Our little man had a Valentine's Day Party at his school this past Friday. The teachers asked the parents to bring a card box and Valentine's Day cards. Of course, being the Domesticated Diva I wasn't going to bring an average box or average cards for my son. I decided to make him a monster themed box and cute valentine's day cards. Here's what I came up with.
|what you will need|
+ shoe box
+ glue gun
+ styroform balls
+ foam sheets
+ letter stickers
+ craft paints
+ pipe cleaners
|how to|
{1} Cut a hole on the lid of the shoe box. Make sure the hole is large enough about 4 x 7. Use the glue gun to glue the lid to the box.
{2} Use craft paint to color the box. Use two coats, making sure the paint is dry between coats.
{3} Now the fun part...decorating! I started off glue gunning the eyes (Styrofoam balls) to the top. I cut out the monster's feet out of foam sheets. Then I spiraled the pipe cleaners for the monsters antennas and glued hearts on top of them. I had left over small wood heart shapes that I painted black for the eyes. I cut out random shaped teeth and glue gunned the teeth to the inside of the box. Then I just used letter stickers to spell out my son's name.
