SweetHeart Candy Surprise Box

You need a fun way to give someone special a valentine? Well, here's one way to do it! From colored paper and cardboard, to a small master piece that will make someone feel special!

• Colored paper
• Thin cardboard (shoe box)
• Colored permanent markers
• Pencil
• Glue gun + glue
• Scissors

Draw both sides of your box onto paper.

Cut two sides that are 1 by 3 1/2 inches . Then, two sides that are 6 by 1 inches .

Now cut two pieces of paper the size of 3 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches .

Now draw out and cut a tab that will fit the size of the width of the box. After that, cut a little rectangular indent and fold the corners.

Now that you have finished cutting your paper, place your pieces of cut paper on thin cardboard, and trace them.

Once you have finished cutting the cardboard, match the pieces of cardboard and the pieces of paper together in pairs as the picture shows above.

Now, squeeze hot glue onto the cardboard, and one by one glue the pairs together.

Now, for the first part of the box, glue the fake pull tab onto one of the 6 by 1 inch strips of paper.

Before you glue more of your box, draw out the design for your valentine, so that it looks similar to this.

Once you have your design drawn out, take permanent markers and color over them with the colors of your choice.

Now, hold both the pull tab section and the body of the box together, and glue them together. Do the same with the rest of the pieces.

When you have finished gluing everything together, look it over again, and maybe put extra glue in a couple of places where it is lacking glue.

Now that you have finished cutting, coloring, and gluing your box together, write a nice note or put anything of your choice inside the Sweet Heart Candy Surprise Box! 🙂
