new bbbcraft diy on design*sponge today!

We have loved February 14 since our first doily-glued-to-a-red-card that we crafted for our classmates in the first grade. Every year since, we’ve covered our kitchen tables, desks or floors with supplies and materials weeks in advance while we work on our valentines. This year, in addition to handmade cards we’re sending in the mail, we put together some 3D valentines.

We used cigar boxes in different shapes and sizes and filled them with candy, homemade heart cookies or flowers, depending on the size — and the recipient! We collect cigar boxes, but if you have a cigar store nearby, they often sell (or even giveaway) boxes. Put these together for your best friend, mom, sister or sweetie, and you’ll find that they’re as much fun to make as they are to give away. See the entire post on Design*Sponge!
