Dog Valentine Box

This time of year it’s all about the valentines! My youngest loves coming up with new valentine box ideas and is totally counting down the days until she can bring hers to school. 

Since Baby Yoda is all the rage these days, we made Baby Yoda valentines with a Baby Yoda valentine box to match.

I couldn’t stop at just one box though. With an upcoming appearance on Suncoast View, I’d need to make lots more and my girls chimed in with the idea for this cute dog valentine box.

Dog Valentine Box

Since both of my girls are obsessed with puppies, this was one of their first suggestions. I knew it would be fun to make but this little guy turned out even cuter than I expected!

It was pretty easy already but I’ve included a traceable template so you just have to cut it out, trace the pieces and glue. You can even customize your dog by changing up the colors. Make a white dog with black spots, a black dog with brown spots or even a pink dog with purple spots…totally up to you!

This dog valentine box is the perfect craft for little animal lovers!

Equipment

Materials
 

Instructions

  • Start by wrapping your box in white construction paper and cutting a hole with an X-acto knife or box cutter. (I used a Capri Sun box just to give you an idea of the size I used)

  • Print template for tracing.

  • Use hot glue to put together the dog’s face and use a permanent marker to make his mouth.

  • Glue legs to the side of the box and use permanent marker for details, then add more "spots" to the dogs body.

  • That’s all there is to it. Now your child has an adorable dog valentine box to bring to school!

Notes

  • The amount of white construction paper you need to cover your dog will depend on how big a box you use. I used two pieces to cover the Capri Sun box and had some to spare.
  • Also, the time it takes to make this will vary based on the age & skill of the child (and also how much of a perfectionist your child is!)

Thank you so much for the template! We used it for my son’s box for school. Super easy and super cute!

We love the puppy idea! We think we might put the card slot on the top 🙂 Thanks for the template!
