I was working on writing one recipe to post for this Friday. But while checking my emails realized that we haven’t made the Valentine Box yet for my daughter’s valentine party. So, changed my plans of recipe and started working on the Valentine box with my daughter. Also, for her teacher I didn’t get anything store bought. But yes got one thick plastic wine glass and filled it with a hearts bouquet.
For her friends she is asking me for the melted crayon hearts that I have shared in my previous post in Craft section.
For Her Friends:
Our Valentine Box
Things you will need:
- Empty Shoe Box
- Wrapping paper
- Foam stickers, Glitter stickers, Ribbons, Felt fabric to decorate
- Scissors
- Tape
Steps:
- Wrap the box as if you are wrapping a present. Do the same thing with lid. We preferred to use the reverse side just for contrast.
- Decorate it as you like with stickers, ribbons, felt fabric. For the felt fabric hearts, we did small running stitches all around the edge of the heart.
- Now, take the lid, mark a rectangle on it and cut it with a sharp knife. This is the drop off slot. You can either cut the whole rectangle and take it out or only cut the three sides and glue a small piece of ribbon as shown in the picture. If it is hard to glue the ribbon then you can stitch it.
After decorating this box, we were thinking why not to make such a kind of box just to store school supplies or anything like clips, pencils, pens, markers etc. It can be used as an organizer too.
And This Is For Her Teacher:
Hearts Bouquet in a Wine glass
You will need:
- Thick plastic wine class
- Construction papers
- Glue
- Felt
- Glitter stickers
- Straws
Steps:
- Cut out the hearts from the construction papers. Cut two hearts per sheet.
- Take one heart cut out, glue the straw on it and then glue the other heart cut out on the top, like a sandwich.
- Decorate the glass and hearts with stickers.
