Looking for a unique idea for school Valentine exchanges? How about giving a package of Kool Aid and a squiggle straw along with this free printable, exclusively for Moms by Heart readers!

These are too cute! I almost did a similar Valentine for my boys but I ended up going with a Play-Doh one instead:) Maybe we’ll do Kool-Aid next year!

A week ago I found kool-aid for 5 packets for 10 cents! I knew I could find something online to make it into a Valentine! Perfect timing! Thanks!

I love your kool aid valentine! Can you make the same one but say have a kool summer? I would love for my daughter to give this to her 1st grade class on the last day of school.

How did you attach the straw and Kool Aid? Thanks! I already have everything printed out and ready to go!

Hi Mel – the first time I made them I punched two small holes at the top of the card and used a red ribbon which attached to the straw on the back of the card and threaded through the holes. Then I tied a bow on the front. But the second time I was a little less fancy and just attached it to the back with tape. Both ways worked fine.

Thanks so much! I’m thinking I’ll be going the tape route as well!

HI There! So cute! I know my little guy would love taking them to the kids in his class! I just cant seem to get the link to work? Do I have to be a memeber of media page?

Hi Jolene – no just click the download button and it will work without doing the membership.

Wow. Yep, she’s using my design. Thanks for pointing that out. I looked at her shop and it looks like she’s stealing designs from other bloggers too. If that’s what she needs to do to make money, I guess whatever.

How do you print multiple cards on one sheet of card stock?

How can you print more than one on a page?

Reply

21 Lori February 8, 2013 at 12:42 pm

It’s too wide for that when you factor in printer margins

How did you attach the koolaid packet to the card? Just dont want to ruin the mix inside. Thanks!

23 Lori February 11, 2013 at 5:35 pm

I used scotch tape – tested it first to be sure it didn’t rip the envelope open when removing it. It was just fine ;)
