How to Make Candy Filled Paper Valentine Treats
You’ll need:
- Cute paper – either scrapbook paper, or make your own with DIY foam stamps
- A sewing machine or needle and thread
- Little candies
Cutting paper hearts for the Valentine’s Day treats
Start by cutting out two hearts that are identical in shape. Place them together with the patterned sides out.
Sewing the paper hearts together
Using a sewing machine or needle and thread, stitch around the heart shape about a quarter-inch in from the edge. Leave a gap about an inch long on one of the sides like shown above.

Filling the paper hearts with Valentine’s Day candy treats
Put the candy inside the heart, and stitch up the gap, sealing the candy inside the heart!
Closing up the paper hearts to keep the candy inside
Trim the threads, and you’re done! You can also write a message on the heart before filling it, or glue on some lace and beads if you’d like.
The fun part!
To get the candy out, just tear the heart open! You can also fill these with coins, squinkies, or small jewelry for a special surprise!
