Valentine Love Letter Boxes
Hello everyone, this is Janna. Today I got a tutorial to share about how to create little love letter boxes for Valentine´s Day. They are perfect as small surprises, maybe hidden somewhere in the house, next to your sweetheart´s breakfast plate or even send as snail mail.
All you will need is some match boxes and your favorite Hambly supplies!
Here are the things I used to create the love letter boxes:
paper:
brocade, lattice, pen & ink, mini brocade, brocade blossom, brocade blossom (kraft), portrait gallery
rubons:
birds & owls, spilled ink, banners & pennants
overlays:
lattice, little circles, mini moustaches
decoration:
decorative washi tape
clear stickers - butterfly & florals
other:
match boxes, tulle, twine, staples, rhinestones
Now, let´s get crafty :)
You will need match boxes. If you don't have any plain ones, you can also paint the normal ones that you get for free most of the time. Painting the match boxes gives them a rather shabby style.
Pick all you favorite Hambly products that you want to use for decorating the boxes.
Make sure to sew on some paper before attaching them to your box. As soon as you glued it to the box you won't be able to sew with your machine anymore.
Confetti! What fits better to a sweet love surprise than confetti?
Write down love notes, either by hand, computer or typewriter. You can create little banners with them or glue them on patterned paper like I did with one of them.
As you can see these love letter boxes are easily made and they are perfect for using your scraps!!
Hope you enjoyed this tutorial, can't wait to see what you will be creating :)
Janna
