I feel like I haven’t done one of these in awhile! With Valentine’s just 8 days away, I thought it would nice to do a nice little V-Day treat…literally :)

All you have to do is bake your favorite brownie recipe. Or if you’re lazy, you can always buy the ready made one’s at your local grocery store. But don’t worry — Even though I’m quite an amateur, I did bake them myself :) Once cooled and set, form 1 inch balls and roll them into coatings of your choice. I used powdered sugar, cocoa and toffee bits. And yes, if you’re wondering, they do look like truffles! Mmm! As for the packaging, I used small kraft boxes that you can purchase at the store; it can fit approximately 5 brownie bits. Print & cut out the downloadable mini bands I made below {see blue link}. Once you have all the pieces ready, a quick tip is to score the band with a bone folder at the 2″ and 4″ mark for easy assembly. Glue on the band, line the box with wax paper and place the brownies inside. VOILA! An easy DIY Valentine’s treat ready to pass along to your sweethearts. ENJOY!

Hello everyone! I am officially rolling out a new weekly special called “DIY Sunday” and it’s pretty self-explanitory — Every Sunday, I’ll be spotlighting a new craft or recipe in which you can do yourself, and yes, it will always be fun & easy to do!

This week is extra special because it is not only a DIY, but it is also my first printable freebie. So with Christmas right around the corner, I decided to design some pretty neat gift tags to partner your presents with :) Please check out the freebie page to read over the terms of use + get useful tips.

If you decide to download them for your personal use, please email me some pictures :) I’d love to feature what people have done with them. I’ll be producing more freebies, so keep checking back!
