Valentine’s Day is always a good time to be a little crafty.  These iPod Valentines are just some of the cutest things I’ve ever seen!  The supplies are inexpensive.  The steps are simple.  The impact is huge.  How cool would it be to give one of these to all the kids in class?

These might work wrapped around a Revolution Bar instead of the conversation hearts.  What natural or organic goody can we substitute for the earbuds?  We would love to hear your creative and thrifty ideas.

Maybe you can use gum drops. I am not sure if there are any made with an organic label or not but so much else is that it is reasonable to assume they may.

I have not figured out a substitution for the ear pieces… but, instead of the conversation hearts (which I think are gross) I plan to use the personal-size tissues. … you know, the small packages you can keep in your purse?

I think they are a perfect sub!

I was thinking, that maybe using rolo’s as the ear buds?…
