DIY Valentine Gift Card Box Materials
Step 1
Cut your tissue paper into squares.
Tip:
Step 2
Take the lid off of your box and set it to the side.
Step 3
Spread glue on the bottom of your box.
Step 4
Add squares of tissue paper to the glue.
Step 5
Continue covering your box and lid with glue and tissue paper until your entire box is covered.
Tip:
- Do not add too many layers. If you do, your lid won’t go back on. Your box will also take longer to dry.
Step 6
Next, allow your box to dry.
Step 7
Add your washi tape to your box so that it looks like a present.
Tip:
- Start on the bottom of your box and cover it first. Then add your lid to the top to easily line up the top “ribbons”.
Step 8
Next, add your Valentine sticker to the top, center of your box lid.
Step 9
Now cut a strip of your cardstock that is 1-2 inches wide.
Step 10
Fold your strip of cardstock accordion style so that you have 9 small rectangles.
Step 11
Write your Valentine’s message on the center 7 rectangles (leaving one black at the top and one blank at the bottom). If you want, you can totally steal mine:
For all you do
Throughout the year
Here’s a gift
To bring you cheer!
Happy
Valentine’s
Day!
Step 12
After you’ve written your Valentine’s message, glue the top blank rectangle to the underside of your lid.
Step 13
Next, glue the bottom blank rectangle to the front of your gift card.
Step 14
Allow your glue to dry.
Step 15
Place your gift card in the bottom of your box with the glued side up.
Step 16
Lastly, place your lid on the box.
Now you can turn procrastination into a pretty present. Your husband will appreciate the thoughtfulness and you’ll love how quickly it comes together. Your husband can totally reuse the box later to surprise you with an easy gift. You have to love that multipurpose packaging! Planning a date night for Valentine’s Day, too?
