- Start by painting the clothespins or decorating them however you want. Let the kids have fun with this step – glitter can be a super fun addition! And messy… đŸ™‚
- Fill your Ziploc baggie 1/2 way with M&Ms candy and seal.
- Fold the zipper portion of the bag over so you can’t see it. Then twist the bag in the middle, and tie it off tight with a pipe cleaner.
- Twist the ends of the pipe cleaner to form your love bug antennae!
- Insert a clothespin right in the middle of your butterfly where the pipe cleaner is holding your bag together.
- Finally, decorate your love bug craft with a cute little face, or glue on some googly eyes!
- (these are fine to make for your own family but if you are making them as a gift be safe and use the individual M & M bags and NOT loose candies)

Thank you ladies for sharing Valentine ideas! Your grandmother, Gene, and I were best of friends. I miss her dearly. Gene/Milt would be very proud of you. You all have a beautiful family. I bet the kids keep you busy. I will put this idea to use with my twin grandson’s. I enjoy reading your post. Regards to your Mom & aunt Jackie. God Bless
