These were so easy to make. I found the idea on the Family Fun website.
What you need:
4x7 piece of cardstock, scored at 2", 25/8", 5" & 5 5/8"
2 pieces of string (I used yarn)
Aluminum foil circles (this is the tedious part -- to cut without tearing)
Sticky strip & tape
Box of candy hearts & two mini Reese's PB cups
iPod faces -- http://a.familyfun.go.com/Resources/...ockCandy_3.pdf
Super quick and I think they will be a great little Valentine for DD's teachers & aides.
Thanks for looking!

That is an awesome idea. I needed something for my nieces that are 10 and 12 and so into their IPod's. They are going to love these. Thanks for sharing such a fun idea!

I saw them in Family Fun too! They turned out great I am going to have to remember this idea for when my son gets a little older. Let us know how the teachers like them.

We made 70 of these Saturday night for Valentine's for the kids' classes, same colors too. What I love is that the 1-3/4" circle punch worked perfectly for the dial. One of the girls told me a kid in her class made them too but used red licorice for the headphone cord. That is a really good idea too.

OK first thanks for sharing this, I used to get Family Fun but don't now. Here is maybe a helpful hint on the foiling the RCups. What I did is carefully unwrap and flip the foil over so the silver is showing out that way no hassle in cutting or tearing foil. BTW I love the licorice idea I am using REXLACE for the cord and it looks "real" and was only $.29/yd. I am making them as I type I know last minute gifts for some special kids. I think they will love them!! TFS!!
