Step 1
Wrap your shoe box and lid with wrapping paper. You want the sides of the box to be covered with the wrapping paper or construction paper. Choose red, pink or lavender colors for the paper you cover your box in. Tape the paper to the bottom of the box and the inside of the box. Wrap the lid in wrapping paper or construction paper also.

Step 2
Make a hole in the lid of the box. You want to cut a hole in the shape of a rectangle in the lid of your box. Be sure the hole is big enough to fit valentines in without bending or folding them. You can use scissors or a sharp knife to cut the hole. Get an adult's help if you're younger than 10.

Step 3
Decorate the box. Decorate the paper with squiggly lines or circles using the glue. Next, sprinkle glitter over the glue patterns. You want to sprinkle the glitter on the glue before it dries. You may also decorate the box using markers or cutting shapes out of the construction paper. Consider using heart-shaped doilies and gluing them to your box or decorating it with Valentine's Day themed stickers.
