I mentioned earlier this week that I'm always wholly unprepared for Valentine's Day despite any faux ramp-up, and this year is not unlike any other. I'm already saying to myself, "Yeah, I have about three weeks. Plenty of time to be ready for Valentine's Day this year!"
Don't let my love for chalky little conversation hearts fool you.
But, to get you in the craft mood, I'm pleased to offer another Valentine's Day DIY printable: a little gift package! Okay, so it's loosely based on a French fries box. But really, it's adorable and I promise your friends will be thrilled by your craftiness and it'll only take between five and 10 minutes to cut and assemble.
Use a bone fold or butter knife to create a crease along the edges where the bright and soft pink colors meet:
Gently fold along creased lines:
Bend the back of the box upward:
Secure the wrap around flaps with adhesive (I used double-sided tape):
Enjoy!
