Valentine’s Card Box for Second Grader

EG’s teacher sent home a notice that the class needed to come to school on Valentine’s Day with all the goodies

We didn’t have a box for the cards. The weather turned icky and I didn’t want to go buy stuff…
So I upcycled a box from an Ornament Girl kit into a Valentine’s Box!

I cut a slot in the top — opposite the side that would open. The entire box was then covered in the red tissue paper that came with the kit. I held everything together with packing tape.

I cut out the heart ornament image from the kit and glued it onto the front of the box.

It looked kind of drab.

​I got lace, red ric-rac, and my hot glue gun out to create a pretty edge around the heart picture.

That’s it. Done.

Took until 30 minutes from start to finish. Yay for simple, fast, and free projects.
