2.Cupcake Valentine's Day Box
We had so much fun making this Cupcake Valentine's Day Box last year. This Cupcake box was so easy to make. We found a bucket for the base and a round piece of styrofoam for the top. We cut a hole in the styrofoam so there would be a place for kids to drop off Valentines. We folded up card stock and glued it to the bucket to make the cupcake liner. For the top of the cupcake we glued squares of tissue paper. Just a little glue in the middle is enough. This part takes awhile to get this full look! We spray painted a styrofoam ball for the cherry and cut out pieces of card stock for the sprinkles!Not sure how we are going to top it this year! Any ideas?
