Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. It is on February 14th and it will be here before you know it. Are you prepared yet? Do you know what you are getting your friends and family for Valentine’s Day? Or perhaps you have a special person you have been admiring from “a far”. Either way I have the craft for you today. In this post I’m going to show you how to make a Chocolate Bar Box for Valentine’s Day. You are simply going to start off with your receiver’s favorite candy bar and go from there to construct the perfect chocolate bar box for this special occasion. So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started.

Measure enough space for the chocolate (let’s say 2.5 cm on every side of the chocolate bar) and mark with a line.

Step 2
Fold on this line…
… and once again…
… like this:
Step 3
Cut the last part at 2 cm from the edge.
Step 4
On one of the small sides make a criss-cross cut.
Step 5
Unfold the paper.
Step 6
Apply a layer of glue on the back side of the chocolate bar…
… and place it in the middle.
Step 7
Apply a layer of glue on the ribbon too…
… as long as the width of the paper… then place the paper with the chocolate on top.
Step 8
Take the remaining paper…
… fold it in half…
… and draw a half of a heart on it.
Cut the drawing out.
Unfold.
Step 9
With the marker write in the middle of the heart “Happy Valentine’s Day”.
Step 10
Close the box and tie the ribbon making a knot on one side.
Step 11
Apply a layer of glue on the upper part of the back side of the heart, as I show in this picture.
Then place it on the box. Take care that the glued part does not touch the ribbon.
Step 12
Use glitter glue to decorate the heart.
Here is your elegant chocolate box…. ready to be given away to someone special.
Isn’t this chocolate box just fabulous to give out as a gift? It really is. Imagine how excited the receiver would be to receive it. Now, the real question is….who are you going to give this awesome Chocolate Bar Box to for Valentine’s Day?
