Make an adorable Valentine’s Day printable box with this free printable Valentine’s box template.
With our free printable template and step by step instructions you’ll be able to make a cute little Valentine’s Day box quickly and easily.
These print and fold boxes use the same technique as our printable Christmas boxes they are just a little bit smaller, perfect for a small Valentine’s day treat!
Where we live, Valentines day is only about romantic love and over priced flowers, and gifts, so it’s never really been my thing.
I wish we celebrated love in a broader sense though. I wish we celebrated the awesomeness of a good friend, or the love you hope your kids to have for each other. If Valentines day encouraged those more of that kinds of love, then I could totally get into it.
So I’m taking the bull by the horns and making Valentines Day more than just a day that makes you feel bad if you don’t have a partner and I’m encouraging you all to share some love, whatever type of love that may be!
To help share the love with all of you I’ve made these super cute little Valentine’s Day print and fold gift boxes!
Another fun way you could share some love this Valentine’s Day is with one of these easy Valentine’s Activities for kids, or by making this super cute paper dog Valentine’s craft, or try this Valentine’s heart sun catcher craft!

How to Make a Printable Valentine’s Box.
One you have downloaded the free printable Valentine’s Day box template you’ll need to choose which box designs you want to make.

Totally agree about Valentine’s day – it seems pretty much designed to make single people feel bad about being single and married people feel inadequate because they are not romantic enough. Love the idea of celebrating all the different sorts of love in our lives, friends, kids, pets etc. Much more positive and inclusive!
