Valentine's Boxes {Craft Project}

*This post was available as an Early Access offering from my Patreon page.  If you would like to get first access to free tutorials, patterns and more, please check it out!  https://www.patreon.com/AtmosphericNoiseStudios 

Everyone has been there.  It's the night before Valentine's day and you need a box to take to school and receive all your treats in, but you didn't plan ahead and now you need to rush to cobble something together.  I'm here to tell you, it doesn't need to be difficult and you can make something cool with materials you have in your own house.

Valentine's Boxes Craft Project


Materials Needed:

A cereal box
Brown Kraft paper
Stickers or colored papers
Scissors
Glue



Start with your cereal box and cut a hole where ever you would like people to insert the Valentines.  We did ours on the front side of the box.


Wrap the box in Kraft paper like you would a present, but apply glue under the paper so it adheres to the box.  Find the hole you cut in the cardboard box and cut a slit in the middle of it.


Fold the paper into the box and glue down for a nice opening.


Let your child use their imagination and place stickers, paper cutouts and draw on the box as they want to.
I added a piece of ribbon to the top of the box to serve as a carrying handle.




Enjoy your Valentine's box that you made in less than an hour!!

Scouting Sunday #8: 10 Valentines Crafts, plus Wreaths!



So this week, the series is going to be devoted to Valentines Crafts.  You've got just over a month to get your craft on, and if you're like me, you're starting now!   I hope you enjoy what I've found!  If you're a blogger and you've been "Scouted" be sure to grab a button at the bottom to put on your blog or post!



I love this tree project for kids!  It looks like it will be easy enough to let my messy 2 year old do too!  Check out Pretty Valentine Trees by scrumdilly-do!





I love making ball jar votive holders for the holidays.  I literally ooohed out loud when I found them, and they will be on my to do list for this holiday too!  Check out Votive Candle Holders at Homemade Serenity.










I think this project is for a card, but I would actually do it as a small piece of canvas art.  Check out this grungeboard Valentine Art tutorial by Balzer Designs.









I love the idea of giving a gift that will grow and bloom.  These are filled with daffodil sprouts, which bloom early and are beautiful!  Check out the tutorial for this Fabric Can Planter by Family Chic!






Cute and simple, I loved this project from the moment that I saw it.  I already have the tags all cut and ready, started gluing and ran out of time.  I can't wait to get back to it! Check out this Valentine's Day Craft by My Blessed Life.




I'd share the link, but it looks like this domain has expired.  You get the idea though, glue conversation hearts onto a matte or a piece of paper and frame it.  Awesome!






abc..i heart u!  This craft has so many possibilities- you could use the wooden letters like in the tutorial, or go instead for stamps, foam letters, stencils or just print it off your computer for instant art!  Check out the tutorial at Color Me Happy: Everyday Inspiration.






Another project from my "Easy Peasy" radar, is this Subway Art Printable from Project Inspire.  Simply print, frame and hang (or display).  Love it!







Don't have a heart stamp at home?  Whip one up yourself with something from around the house!  Check out Rust and Sunshine's Heart Stamp Tutorial.




No holiday crafting would be complete without something from Martha Stewart.  If you're more of the secret romance type, check out these Secret Messages!




And if you thought we were done... you were wrong!  Here's  a boatload of wreaths to inspire you!


Hope you all love this edition of Scouting Sunday!
