Here is another easy Valentine treat to make. First, you need to start with a box of candy hearts. I love sweet tart hearts myself. Then I chose this designer paper that I got at the Dolloar Spot at Target. (The Dollar Spot at Target is truely my weakness.) I cut the designer paper 5 x 71/2. I wrapped it around the box. I used my snail adhesive for the project but you can use sticky strip as well. Do not stick the paper to the box.
Next, I cut a piece of paper for the top 1/2 x 71/2 to wrap around. (If you use double sided paper, cut the first piece 5 x 8 - then fold a 1/2 inch over for the top edge.)
Once that is adhered around, then you want to fold the bottom of the box like you would wrap a present and adhere with snail adhesive. Now you need to remove the box of candy.
Punch holes in the side and insert the ribbon for the handle. If you want a tag on the final project, put it on before you insert the ribbon into the second hole.
Then you insert the box of candy into the box you created and Vola! You have a cute Valentine treat. Another thing you could try, is using any small box, figure out the dimensions and make a holder for anything - a cute little gift or candy treat holder - the ideas are endless.
