Ingredients
Valentine's Candy Box
Psych Candy Box
Instructions
- Assemble your boxes if needed. If you are using the same ones I used here, I highly recommend watching the tutorial!
- Fill each compartment of the box with a different candy. Be sure to pull out any broken, crushed, or melted candies. I like to arrange mine so the shapes are upright, but can arrange your boxes however you like!
- Carefully place the lid/cover on the box. You can add some ribbon or string to help ensure the box stays closed if you like. Or try using some double-sided tape on the bottom or side of the box, to help keep the cover secure.
- If using, add a gift tag, or small note listing the candies the box contains.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to use any kind of candies you like for your gift boxes. Just to be sure to take the weather and strange into account if you plan on traveling with them! For example, if you are going to be somewhere warm I would stare clear of chocolates and other candies that melt easily!
If you are looking to make this homemade gift a little extra special, slip a gift card into the box along with the candies, or gift your candy box along with a favorite movie or book!
If you are having trouble finding boxes to use or don't feel like ordering a bunch, be sure to check out your local dollar tree. Or places like the Target dollar spot or the holiday department of your local stores!
