An elementary school tradition is the homemade Valentine mailbox. Start with a shoebox or small cardboard box, then use your imagination to create a pretty Valentine box.
You might use wrapping paper, construction paper, wallpaper scraps, fabric, craft foam, or a paper bag to cover the box. Decorate with stickers, magazine pictures, felt, glitter, paint pens, pom poms, lace, doilies, flowers, valentine cards, or valentine graphics you print from your computer.
Stroll through the craft store to get ideas, or take a look at these Valentine box creations from around the Web.
