We received notes from the school that the kids needed Valentine's boxes for their party on Valentine's Day. I made the mistake of getting on pinterest and the rest is history.
I let Charlotte pick and she wanted a princess castle box. So I put these boxes together and...
...created this! I didn't have to buy a single thing. I used a whole lot of hot glue though. We have an abundance of princess stickers and that really put the icing on the cake, I think. :) Plus the gold "sprinkley" paper, according to Charlotte.
It was then time to make something for Tommy. I gave him the options between a dinosaur and a space shuttle. Can you guess what he chose?
I had an old toner box from work that I thought would work perfectly. I had to cut it in half and it was perfect.
With another crap ton of hot glue, it really started coming together. However, I didn't have anything white to cover it. I looked at a couple different stores for bright white contact paper and didn't find any. I decided to just buy plain ol' white card stock.
Here's the finished product. I printed off NASA and American flag logos for the wings.
They both loved their Valentine's boxes. I felt awful that they really couldn't help since I was using a hot glue gun and an Xacto knife. Not for kids, folks. But they did help pick them out and they helped adorn the boxes with their stickers. ANNDD I got mega hugs for it sooooo.... totes worth it. :)
