This project is too fun not to share again for Valentine's Day. About a year ago, we had to come up with a gift for under $10. We managed to stay under budget and were very pleased with the outcome.
The Love Notes Box
What You'll Need:
- an unfinished wood box (got ours at Hobby Lobby $4.99 but on sale for 50% off. about $2.50)
- metal handle (from Hobby Lobby too $5.99 used a 40% off coupon. about $3.60)
- spray paint (we used Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze about $3.00)
- the following free downloads...
Download Lovenotes
Download Lovenotescards
Download Lovenotestags - ribbon (from our stash)
- 3" circle punch (or you could trace the top of a cup)

STEP ONE: Gather all of your supplies and print off all the downloads. Cut or punch out the 3" tag and back with the scalloped circle.
STEP SIX: Fill the box with blank love notes cards.
STEP TWO: Spray a few coats of paint on the box.
STEP THREE: Once dry, attach the handle to the top of the box. (We used E6000 glue)
