Valentines Day - Tattoo Heart Box

It's almost mid January which means that Valentine's Day is fast approaching.

If you are looking for a sweet little something to give to the one you love on February 14th, you might want to have a go at making a tattoo heart box.

I made these a while ago as a wedding gift for a 1950's inspired wedding reception we went to, but they would also make a lovely Valentine's Day keepsake.  


I painted the heartshaped boxes in a vibrant red and then printed out the names of the couple in a font that reminded me of a tattoo (I love mom, anyone?).  They can be filled up with candy, chocolates, or maybe even ... a ring?  

The hearts were actually only part of the gift. I put them on top of a stack of square cardboard boxes that I had painted white and filled with coins so that the entire present looked like a tiered wedding cake, using the hearts as cupcake toppers.  

Please leave me a comment if you would like to see a full tutorial in a later blogpost.
