Happy Almost Valentine’s Day, everyone! We are almost there. In the madness of the holiday season (which feels pretty intense from October through early January), I am just now starting to think about Valentine’s Day and honestly, I’m only thinking about it because I need to get these posted so they have time to get out on the Internets before the actual holiday gets here. So there you have it. My real motivation for 99& of my holiday posts. These printable Valentine’s Day pillow boxes are a fun and pretty easy thing to make at home, and they make your Valentine giving just a little bit more special!
Free Printable Valentine’s Day Pillow Boxes for Treats
These printable treat boxes are 4″ long and 2.5″ wide when complete. They’re perfect for holding a handful of candy hearts or hershey kisses. But they are also a cute way to deliver any trinkets or gift cards that need delivering. These are fun for class parties, passing out to tahers, or surprising the kids (and grown-ups) in your life.
How to make these cute Valentine’s Day treat boxes
These are super easy to make. All you need is a printer, some cardstock paper, scissors, and some strong craft glue or tape. You’ll also need whatever treats you are going to fill these with, of course! {candy hearts, chocolate, gift cards, stickers…the sky is the limit}
Here are some recommendations for supplies:
Download (download here or at the bottom of this page by clicking the black and white “download” button) this file. Print out the pillow boxes on card stock. If you use regular paper, they won’t be strong enough to hold any treats. With card stock, these are super sturdy.
Cut out the pillow boxes. Fold lengthwise along the dotted line, and then fold over the tab along the dotted line. If you want to get fancy, you can use an exacto knife to lightly score the curved, dotted lines that you’ll be folding over to close the box. However, I did not use that method when I made these.
The only place you’ll need to use glue or tape is along the tab that runs lengthwise. I used hot glue because I had my glue gun out, but any strong craft glue will work (except a glue stick, the glue isn’t strong enough and they’ll pop open – same with some types of tape). Glue (or tape) the tab to the inside of the flap. It will look kind of like an envelope with two open ends. If you’re using tape it needs to be sturdy.
Next you’ll fold over the ends. I start in the middle and then kind off crease it on the way out to the corners. You’ll see what I mean when you do it. You don’t need to secure them, they will stay shut. If you want to, though, you can use a dab of glue to secure one side.
