These couldn't be much easier to make. I designed the images in Gimp -- one pink and one red to match the whistles -- and them put them into a pdf file that I could have printed at Staples copy& print center, my new favorite place.
I had them printed in color on white cardstock for about $1 per sheet. When I got them home, I just cut the cards out with my paper trimmer and used an X-acto knife to cut an X in the upper right corner.
The whistle just pops right in that X and the paper holds it in place. Quick and easy, like I like it. And super cute to boot!
I don't know if you can still get the heart-shaped whistles, but Target carries some lip-shaped whistles in their Valentine's section that would work beautifully. Or you could punch a hole and stick a blow pop in there. I love to have options!
I think D's 5th grade class is going to love them. So what if his teacher hates me. He's my last kid going to that school and he'll be in middle school next year anyway. No problem.
