Teacher Valentine Gift Idea

When I was cleaning out the basement I came across a couple of those plastic craft containers.  {You know, the ones with the little compartments for storing odds n' ends}.  And then I remembered this Back to School post from Eighteen25.  So... with Valentine's Day quickly approaching, I thought I would come up with my own Valentine's Day version.  

I am soooo loving working with pink!!!

Anyways, here's what I added:

• various candies {chocolate hearts, mini Hershey bars, and Hershey's kisses}
• strawberry gum
• Bath and Body works anti-bacterial gel
• some heart paper clips
• glass marble and clothes peg magnets {instructions for these can be found here}
• chunky clips {I have no idea what these are actually called!}

I cut out some coordinating patterned paper, inked the edges, and glued them on to the clips.  It is amazing what a little paper can do!

For the outside of the box, I just cut out some Echo Park paper {the little bird cage was also cut from the paper} and added some letter stickers.  I glued the paper down with Quick Grip and added the bird cage with a pop dot.  

I think it turned out pretty cute.  Now I am off to decorate the other box that I ended up keeping for all of my little office supplies!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!!
