Soon a wonderful holiday, Valentine's Day. If you want to please a loved one with a gift, but do not know what to give. We offer you a master class on creating a box "Valentine's Day". The symbol of the day of all lovers is the heart. Let's make a heart-shaped box. PresentDo-it-yourself gift-giving is always nicer.

You will need to work


For work you will need:
- The plastic bottle is colored.
Packaging from yogurt.
- Food packaging.
- Scissors.
- The tape is transparent.
- White cardboard.
- Iron or electric stove with a smooth surface.
- Quick drying glue.
- Puncher or figured puncher.

For this crafts need a plastic bottle of any color. The color of the bottles can be: yellow, green, blue, brown, red, etc. The color of the box depends on the color of the bottle you have chosen. The shape of the bottle must be non-standard. The lid closes the box, so its diameter should be larger than the diameter of the box itself.

Cut out the base


Cut out the base for the box from a narrower section of the bottle. From a wider area, cut out the lid.

Give the box a heart shape


We give the casket a heart shape: bend the base of the casket in half, then bend one side in the opposite direction. It turned out the heart. We also do it with a lid.

Round the top edge of the lid.

Round the top edge of the box cover. We heat the iron, put a sheet of white paper on top, then cover, hold it for a few seconds, pressing it to the iron. Instead of an iron, you can use an electric stove with a smooth surface. Strongly the stove should not be heated, "low fire" is sufficient. It is better if adults help the children in this process so as not to be injured or a fire.

Gift box "Valentine's Day" is ready.
This heart-shaped box can easily replace a gift box, you can put candies in it and bandage it with ribbon. And you can use it to store small things.
The box can be modified. Change the color using a plastic bottle of a different color. The box can be made opaque: insert cardboard inside, glue it with paper or paint it with acrylic paint.
Decorate the lid of the box at will, using colored or gift paper, beads, etc. And if you replace the cut out balls from a simple hole punch with figures (hearts, flowers, etc.) cut out using the figured composter, the box will turn out even more interesting. Experiment.
