You know those heart-shaped boxes of chocolate that start filling the shelves this time of year? You know how you love them, and hate them, all at the same time? I mean they are so badβ¦ but also really good. And for whatever reason, they all come with the WORST designs on them. Something about Valentineβs Day makes every chocolate brand completely forget that there is anything but puke red and bad 90βs floral patterns around.
Well, weβve come to the rescue with DIY covers for chocolate boxes. Buy a couple boxes and turn them into bright, fun, modern conversation hearts! Itβs super easy + your friends/co-workers/sweet hearts will adore them.
To make the conversation heart candy boxes this year all you need is a few bright pieces of scrapbook paper, a package of white alphabet stickers and a glue stick. Piece of cake! Or piece of chocolate. Or oops, the whole box is gone:) Hereβs how you do it:
Take the top off the candy heart box and trace it onto the backside of your scrapbook paper. Cut out, flip over, and use a glue stick to attach it to the box top. Out of all the craft glues in my arsenal, I swear my kidβs glue stick works best for this project. Allow to dry for a couple minutes and place your stickers on the paper. Thatβs it! These boxes have quickly become my favorite new gift to give for Valentineβs Day.
And 50+ other DIY heart ideas to inspire your love giving this year.

January 23, 2014 at 2:42 pmSuch a cute idea! And youβre rightβ the designs on those things are seriously the WORST. I was walking down an aisle filled with them this afternoon and felt like I needed to shield my eyes.
