Painted Conversation Heart Boxes

I don’t think there is anything more iconic when it comes to Valentine’s Day than cupid and conversation hearts.  Those sweet little candies have been a Valentine’s Day cliche since 1902, and their witty messages have been making Valentine’s Day sweeter ever since. This year sweeten up your Valentine’s Day with Painted Conversation Heart Boxes.

I am personally not a fan of conversation hearts, I would much rather have chocolate, but my kids love them.  I found these little heart shaped boxes at Michaels and thought they would make cute conversation heart boxes for a special Valentine’s Day surprise.  I teamed up with DecoArt to create this super easy craft project that you can recreate in less than 30 minutes.

What You Will Need:

  • Heart Shaped Box (I found mine at Michaels)
  • Americana Acrylic Paint – Baby Pink, Sweet Mint, Peony Pink, Lilac
  • Paint Brush
  • Red Vinyl or Red Stickers
  • Cricut Cutting Machine (optional)
  • Conversation Heart Candy

Step 1: 

Paint the heart shaped box with your desired color.  I tried to make mine look like the traditional pastel candy and used baby pink, sweet mint and lilac paint to achieve that look.

Step 2: 

While the paint is drying use your Cricut to cut out vinyl sayings.  Look at the conversation hearts for inspiration on what phrases to include.

Step 3: 

Use vinyl transfer tape to attach the saying to the lid of the heart shaped box.

Step 4: 

Remove the transfer tape to revel your finished design.

Step 5:

Fill the box with conversation heart or a special Valentine’s Day treat for your kids.

My kids are going to love their sweet Valentine’s Day surprise, and I love that I was able to create a fun and personalized gift for them.  And most of all I love that this project was super simple and cost me less than $10 to make all three.  Who needs expensive flowers, overpriced boxes of chocolates and giant stuffed animals when you can win them over with witty messages and conversation hearts!

I think these cute boxes would be great for teacher gifts too.  Just put a fun phrase on the lid, like “You Rock” or “Best Teacher” and fill it up with candy and a gift card.

Ok, I’m curious…are you a fan of conversation hearts? Or are you like me and think they are yucky?
