My girls are giving out Valentines at school again this year. Sophie chose to give out Hershey’s Kisses and I knew I wanted to create a silly (and so fitting) printable to go with them.
I had made the pig graphic last year for the girls’ springtime piggies birthday party last year (they were born in the Year of the Pig). I added a heart and a lipstick kiss to create Hogs and Kisses!

Here’s how I assembled the Hogs and Kisses Valentines:
Materials: Color printer, white cardstock, 2-inch round paper punch, 3/4-inch round paper punch, regular hole punch (1/4-inch is good), 1/8-inch ribbon or twine, Hershey’s Kisses, plastic bags (I used the kind without a zip top).
Directions:
Use a 2-inch round paper punch for the large circle Punch a small hole at the top of the tag. Either you or your kiddo write his/her name in the space after the “From:” (Note: I created mine with Sophie’s name pre-printed on them. The design in the printable will have a space for your kiddo’s name. I had to remove the “to you!” to make more room.)
Use a 3/4-inch paper punch for the small designs.
I put the small punches through my Xyron sticker machine…
…and stuck them to the bottom of the Hershey’s Kisses.
I found some plastic bags at Michaels in their cake decorating department (Wilton’s brand). I filled it with six Hershey’s Kisses and tied a ribbon to the tag, which tied around the bag to close it.
All done. With one. Only 24 more to go!
