Nothing says “Valentine’s Day” more than one of those massive heart-shaped boxes of chocolate samplers—but not everyone needs 36 truffles this February. For that Valentine’s vibe, without the candy, buy a sleek, simple red box, and decorate it yourself.
–Add my illustrated bow—keep it plain, color it in or add a name to turn it into a gift tag
–Tie on a real ribbon
–Hand some glitter glue to kids and let them make their own designs
Fill the box with whatever you want—or nothing besides a heartfelt card. A catch-all box this pretty is a gift unto itself—and a bold piece of decor; my friend David Stark filled our shelves with these when he took over our mantel for Valentine’s Day.
What You’ll Need:
- Downloadable Box Bow template
- White cardstock or paper
- Doublestick tape
- Red heart box
How-To:
Step 1 Download Box Bow template, print, and cut out.
Step 2 Attach to box top with doublestick tape.
