Valentines

When I was a child I LOVED making my Valentine box for school. Back then we could buy crepe paper by the sheet. First I would cut a nice size opening in the top of a shoe box. Then I would wrap the top and bottom of the shoe box separately with the crepe paper. I liked turquoise colored paper. My next step would be to cut apart paper lace doilies and tape or glue paper lace around the bottom edge of the top. My third and last step would be to cut out a variety of sizes of red and white hearts from construction paper. I would glue them all over the top and sides of the box.  Some would even be glued on top of each other. Sometimes I would glue some leftover doily lace around the edge of a heart. Making my Valentine box was a lot of fun!
