dollar store gift box makeover

While I was at the dollar store the other day I saw that they had a little selection of valentine gift boxes.

I thought this was darling well, minus the chintzy little bow. Upon further inspection I realized that it was simply hot glued onto the box and therefore could be popped right off!

At home I looked through my ribbon stash and found this black with white polka-a-dot ribbon that I thought would be the perfect pop with the red, grey, and white box. I think it makes such a sweet little bow, don’t you!?!

I hot glued the bow onto the box and tada! From dollar store gift box to where did you get that cute box!?!

To complete the whole package I took a couple of old book pages and cut them up with my Martha shredding scissors.

Popped the book page nest into the box and it’s ready for a special little valentine gift!
