Here is a sweet little homemade Valentine. It is great for kids because they can decorate the boxes. The materials are pretty simple. I had the matchboxes around from another project and then was inspired these awesome matchbox valentines by Brooke. They were easy to make and a fun little project.
Materials Needed: Matchboxes, tin foil, googly eyes, construction paper, pipe cleaners, tape, glue, candy
Step 1: Pull apart each matchbox to cover the outside in tin foil. Cover the outside box completely, folding the edges into the inside and securing with clear tape or glue.
Step 2: Decorate! Get creative and make them unique. It is nice to add a heart here and there. Pipe cleaners are best attached by either making a small hole to poke them through or bending an end just slightly and taping them down.
Step 3: Fill the robot up with the candy and give them to all of your Valentines.
