Supplies

One heart-shaped chocolate box

Acrylic paint

One sanding block

Fabric heart garland (I purchased my fabric heart garland at Dollar Tree)

Paintbrush

Faux flowers and greenery

Hot glue

Twine or rope

Scissors

Floral cutters

Step 1: Prepping the Box

I used a heart-shaped box for my project, which had raised letters and hearts design. To prepare the box, I used a sanding block to sand down the lettering and design. It was easier than tearing the packaging paper off. 

Step 2: Applying Acrylic Paint

After sanding down the box and cleaning my workspace, I applied acrylic paint with a paintbrush. I chose a lighter pink and white color for my design. 

Step 3: Adding Fabric Garland

Before making any cuts, I wrapped the fabric garland around my heart-shaped box to see how much I needed. Then, I made the necessary cuts and attached the garland to the box with hot glue. I glued the ends at the back of the box.

Step 4: Attaching Flowers and Greenery

For attaching the flowers and greenery, I used hot glue. I also used floral cutters to cut my flowers and greenery. I played around with the placement before gluing them down. 

Step 5: Adding Twine or Rope

The last step was to add a twine or rope to the back of the box for hanging. I cut a small section of twine and attached it to the back creating a loop at the top.

And that's it! I love that I turned a simple heart-shaped chocolate box into a beautiful hanging heart decoration for Valentine's Day with just a few materials. Thank you for visiting and transforming with me.
