VALENTINE CANDY BOXES

I am loving these little candy boxes for Valentines Day because they look like a million bucks and they cost less than a quarter!
 Yes, I said less than a quarter.  Including candy.  Which is good, because I ate all of the m&m's that I used making THIS project.  Candy doesn't last long around my house.....just sayin.

I found these wedding favor boxes on the clearance shelf at Hobby Lobby.  I loved the vector design on the front. The clear, heart-shaped cellophane top shows off the contents.  Perfect for Valentines Day!
 Really....a smokin deal.  $3.49 divided by 25 makes them 13.6 cents a box.  Even at full price they're only a quarter a piece.  You might want to visit the wedding aisle once in a while at Hobby Lobby.
I have a cool ribbon punch.  If you don't have one of these and you are a crafter, you might want to put one on your list!  So easy!
Since the boxes come flat, they are so easy to punch.  I punched out some slots and tied a cute pink ribbon bow on the top of this box. (I put the ribbon on the front in some, like the first pic.)  I should mention that the boxes pop up in one quick step and no adhesive is required.
Fill the box with some candy from the Dollar Store.  I used Sixlets in some and Conversation Hearts in others.  I was thinking tic tacs, gum, jawbreakers or jellybeans would also be nice.
 Cute right?  So inexpensive and so easy!  So I gave my first one away yesterday to my hairdresser, Kelly.  He laughed at the heart that said "text me" and said they have actually improved the flavor since he was a kid!  
 He's awesome and he puts up with me politely every time I walk in his door with a picture and say, "Will my hair do this?"  (Usually the answer is "no" as I have super thin, fine hair.) He'll be mad that I put hearts all over his picture.....but he really is a sweetie!

  5. Lucky you finding those boxes and that hole punch is so cool. Gotta get one of those. I'll add ribbon to anything (and glitter), so that punch would get lots of use here.

    I, too, have fine thin hair. On the bright side, Our hair dries really fast. I've talked to women who say their hair takes forever to dry. Mine is mostly dry before I leave the bathroom after a shower.

  8. Cute hairdresser! The boxes are adorable. I do shop in the wedding aisle because treat boxes like these and sometimes ribbons are cheaper there than in the rest of the store. I have been looking for a reason to buy one of those punches and you have provided the reason! "Text Me" !?! What happened to "Be Mine"? I will be interested to see how the leftover boxes will be repurposed - Maybe Mother's Day? (our favorite!)

  9. I need to know what Kelly would do for my hair. It is getting increasingly stranger. Mega ringlet curls underneath and mostly straight on top...WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS?!?!?! Love those boxes!

  10. Awe what a great idea! Next time I go get my hair done I'm going to take my hair dresser a little something special :) And what a great deal on those boxes. They are seriously cute with the little window in front.

  18. So Kelly must do a killing in the hair business. If he was up against my hairdresser, whom I love, I'd have to give him a whirl just because he's cute.

  25. Danni, these are so cute! What a great idea. Oh, girlfriend, I can so relate on the thin, fine hair!!! I never will forget when that reality sunk in 8th grade. I took this super cute pic and said I want this. My hairdresser said, honey your hair is just too fine for this cut. LOL These rainy, humid days here lately are definitely not helping! :) Thanks so much for sharing your awesome project with us at A Bouquet of Talent.
