Valentine Candy Boxes

Do your kids give valentines to their friends? I haven’t heard what our school is planning this year but I love making something special with my daughters for them to give to their friends. This year we made these cute paper candy boxes to hold Lindt Chocolate Truffles. What a special little treat, I don’t think anyone will turn it down!

Directions:


Download the free SVG file linked below. I was able to get four on one page.
The black lines cut and the red lines need to be changed to score.
 


This is an example of the cut file. Turn the design away from yourself, place the two pieces with the hearts together, take one of the other side flaps and place it over the heart shapes to hold the box together. Insert the Lindt chocolate and finish closing the box.


Yum!


Yeap, we made a lot of them. 


While the boxes were complete, for my youngest daughter, we made a heart tag to place on top.
The Maker wrote the words and then cut the shape.

If you would like the SVG for the heart you can download it here. [heart tag]

Modern Art

Decorating for Valentine’s Day or just showing someone you love them? You can create this piece of modern art with just a few steps. I’ve placed mine on our fireplace mantle. 

This project is a part of Tape Technologies Design Team for the month of February 2018. We were asked to design using their brushed metal vinyl. This project used Red and Silver. The graphic is one I created and will offer in this post as a free svg.
