DIY Candy Box for Valentine's Day

I made a printable template of the box and the lid that can be snagged HERE if you want but it is so easy that you can sure do without the template. It comes in Letter and A4 sizes. I’m also sharing the digital paper used in this tutorial.

Please keep in mind that these free printable templates are for personal use only. No commercial use is allowed.

Firstly, print the template directly on the back of the cardstock you want to use.

The lid can be printed in different or plain cardboard to add some contrast.

Then, once everything is printed, cut out the template.

Fold along the dashed line to give the main box shape.

Then the corners should be folded towards inside the box.

Push all folded corners to the inside and bring all 4 sides of the box together as follows:

The lid is made the same way we made the box but here we apply a dab of hot glue on the corners because the cover is what keeps the box together.

Now, decorate them with white grosgrain ribbon to make a cool contrast.

Glue everything with hot glue and add a cute ribbon bow to make it cute.

Once it’s ready, decorate the inside {I used some flowers and hearts cutouts and I wrote some loving messages}, and you can add any decorative papers, or silhouettes as you like.

When both, the box and lid are ready put some candies, and/or gifts, whatever you would like to give to your loved one.

Finally, put the lid back in place to close the candy box, and voila!

Done! A simple but cute little gift and full of love!
