Happy Valentine's Day!!

Valentine's Day is a wonderful crafters day, so I know you will really enjoy making this Valentine's Day craft. You can use this Valentine Card Box to store all your lovely Valentine cards. I had so much fun making it. You can follow my instructions or you can let your imagination run wild, and you can make your very own designs.

Supplies and Tools - cardboard Box, Paper - Red, pink, and light purple, Acrylic Paint, Scissors, Glue, Lace, black marker, Heart Shape template, craft store

Cardboard Box
Paper (Red, pink, and light purple)
Acrylic Paint
Scissors
Glue
Lace
A black marker
A Heart Shape template

(For close-up views of images below, just click the pictures.)

1. Cut a hole on the top of your cardboard box. Make the hole big enough so valentines can fit through.

2. Glue purple paper all around you box. As an alternative color, you could use red paper.

3. Let the glue dry so the paper won't slide around.

4. Glue lace around the top edge of the box. You can use tacky glue or you can get an adult to help you hot glue the lace.

5. Glue Pink construction paper to the top of your box and again carefully cut around the opening on the box. Don't seal it up.

6. Now you can decorate your Valentine box. I cut out some hearts from different colored pattern paper and glued them on my box. I then outlined them with with paint. Use this Heart Shape if you have trouble drawing one of your own.

7. Paint hearts and doodle designs all over the box. I wrote 'Happy Valentine's Day' and 'I love you', but you can be as creative as you like with the decorating!

8. And finally, here is my finished Valentine Box. I can't wait to fill it with cards!

9. Here is a close-up view of the finished Valentine Card Box.
