Hi friends. Today I’m sharing a quick, inexpensive and fun idea for a Valentine’s Day gift. I’m showing you how to make these upcycled Valentine’s Day gift boxes using Washi Tape! It’s super easy.
Supplies:
- Washi Tape
- Crystal Light Plastic Containers
- Scissors
You can make these Treat Boxes to hold anything…candy, love notes, money, cookies, etc. I chose to make some super cute cookies to fill my Treat Boxes with. I found an adorable set of mini Valentine’s Day cookie cutters at Ross for like $2 (couldn’t pass those up) they were perfect for these containers. I simply just made a batch of sugar cookies and colored my dough pink & red, cut out all my cookies and baked them.
While they were baking I got to work on my Treat Boxes. All you do is wrap your plastic crystal light containers in Washi Tape. I started at the bottom first and worked my way up. Once your done, fill them with your special Valentine’s Day gifts and add some ribbon and a tag and you have a great gift!
Don’t you think they turned out super cute?! You can make these for anything not just Valentine’s Day. Enjoy!

I really like the duct taping around a container concept – much easier than trying to wrap it in some kind of paper. This idea is really awesome! Someone I know is getting one of these this v-day..
Sooooo cute!!
Washi tape is one of my new favorite things. I only have black poka dot & a multi-pattern roll. I hope to collect more & make fun crafts like this one.
