Laura Kelly,

These little monsters are filled with love and make a fabulous candy-free Valentine's Day treat. They are adorable on microwave popcorn packets but could also be attached to other goodies or given as a standalone Valentine.

To create them you will need the following supplies:

  • Decorative papers
  • Aleene's Tacky School Glue
  • Scissors
  • Embellishments (buttons, googly eyes, etc.)
  • Sharpie

Directions:

Cut out your pieces. You can use a pattern or cut your monster into whatever shape you like.  You will need a body, two legs, two arms, two antennae, feet, hands and hearts.
