Valentine’s Day is the sweetest day of the year – what better way to celebrate than to give your Special Someone a delicious treat? These treat boxes only require a few simple cuts and folds. With a quick trip to your local FedEx Office®, the process of printing your gift boxes will be as easy as saying “I love you” to your valentine.


Materials


-          Copies of the PDF provided here

-          Craft knife and cutting mat, scissors or paper trimmer

-          Bone folder

-          Ruler

-          Circle punches (¼” and 1 ¾”)

Place an online order through FedEx Office Print Online for the color copies. Select white 80lb. cardstock paper. Make sure to process the three-page PDF as a double sided printing job. The pink page decorated with hearts will be the inside of the boxes and the other page with the same print will be used for nametags. When your order is complete, you will receive an email from FedEx Office.

Cut out the three different boxes using the pink, raspberry and red rectangles. Score and fold along the white dotted lines to create the sides of the box. Punch out ¼” circles indicated by the white circles printed on the short ends of the boxes.

 

Punch out 1 ¾” circles from the remaining patterned paper and ¼” holes on one side of each circle. Use the blank side of the tags to write the names of each box recipient.


Fill your boxes with a few treats and use ¼” ribbon to secure the sides. To close the boxes, fold each rectangle in half and line up the circles from the opposite corners.

Optional

Print additional copies of the hearts patterned paper to create backgrounds for Valentine’s Day cards, bigger gift tags or even envelope liners.
