Looking for a personal, sweet treat for your Valentine? Here’s an idea that has an element of DIY as well as delicious surprise inside! Check it out…

You’ll need:
Card stock, any color you like
Printable pillow box template
Scissors
Glue dots
Black marker {mine is the Tombow Dual Brush Pen}
Sweet treats, like MY M&M’S

Step 1: Print your template and cut your card stock along the solid lines.
You can either print directly on the card stock, or print a pattern to re-use.

Step 2: Fold the card stock on the dotted lines.
Do not assemble the box yet, you want to do your hand lettering while it’s still flat.

Step 3: Write the words “be mine” in cursive on a diagonal across what will be the front of the box. Print the word “Valentine” below.
For reference, feel free to see my Brush Lettering Alphabet resource.

Step 2: Go back and add a second line on each down stroke.

Step 3: Color in your thickened lines. I also turned the dot over my “i” into a small heart.

Step 5: Fill the box with a tasty treat!

I selected red and white, along with two images from the clip art library; a pair of hearts and the phrase, “I love you!” Then, I typed in two of my own messages, “Dan & Amy,” and “A Latta Love.” How fun is that? These are great not just for Valentine’s Day, but for any special occasion like weddings, graduations, baby showers, and lots more.

Once your treats are safely inside the box, go ahead and seal the end with your choice of adhesive. Then, it’s ready to gift to your Valentine!
