DIY Dollar tree Valentine’s Day Candy Favors

Easy and fun DIY  Dollar Tree Valentine’s Day candy favors to give to family and friends. 

Red, white and pink paper cones filled with valentines day candy

Good morning friends, I hope that you are having a wonderful week. I am keeping my fingers crossed for snow this week. We were supposed to get snow on Thursday but now they are forecasting some for Saturday, it will be the first snowfall in a couple of years so I am very excited.

I’ve been a busy bee making treats this week to send to my grandkids, to give to my neighbor kids and to some friends as well. The best part about this Valentine’s Day treat is that there is no baking involved, which is a plus if you are pressed for time, looking for an easy and cute favor to give to friends and family and if you just don’t have an affinity for baking. They are also a wonderful project to make with your kids and grandkids because it is easy and you can make it a lesson in counting, tying and of course because there is candy . Another plus is that almost everything can be purchased at the Dollar Tree, the only thing I did not get at the Dollar Tree is the cone shaped cellophane bags, they are from Amazon. 

Red, white, pink heart doilies and three bowls of valentines day candy

All you need are red, white, and pink doilies, ice cream sugar cones, candy, cellophane bags, candy and ribbon or twine. You can fill your Valentine’s cones with candy, cookies, meringues, popcorn, and caramel corn.

Supplies

Red, White, Pink Heart Shaped Doilies(from the Dollar Tree)

Sugar Cones (from the Dollar Tree)

Cellophane Coned Shaped Bags

Heart Ribbon(from the Dollar Tree)

Candy of your choice

DIY Valentines Day Treats with Doilies and Candy

To Assemble

Take one sugar cone and wrap it with a doily, you can tape the edge if necessary. Then place the cones into the cellophane bag, fill the cones with the candy, Hershey Kisses are a favorite or M&M’s, which are my favorite, popcorn or treats of your choice then tie the top with twine or ribbon.

Note: You can also make your own cone shape with paper if you do not want to purchase sugar cones, a coordinating craft paper would look great wrapped in the heart doily and then placed into the cellophane bags.

I filled my cones with all sorts of candy, M & M’s which my brother-in-law loves, Starburst hearts for the grand-kids, cinnamon lips for my mom, cherry hearts for me! I am also making some almond dragees and some of my favorite brownies and these bars.

If you wanted to add a few homemade treats to your cones, I small sugar cookies or even truffles would be perfect in these cones, after all there is nothing better for Valentine’s day than a homemade gift.

If you are making these cones with your kids or grandkids you could add homemade Valentine’s Day tags  with their artwork and cards as well. I am sure the recipients would love those special additions as much as the cones.

Valentine’s Day, like every other holiday and event will look a little different this year but I think it is important to let our loved ones know they are special and that we are thinking of them at these difficult times. Are you making any treats for Valentine’s day, is so please share your recipes!

Have a wonderful day friends.

“Learn to love and appreciate the good in others “Learn to love and appreciate the good in others.” Good afternoon friends, it’s the last day of February, which is called heart month, not only for Valentine’s Day but for heart health as well. Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart! Have a great day! #heart #hearthealth #vintagestyle #love #heartshaped #scrabbletiles #handmade #handcarved

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
