I was looking for something easy to convert into a Valentine holder. I like how the little flap on an empty K-Cup box folds down...similar to an old-fashioned mailbox. So...a little tissue paper, mod podge and less than an hour later....ta-da!
Everything I used I already had on hand...so this is seriously a $0 project. The tissue paper was leftover from Christmas.
I added a piece of cardstock into the front of the box to make it easier to attach velcro to later. I just glued it in. It was covered with tissue & mod podge, so it doesn't show.
I cut my tissue paper into little squares.
And away we went! Since it was tissue, I did several layers: mod podge/tissue/mod podge/tissue. That also helped make this little cardboard box a lot sturdier.
After it was dry, I added the velcro to make it easy to open & close and fill with Valentines. I also tied gross grain ribbon on for a simple handle.
I also added the rosette to the front to add a little extra texture. It's your basic layered flower rosette.
This was a seriously EASY project!
Happy Valentine's Day!
