Hello All!
I have been playing with some romantic ideas for Valentines day. These little boxes are sweet and just the right size for a pair of earring, a small necklace or some little notes of love written out on strips of parchment.
They are very easy to do. I bought some heart shaped boxes from a craft store and painted them with Gesso, then the color of my choice. I did not paint the top of the box though, I left that free for the image I had chosen to glue on with tacky glue. I also glued on a strip of vintage lace trim around the lid. Then I used Diamond Glaze just along the outer edges to adhere a string of vintage rhinestones. When that was dry, I filled in the center with more Diamond Glaze (let it dry overnight). I used a thin line of Stickles just below the rhinestones on the outer edge.

Hello there Terri,
What a delightful post!.., Your beautiful Valentines boxes are just so elegant and pretty!
I love everything about them, yet I must say I'm partial to rhinestones!
Thanks so much for joining us for TTTT and also for TTFT this past week!
P.S.~ It has taken me quite awhile to at long last get by for another visit as I have been under the weather', not with a cold or flu, but with aneamia and other health concerns)..,

Terri, those are lovely! I don't know half of what is out there anymore as far as craft supplies are concerned, and I can see I'm missing out on so much. Like Stickles, for instance - what's that?
Anyway, very nice, and what sweet Valentine gifts they would make!
Looking forward to more of your wonders,
Marianne
