  3. Cut two 6” x 12” pieces of the arrow paper and Mod Podge to the outside top of the box. Cut two 3.5” x 12” diagonal striped pieces of paper and Mod Podge to the bottom half of the box.
  4. When the Mod Podge is dry, trim any excess paper around the handles.
  5. Mod Podge the black and red circle pattern paper to the inside of the box. Trim any excess paper when the glue is dry.
  6. Reassemble the box and adhere with hot glue.
  7. Cut a 3” heart from the light green paper. Stencil the "XOXO" to the heart with Bright Red.
