valentine gift box – chalk art

Those of you who celebrate Valentine’s day must have done your shopping by now and some of you would be still hunting for gifts. Whether you have already got yours in place or  not, presenting your gifts in a new and romantic fashion is a must. To help you inch closer to that, here is a short tutorial.
Valentine gift box – chalk art
To make this all you need – is a box (wooden, cardboard, Leather or rexine), a piece of chalk and a sealant.
I actually found this box in one of the classrooms (where I teach) some time back. It was being used as a chalk box and naturally had some scribblings on it. After some dusting and cleaning, I decided to take it up a step further by drawing some…wait for it…Hearts on it!!
The box had a wonderful quote – Everlasting love on it
so I highlighted the word love with a silver marker. Finally A coat of clear sealant and it was done.
If you want, you could cover up words on such boxes by decoupage strips or pieces of beautiful paper before sealing it.
You could also use this idea for your boyfriend/hubby’s gift. If you are planning to give him a Tie, Cuff links or a Pen set use this on the branded box to give a personal and romantic touch to the gift
Another idea is to transform an old tie/jewelry box like this and use it to gift wrap Love notes or coupons 😉

I hope you found this post interesting…

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you..Will meet you on the 15th !!
