Valentine's Day Box

Calling all unicorn loving people! Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and as it does we are all about that magical horse. We’re making Unicorn Valentine’s Day boxes to hold all of those treasured cards, candies and trinkets. Raise your hooves in the air, and wave it like you just don’t care because here is the easiest tutorial ever!

The Ultimate Unicorn Box

Most kids bring Valentine’s Day containers, bags or anything to host and exchange their sweet notes and goodies. Last year, I had a wild  hair and decided to make a Valentine’s Day bow with my daughter Madison. When crafting with my kids, nothing brings me more joy along with aggravation. To get the maximum amount of joy, the more simplified the better. We ran to Michaels  and grabbed a “storage” bin that was $5 and as cute as could be. The box was already beautiful so that was already done for us.

The How To

With the box in our cart, we then went and grabbed some faux flowers, hot glue and some clearance ornaments that looked exactly like a horn! When we arrived home we plugged in our glue gun, plucked the faux flowers off their stems and cut some eyelashes with my Cricut. In less than 30 minutes we enjoyed out time together and had a beautiful box for her to take to school. Madison came home with the biggest smile and was full of unicorn pride! Yes, I had a few Moms tell me that “of course I made that for Madison…” and these comments made me want to share so that they could see how easy it really was.
