When Christmas and the holidays are over, I tend to feel bluesy in January. Thank heavens for Valentine’s Day! I start thinking about this lovey-dovey holiday weeks in advance to help me get through the boredom of January.

And Valentine Box Ideas are my FAVORITE love crafts to think about. As a child, I always looked so forward to decorating and personalizing my school valentine box, not to mention making the actual valentines.

I would go crazy with doilies, glitter and ric-rac! I’ve tamed down over the years (just barely), but still love to come up with Valentine Box Ideas for my girls and for fun little gifts for my friends and neighbors.

I thought these cute little boxes would make for perfect ‘secret Valentines’, left on loved ones porches.

I’m embarrassed to even include a tutorial (which is below), but I want to show how fabulously markers soak through barry baskets.

There are so many fun ways to adapt this craft. Stripes, polka dots, hearts, etc. A perfect little (and personalized) gift box.

As always, if you use my printables or recreate one of my crafts, tag my on social media using the hashtags #LTDprintables and/or #LTDcrafts. I love seeing what your up to!
