I've been looking forward to a little Valentine's Day project for the grandkids--ever since Christmas.
I picked up these little plastic boxes of Holiday Gum at the dollar store in December--they hold tape-style rolls of pink chewing gum--then got to thinking the shape of the boxes looked familiar. Sure enough, they were (almost) hearts!
Since then, I've been on the lookout for just the right heart-shaped stickers, and found these foam stickers last week for 50% off at the craft store--$1.50 for a big package.
I had hoped the Christmas stickers would peel off the boxes willingly, but it took some soaking and scraping, and then a dab of Goo-Gone to wipe off the residue. Sticking on the hearts was the fun part! Now to get them in the mail.
Just for fun, I figured out the cost per item--$.25 each for a total of 18. Hmmm.
