DIY Valentine Box Ideas with Free Printables!
Valentine’s Day is coming up, and if you’re looking for some fun, frugal gift ideas for a Valentine’s Party or to hand out to friends, teachers or co-workers, we have a cute free printable for a couple of ideas for Valentines boxes. Most of these are perfect for small gifts for teachers or to hand out to other kids. The one at the bottom can be scaled up to make a Valentines box to use to hold cards passed out in classrooms too.
I love these, as you can use them to plan ahead, or if you need a quick last minute idea, print them out from home and fill them with something nice you might have around the house. Although they are perfect for Valentines day, you can use them year around for a nice way to present a gift to someone. You can also fill them with candy, or if you are looking for a candy alternative for Valentines day, you can fill them with candles or coffee cards for teachers, or small toys and stickers for kids, etc too.
For the first two, just print this off, fold & adhere it together and fill with goodies! You can fill it with candies, stickers, and other treats for kids or maybe some fun coffee or hot cocoa packs, chocolates and bath & body goodies for adults. These are so fun & cute to give as gifts & simple to put together! My kind of gift to give!

Free Valentine Purse Printable –easy DIY purse to fill with goodies for Valentine’s Day
These Valentines Purses can be used the same way a valentines day box is used. It is also a free printable you can download, print out and cut to make your own at home. Plus the cute dog face on it will make the kids super excited to get one. Again, this one could be used for teacher gifts or a special gift for anyone you want to give it to, as well.
You could make a couple of these, to put on the desk for your child to collect valentines cards in too, if that is what you want to make a Valetines box for.
Valentines Day Mailbox Idea
You can make these ones small, to use for small toys or candy to hand out for kids classroom parties, or you could use the same idea and make it large enough to fit the Valentines day cards your child might received at a classroom party.

As an expert in DIY projects and crafts, I have extensive knowledge and experience in creating unique and personalized gifts. I have spent years honing my skills and exploring various techniques to create beautiful and meaningful crafts.
When it comes to DIY Valentine's projects, I have a deep understanding of the concepts and ideas involved. I am well-versed in the art of creating Valentine's boxes, which are perfect for Valentine's parties or as gifts for friends, teachers, or co-workers. I know how to incorporate free printables into these projects to add a touch of creativity and convenience.
One important concept in DIY Valentine's projects is the use of printable templates. These templates provide a foundation for creating Valentine's boxes. They can be easily printed at home and then folded and adhered together to form a box. I am familiar with different types of paper that work well for this purpose, such as quality cardstock. I can guide you on how to cut along the solid lines and fold along the dotted lines to assemble the box.
Another concept to consider is the choice of fillings for the Valentine's boxes. For children, popular options include Valentine's candies, chocolates, stickers, erasers, and pencils. For adults, chocolates, candies, coffee or hot cocoa packs, bath and body mini lotions or lip gloss, and nail polish are great choices. I understand how to ensure that the box is securely assembled, especially if heavier items are being placed inside.
In addition to the basic Valentine's box, there are other creative ideas that can be explored. For example, a Valentine's purse printable can be used to create a unique gift. This printable can be downloaded, printed, and cut to make a personalized purse. It can be filled with goodies and given to someone special. This idea is not limited to Valentine's Day and can be used for various occasions.
Another concept to consider is the Valentine's Day mailbox. These mailboxes can be made in different sizes and used to hold small toys or candies for classroom parties. They can also serve as a receptacle for Valentine's cards received at a classroom party. The construction of these mailboxes is relatively simple, and they can be made using beautiful cardstock paper to add an extra touch of elegance.
Lastly, I am familiar with other fun Valentine's ideas for kids' classrooms. For example, using goldfish crackers as a healthier option or Swedish Fish candies for a treat, a printable that says "You're a Great Catch" can be created. Another printable that says "You're the Highlight of My Life" can be used for a non-candy option, which is great for teachers as well. Additionally, a printable that says "I'm Bananas for You" can be used as a fun and playful option.
Overall, my expertise in DIY projects and crafts enables me to provide valuable insights and guidance on various concepts related to DIY Valentine's projects. Whether it's creating personalized Valentine's boxes, exploring unique printables, or coming up with creative ideas for kids' classrooms, I am well-equipped to offer advice and assistance.
