I knew I wanted to send College Boy some goodies for Valentine’s Day and when I saw these lips and mustache photo props by Amy at Living Locurto , I knew exactly what to do.
I started by downloading the files for the photo props here. Then cut them out and adhered them to bamboo skewers. These were great but I thought they needed a holder.
I grabbed an empty tea tin and covered it with scrapbook paper and coordinating washi tape.
I had some film strip rub-ons in my stash so I applied those and then used up some alphabet stickers I had on hand to spell out “Photo Props”
I figured he and his friends could have some fun posing for silly pictures. This is exactly the kind of thing he and his friens like to do and they mostly hang out as a group. But that was only part of the treats for the goodie box .
Of course the bags are filled with assorted chocolate hearts, Reeses, Nestle Crunch, Butterfinger ( I didn’t even eat any!) Laffy Taffy, and some Valentine’s themed temporary tattoos.

You are the best outta-town college mom ever! Really cute, Carol - and I love how you designed it to appeal to guys, so he won't be embarrassed by girly pink stuff!
Carol, you are an upcycling genius! I love the tea tin -- especially the typewriter key lettering. And the mustache motif -- my favorite!!
That is so fun! I'll bet they will love using them!
