We’re just about to kick of thee best month of the year: MAY. Yes, I’m a little biased.  I love May.  It’s not only the month I was born, but it’s also the month to celebrate the wonderful woman who shaped me into the woman I am today!  It’s a very special month.  Since we’ll be celebrating moms, how about a super fun and easy way for you to show your mom just how sweet she is — with chocolate?  Rather than going with all store bought goodies, how about these DIY Box of Chocolates?

DIY Box of Chocolates. The perfect Mothers Day gift with a sweet twist

supplies for diy box of chocolates

 

Scrapbook Paper
Large Match Boxes
Glue Runner or Double Sided Tape
Eyelet Setter
Ribbon
Misc. Embellishments
Dove Chocolates (I used an assorted mix)

Let’s take a look at how quickly this can be pulled together!

DIY Box of Chocolate Tutorial with livelaughrowe.com

Step One:
You’re going to measure the width of your box and cut your scrapbook paper.  Adhere to match box with glue runner, glue stick or your choice of crafting glue.

Step Two:
Trace and cute two pieces of scrapbook paper or either end of the matchbox.  Attach as you did in step one.

Step Three:
Using the eyelet setter, place your eyelet in one side — centered.  Cut a piece of ribbon, fold in half and knot.  Pull the folded end through the eyelet, as the knot will serve as the stopper.

Fabulous Handmade Gift BoxTechnically you’re done!  However, you’ll want to decorate this box of cuteness for the special occasion — Mother’s Day.  Whatever those embellishments may be, add your personal touch.  I stamped ‘mom’ onto linen fabric tape and attached it to a piece of kraft paper before adhering to the box.  Glue on a burlap flower for the final touch.  Adorable!

Fun DIY! Make your own gift box with a large match box -- and fill with Dove Dark ChocolatesFinally, and most importantly, is what goes inside that box.  Oh, you know, like Dove Chocolates!  Boom. Used an assorted mix of the Dark Chocolate, Almond, Mint, and Sea Salt Caramel.  They’re all mouthwatering; however, that Almond was to die for.

DIY Handmade box filled with chocolates makes for a perfectly sweet Mothers Day gift!Fabulous way to show mom how sweet she is! DIY Box of ChocolatesAnother thing to keep in mind is how versatile these boxes can be!  Birthdays, Just Because, Valentine’s Day and more!  Oh the possibilities.  Happy crafting, sweet friends!

    Wonderful project, gives me ideas of what to do with so many match boxes we throw away. I know what a waste, shame on us. Adorable project Kelly, Happy Birthday.
    My youngest son’s b/d is tomorrow, he’ll be 50.. Can’t even call him as he’s working in Singapore. He’s there more than he’s home anymore. Wish I could talk to him and see him. His oldest has her b/d on 15th. so yes it’s a great month. Hope you have wonderful time on your cruise.
