These options are both super cute and easy to make! Don’t you love creating things like this with the kids!? So FUN. ✂
Feel free to improvise from these ideas and use supplies you may already have on hand. Such a great way to re-purpose empty boxes!

Cute ideas. But I miss the days when decorating your Valentine’s box was much less involved. 😕 Some construction hearts and maybe some glitter. And the kids did all the work.
I totally think it can be like that too! Love it all ❤️
These are super cute. Thanks!!😍
Oh thanks!
These are great, thank you! My son needs to decorate one this weekend. I can’t wait to show him these ideas!
Very cute! We’re doing the free home depot builder heart box tomorrow.
Oh that sounds like fun!
This is a he best craft ever😄😄
Cool same
Oh thanks! So nice.
Thank you so much for the printable templates! This is such a cute idea! Love it!
You’re so welcome!
Last year we caught the kits on sale at michaels. My daughter loved creating her unicorn box and it was pretty inexpensive.
