Secret message Valentine's Day cards by Mini-ecoSecret Valentine Messages

Mama Kate of Mini-eco shares this fab idea for making "secret message in a bottle" Valentine's Day cards -- we're sure this is one candy-free card that's sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

To get started with your own secret Valentine's Day messages, dip a Q-Tip in lemon juice (AKA "invisible ink") and write out your personalized messages on the cards. Once the card is placed over heat, the message will show up! For the bottles, Kate said that she used an old vanilla extract bottle, and the mini colorful hearts were easily made with a heart-shaped hole puncher. Overall, an incredibly clever and unique card idea that the kiddos are sure to love!
