Make These Conversation Heart Piñata Care Packages For Your BFFs

Conversation Heart Piñata Care Packages for valentine's day

I’m that type of person who loves Valentine’s Day. My favorite color is pink and my favorite shape is a heart, so basically, what is there not to like? Bring on all the celebrity crush cookies, the heart-shaped photo booths and chocolatey treats! If you’re like me, you might have several long-distance BFFs you want to send valentines to.

That's why this year, I’m going to go beyond the usual card and send out care packages. If you’ve ever been on the receiving end of a care package, you would know that it’s one of the best things ever. Just knowing that this small gesture is probably going to make someone’s day fills my heart with sparkles and rainbows.

So for this Valentine’s Day, we’re showing you how to make these conversation heart piñata care packages that you can actually mail to your besties! These adorable treats are sure to surprise your best friends and make for some cute Valentine's Day decor too. Let’s get started!

Materials and Tools:

Instructions:

  1. Fold a piece of cardstock in half and draw half a heart along the creased edge. Cut out.
  2. Use that heart shape to trace two shapes on cardboard. Cut out.
  3. Cut 2-inch-wide strips of cardboard. Tape the strips around the sides of one of the cardboard hearts.
  4. Fill the heart with goodies. We used candy, poppers and confetti, naturally.
  5. Tape the box closed with the second cardboard heart.
  6. Trace another heart out of paper (so that you’re not using a paper heart with a crease in it). Glue that heart to the cardboard.
  7. Cut one-and-a-half-inch strips of felt and fringe. Glue the fringe all over the cardboard and trim.
  8. Cut out letters in printable. Trace onto a different colored felt and cut out.
  9. Glue felt letters on heart to make a phrase.
  10. If you’re mailing the piñata heart, write your friend’s address on the back.

Alright, it’s time to go back to your kindergarten days when you learned how to cut a heart! Fold a piece of cardstock in half and draw half a heart along the creased edge. Cut out. Use that heart shape to trace two shapes on cardboard. Cut out.

Cut two-inch-wide strips of cardboard. Tape the strips around the sides of one of the cardboard hearts.

Fill the heart with goodies. We used candy, poppers and confetti, naturally. After all, sugar and sparkles are the way to a best friend’s heart.

Tape the box closed with the second cardboard heart. Trace another heart out of paper (so that you’re not using a paper heart with a crease in it). Glue that heart to the cardboard.

Cut one-and-a-half-inch strips of felt and fringe. Glue the fringe all over the piñata. You’ll probably want to trim as you go, so your piñata looks like a heart.

Cut out the letters in the printable (or freehand them if you're feeling adventurous). Trace onto a different colored felt and cut out. Glue the felt letters on the heart to make a phrase. Bring up a timeless inside joke or stick to the classic conversation heart phrases.

Voilà!

If you’re mailing the piñata heart, write your friend’s address on the back.

Aaaaand you’re done! Seriously, it can't get much cuter than this.

Oops, looks like some confetti already spilled!

I know EXACTLY who this one is going to!

Happy Valentines and Galentines Day!

We have made it to Leo Season! As we rise above the emotive waters of Cancer season, the mist begins to clear. Did you feel a pulling in your heartstrings and a desire to get to the bottom of what has been left in limbo? The good news is that the Sun in Leo highlights your true passion and gumption. It will also extend a positive outlook in your life no matter what – but bravery is a must. This is your moment to step forward and realize your dreams. With all this said, let’s see what is in store for your zodiac sign this week!

Your Weekly Horoscope Themes For July 22-28

Mariam Antadze/Pexels

We kick off this week with Leo Season on July 22. You will be smiling and feel positive and hopeful these next few weeks. Also, there can be periods of grandiosity or indulgence. Be mindful and measure your actions. Love and relationships will enter a new phase, such as fiery exchanges, grand gestures, and drama. The key to working with this solar season is to explore your creative side and approach life and love with pure intention, like a child. Shifting your mindset and factoring in integrity will radiate support in areas of interest.

Pride can be a major setback. Balancing this out will require you to glow up and genuinely cater to your dreams.

Speaking of balance, your will is tested on July 23 with the Sun-Pluto opposition, prompting you to accept your need to change your ways. This celestial event will enable you to realize your capabilities as you learn how to let go of the outmoded in your life story.

