Valentines Box for 9 year old?

Hey Ladies! I know that you all are very creative. My niece has to make a valentines box to hold her valentines for school. There's a contest for the prettiest & the most unique. Any Ideas? TIA!

Re: Valentines Box for 9 year old?

  • i saw a really cool idea where u get a regular tin heart shaped box,but u could spice it up by getting just a regular box and maybe doing a flower collage all over it. Then, inside you place heart shaped cookie cutters of different sizes in the bottom and then fill the cutters with chocolates, m&ms, jelly beans, etc. It looks really cool!

  • You could use a shoebox or a basket and hot glue different types of candy all over it to cover it,....probably time consuming!

  • My twin goddaughters (8) wanted something hip but definitely NOT THE SAME  Big Smile   So, for one we did a shoebox covered with chocolate brown and then covered it with different kinds of pink hearts...different shades, pattern, rhinestone hearts, glittery...but all pink.  The other one wanted wedding...so we did the shoebox in ivory, added lace and ruffled eyelet, pearls, sequins, etc....and then made a wedding looking monogram out of her initials for the top.

    My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!
  • I think lots of hearts is a cute idea, mix patterns, colors, maybe make some conversation hears, and layer them all over the box.
  • Thanks for the ideas, now I just have to get her to like one of them! :)
