Make This: Easy Valentine Letter Box DIY

By Brittni • Updated on 07/07/2021

I’m not too big on giving gifts for Valentine’s Day, unless it is in the form of candy and cupcakes, but little love notes are pretty cool. Right? So here’s a thoughtful DIY idea for V-Day that will only take a few minutes to make and just a couple of bucks.

Supplies:

small box (I used one of these) // washi tape // sharpie metallic paint pen // old stamps (not collector’s items of course – I bought a bag of 30 or so stamps from Anthro a while back for $6) // pen or pencil for writing messages

How To:

So easy! Flip your tiny stamps over to the back and write a few mini love notes, share a quick story or two, or remind someone special why they’re so great. Then place all these mini love stamps inside a small box or other container. Add a little washi tape to seal the box and maybe a heart or two with your paint pen. That’s it. You are good to go: a thoughtful gift for your love on Valentine’s Day.

What a cute idea! a personal homemade gift is always more romantic I think. If you take the time to make something for someone else it just say that you care more.

So cute and simple! I always thought DIY was much more meaningful than store-bought, especially on Valentine’s! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
