DIY Glow Stick Valentines

I love handmade Valentines, but let’s face it – as a working mom, it’s next to impossible to find time to make anything. Often times I scour Pinterest (after my son is sleeping) to find cute, crafty ideas that are easy, simple and inexpensive to make.

I was looking for another non-candy option for my son’s classmates this year when I saw this cute idea from Delia Creates for Glow Stick Valentines and had to re-create it:
