Valentine's Boxes Done & A "Manly" Gift

I finally finished the Valentine's boxes for the boys to take to school, I'm so grateful that Valentine's day is on Thursday this year it gave extra days to complete things!  These boxes I think turned out so cute!  I found the idea for the Monster and the Dog on Danielle's Place.  Her's are a bit more detailed then mine but I think the boys and I did a great job.

Monster - 

What you will need:
Tissue Box
Craft Foam or Colored Card Stock
Acrylic Patio Paint
Low Temp Mini Glue Gun
White Paper or Craft Foam for the Teeth
Multi-colored Feather Boa
White paper or craft foam for the teeth
Scissors
Googly Eyes
(Alexis Notes: I used loose multi colors feathers - cheaper. The dollar store had foam feet so I cut them down to make the monster feet.  I used a foam piece that I cut into the arms and the tongue.)

I'm sorry for instructions you will have to go to Danielle's Place she requested I take these down that it is stealing putting them up. She has also requested I take down the step by step pictures and direct you to her page.

Dog 

What you Need:
Tissue Box
Craft Foam or Colored Card Stock
Acrylic Patio Paint 
Low Temp Mini Glue Gun
White Paper or craft foam for the Teeth
Silver Chenille Stem
Brown Feather Boa
White paper
Scissors
Googly Eyes
(Alexis Notes - I skipped the Chenille Stem along with making a collar and used loose feathers instead of a Boa to save money)


I'm sorry for instructions you will have to go to Danielle's Place she requested I take these down that it is stealing putting them up. Pictures on how to do has also been taken down by her request.


Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope you all have a blessed day with wishes of love!


P.S. I had to add one more thing on.  Since I'm a such a good mom I almost missed doing a gift for Rick ... ugh.  So I found a "Manly" Valentine on The Crafty Blog Stalker's website.  I took this and made it to Rick's taste.  

You Need:
Jerky
Sugar Babies (Since he's my Sugar Daddy to my Sugar Babies)
glass vase (Dollar Tree)
Almond Joy (his favorite candy)
Sandies Cookies (his favorite cookie)
Trident (his favorite gum)
red ribbon

I tried to shove the sugar babies in their boxes in the glass vase but didn't fit so I took them out and put in the bottom of the vase.  I added the Jerk and used those as my anchors to hold in the other items.  I pushed the other items and done!  I added a balloon that say I love you :).


Ok now I'm done! LOL

  7. Copyright Infringement - I link how you have your material protected by copyscape when you copy other people's ideas. I asked you to follow my copyright regulations that state, if you make a craft from Danielle's Place, you must place a link back to the site, you may only publish a short description of the craft with a link back for the complete directions. Do not state that I said you were stealing the craft next to the craft. You made a derivative of my craft which means it is still recognizable as my craft. I could make you take the whole thing down, but I didn't. Remove the direction pictures. Or better yet, just come up with your own designs.
