Upcycled heart-shaped chocolate box wall hangings for spring!
Don’t throw away that heart-shaped candy box from Valentine’s Day! Use it to make a beautiful wall decoration for Spring.
Get creative and transform your candy box into a beautiful decoration using seasonal flowers and other decorations.
Below are two ideas for Spring but you could also use your upcycled Valentine’s candy box to make a wall hanging for Fall using gerbera daisies or feature tropical flowers and shells for summer!
Upcycled Valentine’s Chocolate Box – Blush Rose

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

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.

Upcycled Valentine’s Chocolate Box – Moss Shamrock

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.

When dry, finish it all up by hot gluing the shamrock, ribbon, and any other embellishments on.
