Hi there creative friends,
We are just a week out from celebrating Valentine’s Day…. and it doesn’t matter if you go big with the romance, candy and flowers or play it a little more low key, I’m sure you can find use for a sweet little retro Valentine box!
It’s the perfect last minute Valentine project, taking just 10 minutes to print and make.
And it’s a free printable too!

How to make the Retro Valentine Box
1. Download the file (see below) and print the file onto 250 gram matte photo paper (photo paper cardstock weight).
2. Using a sharp craft knife and a metal ruler, cut out the design.
3. Score the dotted lines with a scoring tool or bone folder by placing your metal ruler where you want your fold to be, and run the bone folder along this straight edge to make a clean score line, then fold.
4. Using white glue or a glue stick, apply glue to the side tab to close the box.
Next, apply glue to the tabs at the bottom of the box and fold in to close the bottom of the box.
5. Fold your creases at the top of the box to form the carton top.
I used a simple red paper clip to secure the top of my boxes, but you could also punch holes for ribbon or twine.
That’s it!
It’s such a simple and quick project, but looks so cute,
Wouldn’t these sweet boxes look perfect as place setting in a Valentine tablescape….
Or maybe leave small token gifts of chocolates and candy on the doorstep of friends and neighbours on Valentine’s Day ♥
