 Owl Valentine’s Day Box Free SVG File

The anticipation and excitement of Valentine’s Day was always so much fun as a classroom teacher and as a mom. The whole idea of spreading kindness and love through the act of giving Valentines to friends and classmates rocks. Creating the project is such a fun and meaningful way to interact with your child. I love this particular box because it is great for a Valentine Box for a girl and a Valentine box for a boy. This Owl Valentine’s Day Box is super creative and festive. It is awesome made up as a bag too because it can be used all year round then to carry library books, sleepover pajamas and googles to the pool. Let’s make it.

Materials and Supplies Needed for Owl Box

• FREE SVG File (can be used to cut paper, felt or fabric!)
• CRICUT Maker and Accessories
• Kunin Felt (Red, Pink, Black, White)
• Cardboard Box (Or Canvas Bag for Bag) – This box was from a wine delivery. HA HA HA. Recycled crafts are the best.
• Acrylic Paint (Pink, Red White) – I used DecoArt Multi-Surface because it has awesome coverage.
• Paintbrush
• E6000 Fabri-Fuse Glue

Directions to Make Owl Valentine’s Box

Step One

Firstly, cut the recycled box so that it has an opening at the top for Valentine cards to be inserted and one in the back for them to be removed. This can be done with scissors or any blade of your choice. Additionally, this step should be done by a grown up.

Step Two

Secondly, paint the box. Mix together red, pink and white paints by blending them as you paint the surface of the box.

Thirdly, let the paint dry completely.

Step Three

Next, cut the pieces in the FREE SVG file from felt or card stock.

These can be sized to fit your box if it happens to be tiny or huge. The size currently is for a standard sized shoe box. Furthermore, this could be done on a giant moving box to collect canned foods or items for those in need.

Step Four

Glue the pieces to the box using E6000 Fabri-Fuse. This adhesive is the best because it works quickly and holds great.

Additional Optional Step

Add a bow with scraps of fabric or ribbon to spruce up your owl.

The colors on this owl could of course be modified to any combinations at all. I went with the traditional Valentine’s Day colors scheme but anything would work. In conclusion, this craft could be totally modified to any size and any color.

In addition, this project can be done on a canvas bag too. I created bags a few years ago but didn’t know how to share SVG files then so am super excited to be able to give you the extra tool necessary now to make these fun projects. Check the bag out here on the blog too.

Valentine Box Making TIPS

1. It is best to use Kunin Basic Felt.  It cuts on the Cricut Maker using the setting for acrylic felt.  (Fun Fact:  Did you know that Kunin felt is made from recycled bottles?)
2. Keep the designs simpler for the younger kiddos. This should be FUN.
3. Use recycled boxes. It teaches kids to be resourceful.

Why Painting with Kids is a Good Idea

Painting with kids (whether this Owl Valentines Day Box or something else) is so much more than a craft project or simple activity. It is a way for kids (of all ages really) do many very important things.  Here are some fabulous reasons to get kids painting.

1. It helps them convey ideas and share.
2. Painting gives kids an opportunity to express emotions — even ones that might be hiding deep inside.
3. It uses several senses to paint and through that kids make connections.
4. Exploring color, the process and the outcomes teaches cause and effect.
5. When kids made handmade masterpieces, it boosts confidence.

Preparation Steps for Painting with Kids

One of the biggest factors in creating successful paint crafts with kids lies in the prep. Here are four things you can do to prepare for a great time crafting.

1. Expect a little mess. Prep your area knowing that paint can spill, drip and splatter. Cover your work are with kraft paper before starting.
2. Provide aprons for the kids. If you don’t want to but them, they can wear old adult sized shirts as aprons.
3. Have paper towels nearby and ready if needed.
4. Know the dry time of the project before starting.  If there are several steps, there might be a dry time involved. Have a puzzle or activity on hand to do during that in between time. You can grab free ones here on the blog.
