Heart Shaped Box with Fan Fold Tags

Heart Shaped Box
Dear friends I am not a big romantic but thoroughly enjoyed making this downright romantic heart shaped box.
Heart Shaped Box
Most boxes open from the top ,this heart shaped box swings open
Heart Shaped Box
You can add some candy or handmade flowers inside the heart shaped box.
Heart Shaped Box
I made an accordion of tag pockets to hold lot of tiny love letters to put inside my swinging heart box
Heart Shaped Box
The box halves are held in place with shimmery  ribbon threaded through brads on top of each half of the shaped box.
Heart Shaped Box
On untying the ribbon,the box swings open to reveal a fan fold of tags in pockets as in the view from the top of this handmade valentine box
Heart Shaped Box
You can take out the fan of pockets and take out each tag /love letter.I threaded a pearl string through the fan fold to secure it to my hand made box
Heart Shaped Box
Added a golden glittery peacock feather on the bottom of this handmade gift box.
Heart Shaped Box
I recycled the beautiful packaging of Itsy Bitsy flowers to make this box
Recycling crafts
I was fascinated when I saw this box by the Gentelman crafter and though he made his project in a ready made heart box ,I made mine from scratch using just card stock, glue and scissors in yet another recycling craft!
Recycling crafts
Here is the tutorial link: heart shaped box tutorial.
Heart Shaped Box

    To be frank,You were one among the few bloggers who inspired me to start blogging. I was going through the web for some handmade flowers and landed up on ur tutorial on the foam flowers. just wanted to know where we get the foam. I wanted to add a comment and it showed that the name of the commenter would be anonymous as I had no blog of mine. I thought so much n then decided to start a blog. The first few comments i made as i started the Blog was on yours asking the details.
    Would love to thank you on this occassion for the time you spend on the tutorials post.

    Gorgeous design and so unique to open side ways like that. I love the style. you have cracked it.
    Thankyou for linking my handmade letter B and Perpetual Calendar to your 3D site.

  128. Dr. Sonia, if this isn't your usual style, it NEEDS to be. It is FANTASTIC! There are just so many wonderful details to it that I'm at a loss for words (which almost never happens). Suffice it to say, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this little box and the fan full of tiny love letters inside. What a thoughtful, caring and exquisite confection you have made, and I do so look forward to seeing your tutorial on this. Thank you so much for joining us at Tuesday Alchemy this week, and thank you for the perfectly delicious inspiration!

    Hi, Sonia! I've missed you and your gorgeous creations. Wanted to stop by and say hello on my way to saying hello to others I've missed terribly while I've been AWOL. Sooooo good to be back and to see you doing such fabulous work.

    Well, I'm off to chat with others but I'll be back again soon to see more of what I've missed.

    Hugs, my friend!
