Valentines: Twinkie Minions!

Happy Valentines Day...er...again!  

Still trying to find Valentine's cards for your kid's class?  Opt for home made!  Despicable Me 2 is SUPER popular right now, with their lovable little minions and all.  So spread the love with some delicious little minions of your own! Variations of this Valentine have been filling up Pinterest lately, so I took my favorite parts of them and made THESE:

Wanna give it a try?  Let's go!

You will need:

-Scissors

-Tape

- Glue

-Marker

-Construction Paper

- Twinkies

- Heart Stickers

- Minion Print Out (Thanks to Create, Celebrate, Explore)

-Heart Print out (Thanks to Sassy Dealz)

Minion Template

 1. Cut out the minions and add heart stickers to the front.

2. Cut out the heart template. Cut out the heart leaving a 1/4 inch boarder around the heart.

3. Glue hearts to pink construction paper and cut around with another 1/4 inch(ish) boarder, see below:

4. Assemble!  Wrap the minion around the Twinkie and tape in the back.  Then tape the heart at a slight angle on one side of the back.

TA-DA!  TWINKIE MINIONS!

I also had my little boy sign "From Joey" on the back of each heart before taping the hearts on: it was a great way for him to practice his "J's" since they've been backwards lately!

*If you find yourself having trouble finding Twinkies, it's because Hostess went out of business and now Little Debbie makes them.  Due to copy right issues (or something, whatever) they are now called "Cloud Cakes".  Lame right?!  Whatevs, they're still Twinkies to me!

Let me know what you think and how they turned out for you in the comment section, I love reading your thoughts!

Happy Crafting!
