I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about Valentine’s Day already! It’s Chelsea, swinging by with bow and arrow in hand, to help you celebrate the people you love this Valentine’s Day. And let’s be real – I have no complaints about celebrating love (not to mention that conversation hearts are one of my favorite food groups). So let’s get down to business! Today’s DIY is easy beyond belief; we’ve got a free download for you to print on just about anything you can imagine!
I decided to try it out on a brown lunch bag – I pack my husband lunch every now and then and I thought it would be a sweet surprise! If you’d like to do the same, follow along! All you have to do is center a brown lunch bag on a sheet of printer paper. Tape down the open end of the bag even with the edge of the paper that you’ll feed into your printer. I used three small strips of tape, which worked fine. Download this file, and print away!
After you’ve printed, the fun part is filling in the blanks! You could go with a famous duo (like Lucy and Ricky or Popeye and Olive Oyl), something sweet for your little ones (like bunnies and carrots or cereal and milk), or something a little more grown-up (like martinis and olives or toes and pedicures). You can also add other little touches – I sealed my bags with some pretty washi tape.
If you want to branch out and print on something else, go for it! Cardstock, glassine baggies, just about anything would work. The design prints at approximately 3″ x 3″, so just make sure that your material is large enough for the design. Now go get your Valentine on! xoxo

Superbe idée ! Merci !
How do I make the printable smaller? It fills a whole printer paper and I would like it smaller to do on some other notecards….help!! I love this idea and would like to be able to use it asap for my classroom Valentines for kids to their parents.
Hey Chris! All of that should be able to be adjusted in your print settings – just scale to the size you need. Hope this helps!
I tried this, but the picture only comes out half way and it is very small on the bag. What am I doing wrong?
Birdie, if the file is downloading and displaying properly on your screen when you open it, it must be a print setting. Make sure it’s set to print at 100%. If it’s only printing halfway that sound like it could be an issue with your printer. I hope this helps!
