!! Love that you are using things from around the house!!!
Great idea Angie! These are super cute Valentine treats, and so easy to make! awesome!
These are so fun Angie! My kids would have a blast filling them up with treats! Great idea
These are so sweet, Angie! I love how they turned out. And the white stamp on the black cardstock is fabulous! It looks just like chalkboard!
Super cute! Love that white stamp on the black paper- so clever. To think someday your daughter will be crafting like this again with her kids (and you as grandma- way down the road!!!). I'm the only one who does that sort of thing around here anymore. Kinda sad, but fun to reminisce!
So cute! Love the idea to put a joke inside too!
Good ol' TPR….love this idea Angie! xo
Great idea! I love that you can customize each one both on the outside and what you put inside. Great craft to do with kids or friends.
So cute. My daughter would have loved making those too.
Ok you NEED to tell me what brand of white ink stamp you have. Every one I have ever tried bleeds on my paper and I love the look of white ink on kraft paper etc.
And you know I love a good upcycle craft! This is a great idea!
These are absolutely adorable! Thanks for sharing!
