I started with a 4x4x4" cardboard box and altered it with some pretty Valentine's patterned papers on each side. Next, stickers and sentiments were added for more interest and 4 metal feet were placed to the bottom, with a crystal-style knob on the top. The idea is that you put the box in a family-friendly spot in the house, like the kitchen. Add blank note cards and a pen, then encourage the family to write a note of support, encouragement and love to someone else at anytime, then place note inside the box. Family members will be excited to check the box daily and see who left them a little bit of love! Such a fun and easy way to bring the family together this Valentine's Day!
I added some gorgeous Poppy Red Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon and made each strip into a big bow, then layered them and added another bow made from 3/8 Inch Black Gingham Ribbon a top of that. Finally, I added 2 strips of Black Burlap String tied into a double bow to a decorative button and placed it in the center of the triple bow. The results are beautiful! Ribbon always adds the final touch to a great project, don't you think? I sure do!
And that's all for me! I hope you've enjoyed my project and feel inspired to make a love note box or something similar for you and your family too! Until next time, happy crafting!
