Supplies

  • A medium to large heart-shaped chocolate box

Craft supplies to make the Valentine Candy Box Wall Hanging.

First, make two holes to the top and add ribbon or twine with beads to hang later.

Next, hot glue floral foam into the box. Cut the foam down as needed. It should be just slightly shallower than the sides.

Cut the stems off of your flowers. If the stems on your faux flowers are thick, you may need to use wire cutters. Apply hot glue to the end of each flower stem and push them into the foam. Hot glue floral moss when finished between flowers to fill in any gaps where you can see the floral foam.

In process is a blush rose wall hanging being made with an upcycled heart-shaped Valentine's Day chocolate box. Floral foam has been inset into the box and blush color roses are being pushed into the foam and hot glued in place.

Upcycled Valentine’s Chocolate Box – Moss Shamrock

Finished wall hanging made from an upcycled heart-shaped Valentines Day chocolate box. There are two different upcycle ideas and this one has fabric glued to the outside of the box to cover. The fabric is white with small green bowties. In the center is a DIY shamrock made of moss. Around the entire outer edge of the St. Patrick's day wall hanging is pom pom fringe in white. The top had a natural wood bead rope to hang it by.

Supplies

  • A medium to large heart-shaped chocolate box
  • Floral moss or a sheet of moss
  • Lightweight cardboard (I used a cereal box) for shamrock
  • Tacky or craft glue
  • White cardstock or poster board to cover up the outside of the box
  • Scissors
  • A paintbrush or foam applicator
  • Mod Podge for fabric
  • Fabric or patterned paper (for background)
  • Ribbon or string to hang (I used twine with wood beads)
  • Hot glue gun
  • Download and print out of the Free Shamrock Template

Start by adding string (or ribbon) to hang your Shamrock Wall Hanging.

Next, download and print the Shamrock Free Printable in the supplies list above. Use this as a template to cut a shamrock out of lightweight cardboard then cover it with tacky or craft glue. Press loose or sheet moss into the glue. Add more moss as needed then cut the excess around the edges to finish.

If needed, cut a piece of white cardstock or poster board to cover your heart box. I was using fabric and I could see through to the wording on the box.

Apply Mod Podge to your box to glue down the background paper/fabric. I used Mod Podge for Fabric and I also added a coat over the fabric to seal it.
