Make a Cool and Unique Valentine's Day Box
Do you want to have a really cool Valentines day box that everyone envies when you go to school? Since it's such a special day that only rolls around once every year, you gotta celebrate it right! See Step 1 below to get started.
Steps
- Find a work area.Make sure you have a clean work area. Also ask before destroying your kitchen table.
- Get materials. Make sure you have all your materials before you start. You don't want to have to run out to get felt and glue from Micheal's at 8:00 pm on February 13.
- Find a shoebox. Depending on how many valentines you're planning on getting, find a shoebox sized accordingly.
- Get tons of magazines. Look for a lot of magazines. Be sure to ask before cutting up your parents' magazines.
- Plan. Decide what you want on the box before you start construction.
- Cut. Get pictures, words, and individual letters to customize your box. Newspapers, magazines, and even fabric will do!
- Paste. Gather all your clippings, and glue them all around your box! Try to organize them the way you want before actually gluing them on.
- Doodle! Gather markers, pens, and colored pencils, and doodle all over your box! Write your name somewhere so people know who's box it is.
- Ta-da! You're done! Congratulations! Go show everyone your cool Valentine's box!
Tips
- Remember to make a hole. You could even just get some scissors and cut a slit in the top!
- Try decorating the entire container, not just the top.
- Don't copy other people's designs. Be original!
Warnings
- Stealing your friends' ideas can offend them, and may result in a loss of friends!
