SUPPLIES:
- Paper Mache boxes (I Found this set of 3 from Michael’s Craft Store)
- Elmer’s Glue
- Fun colored duct tape
- Red or pink felt sheet
- Scissors
- Valentine’s stickers & other embellishments you like
And here are some more goodies we found…
STEP 1:
Trace the top of your box onto a piece of felt, then cut it out and glue it to the top of your box.
STEP 2:
Time to decorate!
Because we found some transparent polka-dot tape I quickly painted the box white using some spray paint. I just didn’t want the brown box showing through my cute polka-dots!
Next we finished decorating our boxes with duct tape, heart stickers, some fun washi-tape, and whatever other embellishments my kiddos managed to scrounge up.
STEP 3:
Time to make it sweet!
And then lastly, we filled them with some of our favorite candies! I put a tiny bit of tissue paper in our boxes to make them a little bit fancier.
STEP 3:
Give it away!
Now you can give your box away to your favorite Valentine…
I hope you enjoyed this Valentine’s Day gift idea!
Make sure to send me some pics if you create your own boxes! I’d love to see how they turn out!
Thanks for this sweet Valentine’s project! Actually, doing a project like this with children can brighten any day.
