Valentine boxes



Here are the rest of the Valentines and the boxes I made for the kids this year.
These are Little Man's. I  found the idea last year at Skip to my Lou and then a few months after finding it I found it as an svg file HERE and then when I was looking for ideas for him, I remembered that I had it and decided to make them.

 I thought oh they will be fast and easy...I really need to re-think projects when it involves making 21. They weren't hard, just time consuming.

I planned on printing the inside of the mouth from skip to my lou that said "I'd snap at the chance to be your Valentine" and glue it on, but I ran out of time and was unable to print them.

 Miss K wanted to make a rubix cube, so a rubix cube we made

 It turned out cute and was pretty easy to make. Used a 12x12x12 box,covered in black wrapping paper and fun foam cut into 3 1/2 inch squares.



Mr K wasn't sure what kind of box to make and kept changing his mind. The other day I was talking to my SIL and I asked if her kids were making boxes and she said yeah "T is making a toilet" and I knew Mr K would love that idea.

I was right, when I told him he should make a toilet he quickly responded ok.
 Here is his toilet. There are quite a few tutorials if you google toilet valentine box. I did not follow any one particular one.
I really wanted to put a recording of a flushing in it with a button they could push but the device to do that was more than I wanted to spend. I think I should have added a handle...oops.

Guess that is what happens when you finish making Valentines and boxes at 1:00 in the morning.

As for Mr.K's valentine's he picked what he wanted and I was supposed to print some stuff off and was not able to with everything that was going on so I woke up early this morning and printed them out and put them together before he had to leave for school.

  I loved the different take on the original ones of these that can be found HERE. This version I found HERE

I forgot to share the valentine shirt I made for Princess B so here it is. It turned out much cuter than I had hoped.