Make this your cosmic mantra. I attract peace as I accept and release the past.

The messenger planet, Mercury, phases into Virgo, its natural expression on July 25. Our thinking and process of getting things done will be methodical and sensible. Being overly analytical and critical can be a sticking point, potentially leading to work conflicts or delays. Luckily, you will have a sound mindset and focus with the Sun-Mars sextile also occurring on this day. Get ready and know that the Universe will hold space and support your dreams. All it takes is belief and to take your first step.

Learn to trust in the process and take this opportunity to complete or review future tasks before Mercury retrograde begins next month.

Chiron retrograde begins on July 26 and will complete its backspin motion until December 29. Anytime a retrograde occurs for any planet or asteroid, you need review and reflection. In the sign of Aries, the asteroid Chiron prompts us to evaluate our ability to take ownership and lead.

For any past unresolved issues, Chiron retrograde extends the chance for you to heal and rebuild your confidence.

After confirming their breakup rumors were, in fact, only rumors, Justin and Hailey Bieber broke the internet on May 9, 2024 by announcing they're expecting! The couple has talked about wanting to start a family in the past, and I am so excited for this new chapter in their lives. A source tells People that Justin is so excited to help "raise his baby. They have a name that they think is perfect. They’re also starting to decorate a nursery. They can’t wait to meet the baby." And thanks to one of Hailey's recent Instagram posts, fans are thinking the couple is expecting a daughter. Check out Hailey Bieber's pregnancy announcement — and the photos — below!

How has Hailey Bieber's pregnancy been so far?

David Sims/W Magazine

Hailey Bieber revealed to W Magazine that her pregnancy was difficult in the beginning because while she "wanted the freedom to go out and live my life," she felt like she was hiding this important aspect of her life. "I probably could have hid it until the end, but I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy outwardly," she admits. "I felt like I was hiding this big secret, and it didn’t feel good.”

But like many other expectant mothers, Hailey's also getting adjusted to the idea that her life with Justin won't be the same after the baby comes. “In the beginning [of pregnancy], it was super emotional for me," she continues. "Like, ‘I love this human so much. How can I possibly bring someone else into this?’ I’m trying to soak in these days of it being Justin and me, just the two of us.”

That's something every first-time mother has to come to terms with. But the good news is that, while this change is a huge one, it's not a bad one!

What is Hailey Bieber's baby name?

Hailey Bieber posted on Instagram on May 25, 2024 dressed in red — and a strawberry pimple patch & cherry blossom nails to boot. "Little cherry blossoms on my nails little cherry blossom in my belly," she captioned the post. Fans are taking this as a sign that Hailey and Justin are having a daughter!

"A GIRL CONFIRMED AHHHHHH," one user comments, while another agrees, "baby bieber is a girl 🥳🥳."

But Cosmopolitan also points out that this could tease their baby's name — and Blossom would be the cutest name EVER!

When did Hailey Bieber announce her pregnancy?

www.instagram.com

On May 9, the couple separately posted nearly identical Instagram carousels of what looks like a vow renewal ceremony. In the photos, which overlook the mountains and feature a super cute rope swing, Hailey can be seen cradling her baby bump while wearing the most beautiful white lacy gown.

Hailey Bieber once promised GQ Hype that when she did get pregnant, the internet would be the last to know. "I want kids so bad but I get scared," Hailey Bieber also told The Sunday Times. "It's enough that people say things about my husband or my friends. I can't imagine having to confront people saying things about a child."

What have Justin and Hailey said about their pregnancy?

And TBH, Hailey Bieber's pregnancy just proves how in love Justin and Hailey are!! "words could never truly describe the beauty of who you are," Hailey captioned an Instagram post celebrating Justin's 30th birthday. "love of my life, for life."

"YOU MAKE LIFE MAGIC," Justin Bieber said on his own Instagram. "OBSESSED WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. LOVE YOU BUM BUM."

I literally cannot get enough of Justin and Hailey, and I can't wait to see what their growing family looks like over the next couple of years. Stay tuned for an official gender and baby name reveal (should they choose to share). I'm certain that this is gonna be one cute kid!
