  1. Cut your craft foam sheets to fit the exposed sides of the tissue box(es). Make sure you cut a slit in one foam piece large enough to slide a Valentine into the box. Use a complementary color like red or pink foam to cut out the lip shapes. Depending on the age of your kids, you can do this in advance or trace the shapes for your children to cut out with safety scissors.
  2. Attach the foam siding and the lips to the tissue box with hot glue or tape. Be sure to match the slit foam piece to the slot in the box for Valentine cards.
  3. Attach the googly eyes where desired with hot glue or tape. Use ribbon to make wacky eyelashes and the glittery felt to make funky glasses. Glue into place.
  4. Use yarn to make hair for your Valentine’s Day box, or spiral pipe cleaners to make heart antennae.
