Revamping Valentine boxes!!

I love my newly revamped old Valentine boxes...this one has the sweetest valentine of a pussy cat.

I want to show you how easy it is to do it yourself! 

Here are my ugly boxes....a pink one from goodwill...$1.

There was dirt and marks on it....making it sort of sad looking. 

And this one is alright...but just advertises Russel Stovers. 

I gathered up supplies...like my party streamers.

I LOVE party streamers because they are usually dirt cheap at thrift stores and are easy to work with.

I just took my white party streamer and started gathering it up with my fingers and pressing it down to keep the gathered shape. 

I then started hot gluing it to the edges...making it evenly hanging over the edge a bit. 

I started at the top middle point of the heart.

Lucky was helping ...like a good tabby cat.

He put his paw on things I should try next...no kidding...he is amazing. 

I kept going around in layers.

When going around curves...just tuck to go around. 

I wanted another color to be added. 

It was addicting to keep on going. 

I love the sweetness of it...reminds me of Marie Antoinette. 

While I was working on this....I took my old valentine ...glued it onto cardstock and then added glitter.  I let it dry.

This is the kitty valentine I used. 

I covered it up alot. 

All these pics were taking while watching tv...so I am sorry the pictures are a little crazy and dark. 

I also covered up the little red box. 

I added white too. 

I glued the kitty valentine on the center....glued ribbons under it (with a heart button) and added a few stickers. 

I put a dog valentine on this one.

They are sooo cute and corny at the same time! 

Now my boxes are not sad...

I can proudly put them out and enjoy.

Here is my last tip:

Don't put party streamers in the sunshine...they will fade...

but maybe you want it to fade?  It would look vintage if it was faded....lol.

Have an amazing day!
