I was inspired by Jon and Kate plus eight. I just wanted to get that off my chest.
THEY had them as little mailboxes and it was cute from Pottery Barn. Side note- did you know you could ask Google "bags on chairs for Valentines day on Jon and Kate" and it will tell you?
I wanted to put my spin on it and put the pantry challenge to the craft room and just use what I had. I took some red and white felt that I had leftover from Gianna's cat in the hat-hat and some heart material.
I loved how they turned out. Each front is different and each back is different. I used my sewing machine for the stitching and embroidered their names on the front.
They open up in the middle and I'll fill them with cute, fun, Valentine things. Kinda like a Valentine stocking.
Gianna asked where Daddy's was. I said truthfully that I was out of material.
She said- Maybe next year Daddy, you'll get a Valentines heart if you are nice to Mommy. ;)
And one of my favorite verses that inspired me:
1John 4
7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

it's funny bc before the girls were born I saw that Valentines episode and wrote all the ideas to do with my girls down in a notebook! The backpacks on the back of the chair were at the top of this list!
