Valentines Day gift ideas to help you make and sell Valentines Day
gifts at Sunday craft markets. 2011 Sunday craft markets should work well as Valentines Day 2011 is on a Monday.
Quick and inexpensive Valentines Day gifts to make.
Have fun, and Good luck!
For the Valentines Day glasses you will need:
1. A wine or champagne glass.
2. Some cellophane
3. Sellotape
4. Ornamental ribbon- red and gold (buy it at most haberdashery or stationers by the metre)
5. A collection of chocolates
6. Bostik adhesive
7. prestik
Cut a circular shape out of the cellophane (use a dinner plate as a template); push the cellophane into the glass. Now put a few chocolates and/or sweets into the glass. Pile them up a bit, and then fold the cellophane up, bunching it together above the chocolates.
Wrap a small piece of sellotape around the cellophane. Near the rim of the glass, put two pieces of sellotape from the cellophane, onto the glass. This will help keep things in place.
Wrap the ribbon around the rim of the glass, and let the ends overlap by 5cm to 7cm.
Cut a wedge out of each end of the ribbon.
Put a small piece of prestik on the rim of the glass, centre the ribbon on the prestik, pull it tight around the glass, and where the ends of the ribbon overlap, secure it with a squish of bostik. A piece of sellotape over this, onto the glass will hold it until the Bostik has dried.
When the bostik is dry, remove the cellophane and fold and arrange the cellophane

Valentines Day baskets
1. Small cane baskets
2. Bostik
3. Ribbon
4. Cellophane
5. Sellotape
6. Biltong
7. Dry wors
8. Chocolates and sweets
The process is very similar to that of the Valentines Day glasses. The cellophane needs to be larger for starters. Fill the basket with a selection of biltong, dry wors and chocolates, lift the cellophane and tie it with a small strip of sellotape.
Fold the cellophane back over the edges of the basket, and pass the ribbon around the basket, from underneath, to overlap at the top. As before, Bostik, sellotape and leave to dry. When dry, remove the sellotape, and ruffle and re-arrange the cellophane.

Make a few hundred small heart shaped chocolates. Cover them with red foil, red striped foil etc. Glue the chocs

A handmade Valentines Day card
Get creative and come up with cute or romantic sayings for Valentines Day cards, and decorate the Valentines Day
cards with foil, ribbons etc. Valentines Day cards do not have to be any particular size; make small Valentines Day
cards, large ones, round ones, triangular ones.
