How to Make a Basic Valentine Box
The base method every themed box uses: a covered shoebox with a card slot in the lid.
How to make it
- Choose a shoebox or tissue box. Tape the lid on if using a shoebox.
- Cover it in wrapping paper, coloured paper or paint.
- Cut a slot 1 cm wide and 12 cm long in the top — big enough for cards and small treats.
- Add the child’s name on the front so it doesn’t get mixed up at the party.
- Decorate with your chosen theme.
Tip: Make the slot wider than you think — party cards often come with lollipops attached.
What you need
- Shoebox or tissue box
- Wrapping paper or paint
- Tape and glue
- Craft knife (adult use)
