Craft supplies to make the Valentine Candy Box Wall Hanging.

Supplies

  • A medium to large heart-shaped chocolate box
  • Silk flowers
  • Floral moss
  • Floral foam or styrofoam
  • Ribbon or string to hang (I used twine with wood beads)
  • Scissors (or metal cutters) to cut faux flower stems
  • Hot glue gun

STEP 1:

Make two holes in the top of your heart box and add ribbon or twine with beads to hang later.

STEP 2:

Cut the floral foam down as needed and hot glue the pieces into your box. Your foam should be slightly shallower than the sides.

STEP 3:

Cut the flower stems away. If the stems are thick, you may need to use wire cutters. Then, add a dab of hot glue and push your flowers into the foam. Finish by gluing floral moss between the flowers.
