What are ideas for decorating a Valentine’s box?
So I wrapped an 11′ by 8” box with green wrapping paper with yellow and blue dots on it! But I can’t just wrap it! Any ideas for decorations? I have lace but if I glue it it always ends up showing glue stains! I want something modern and fun too! I was thinking of sticking a stuffed animal on top! Do you think that’s a good idea for a fifth grader?
For a fifth grader, I would do lots of texture and color. I know it’s a little cliche, but I just love all the reds and pinks and lace for valentines day. To make it more modern, add some black or chocolate colors?
I would make a bow of different patterned ribbons of the same color combinations. If you can’t do that line them all up and then in the middle of all of them use another ribbon to tie them together in a double knot, and then cut off most of the ends.
You can use different kinds of cute comics from the newspaper like the other person said. To do this though, I would use a paint brush and some watery-glue. It can make it kind of paper-mache-ey. You can also use the watery-glue for the lace.
I kind of like the idea of the stuffed animal on top of the box, but it shouldn’t overpower it. If it’s a big stuffed animal you could kind of make it holding the box. That would be cute too!
The fifth grader, no matter what you do, will love the decorations no matter what.
Good luck and happy Valentines day!!!
Get different types of scrap fabrics, paper, wallpaper anything that has a good color or texture to it (even a plant leaf) and cut hearts out of them and glue them on the box. You use some of the comics out of the paper too.
