When I was a kid, I loved getting to spend time in the workshop constructing my own Valentine’s Day card boxes. I’ve always been a bit of a DIY weirdo, but Valentine’s Day has always been my chance to really let my freak flag fly!
My mother would join in on my valentine’s box brainstorming and help me come up with clever concepts; she’d then go out and get the necessary materials (or scrounge them from the recycling bin) for me to put those concepts into action.
For Valentine’s Day, my mom always made us each a special mailbox out of a recycled cereal box or shipping container and a few other store-bought items.
Naturally, she would come up with the best ideas, and we would put them into action. This was one of the occasions when my three older brothers and I would cooperate. Each and every one of us had a blast creating our boxes.
Ideas for Valentine’s boxes
I have some fantastic suggestions for you if you’re searching for some creative Valentine’s Day box ideas for your little ones. Although they appear elegant, they can be made using many common household items, including recyclables. They also take little time to assemble.
Because what we all want is a project that 1) is enjoyable to make, and 2) has the best possible appearance with the least amount of work. Maybe not always, but at least for young toddlers who have short attention spans!
Suitable Surfaces
These inventive Valentine’s Day boxes may be made from just about anything! I advise preserving as much paper from the recycling bin as you can, including cereal boxes, shoe boxes, mailing boxes, oatmeal containers, magazine holders, paper plates, and so on.
It’s entertaining to consider a container’s shape and imagine what it might be. I enjoy doing this with many kinds of crafts, but this kind of holiday craft is particularly enjoyable.
Use of Paint
I suggest the Apple Barrel brand for these projects (the ones that need paint). Its water-based, acrylic, and American-made construction are the causes. It’s kid-friendly and simple to clean up. It’s also affordable!
Your kids will love these homemade Valentine’s Day boxes. Probably including you as well. I won’t hold it against you if you make one to bring to work and leave on your desk. Look at the suggestions below!
