In case you were ever wondering if there was such a thing as friendly dynamite… the answer is yes. Not only is this DIY friendly, but it’s full of pretty surprises and love notes.

At least, our version is with this DIY You’re Dynamite Valentine. Can you guess what this little bundle of Cupid is made of? That’s right, an old seasoning container!

Let’s not pretend that you aren’t looking for a good reason to buy the hot chocolate mix or can of Pringles. And we’re  happy to support the habit for you to recycle them to make inexpensive “I love you’s”.

If you are one of the die hards still sticking to your New Year’s resolution, you can just use an old mailing tube. These make for the perfect Valentine’s Day party favors.

How To Make The Easy DIY You’re Dynamite Valentine’s

1 — Optional: Spray paint your container a solid white. Allow to dry.

2 —  With a drill or X-ACTO knife, create a small hole in the top of the lid 

3 — String a small piece of cord through the hole, and make a knot on the inside to keep the string firmly in place.

4 — Cut a piece of card-stock to the same height as your container. Glue the card-stock around the outside by brushing tacky glue around the container. Then, wrap the paper around and press firmly.

5 — To make the flame at the end of the cord, cut adhesive red felt into a flame or teardrop shape and stick the pieces to each other with the cord in the middle.
