Valentine Project: Playing Card Coupon Booklets w/template

These coupon booklets are the perfect Valentine gift!

We love celebrating Valentine’s Day, but it’s not a big present-fest around here. Instead, we like to have a nice family dinner and a few little gifts. Something that my kids love is making and receiving Valentine coupons.

This year I’m giving my little family Valentine Coupon books made out of a deck of playing cards.

I bought the playing cards at the grocery store. They were a double pack of cards for $1.99. Then I made the coupons. If you would like to use them, they are HERE. You can customize them and put whatever you want on your coupons.

I thought of each member of my family and what they would think is fun. Some of the coupons I made up were:

Kids:

Lunch with Mom
Movie and Popcorn
Bowling with a Friend
1 Hour Computer Time
Trip to the Gelato Shop
Manicure
Pedicure
Mom will do your Chores for 1 Day
Dad will do your Chore for 1 Day
Trip to the Aquarium
Breakfast in Bed
Video Game Rental
Video Night
1 Hour TV Time
Trip to the Mall and a Pair of Earrings
Shoe Shopping

Some for my Husband were:

Back Rub
Pie of Your Choice
Candlelit Dinner for Two
Breakfast in Bed
Night without Kids
Foot Massage
and a few unmentionables

First I printed off the coupons, trimmed them and attached them to the cards.

Then I punched a hole in the cards.

Then I took some big jewelry links and threaded the chain through the hole in the card.

Then I cut ten 5-inch lengths of ribbon and tied them on each of the round rings {found in the jewelry section of Micheal’s}.

I then attached the round rings to the smaller jewelry links by opening up the links and then closing them when they were attached. If you can’t find large round rings, you could use keychain rings (also found in the jewelry section).

The last thing I did was hot glue a vintage button on the top of each coupon book. And then cut the prongs off a fabric scrapbook brad and hot glued it on top of the button! And that’s it! Now you have Valentine’s Day Coupons!!
