Here’s a quick supply list for the Unicorn Valentine Card Box:

Valentine Card Box for Unicorn Valentine Card Holder

  • An adult sized shoe box would be the main body and a kids shoe box would be the Unicorn head. Wrap the boxes in wrapping paper. However, I was able to find a photo box and a Valentine card box at Michaels (so I didn’t end up using shoe boxes).

Supplies: This Unicorn Valentine Card Box DIY project is a fun whimsical twist on a classic valentines card holder! This Unicorn just makes me smile! Step by Step instructions on Design Dazzle.

  • Large felt hearts (wings). We found our felt heart wings at Michaels as well.
  • 1 sheet of 12 x 12 craft paper (horn). You can pick any kind of pattern you would like the horn of the unicorn to be. This can be found at Michaels as well.
  • 4 short cardboard rolls (legs). These can be made from empty paper towel or toilet paper rolls (cut in half).
  • Gold Fringe for the mane.
  • Any other embellishments you would like. 🙂 I went through my craft stash to come up various ribbons, yarn etc for the tail.
  • Sharpie, glue gun etc.

This Unicorn Valentine Card Box DIY project is a fun whimsical twist on a classic valentines card holder! This Unicorn just makes me smile! Step by Step instructions on Design Dazzle.

STEP 1: First things first, we will make the basic form of the unicorn valentine cardholder. Connect the two boxes together using hot glue and add the simple facial features using paper or felt. It could also be a good idea to go ahead and cut your slot for the valentines before you get too far into the project. (x-acto knife works well)

STEP 2: Now, lets make the horn. Take your 12 x 12 piece of craft paper and cut into an obtuse triangle. Roll to desired width and then use hot glue to secure the form. For connecting the horn to the head of the unicorn take the excess paper on the end of your newly formed horn and separate it into pieces that can be folded under to create a base (see image). Trim any excess paper and then secure the horn to the head with hot glue.

"STEP

STEP 3: Time for some details. You can add some facial features with any embellishments you have purchased or make your own. Sharpie was used to draw on the mouth. Ribbon was used for the “eyelashes”. Originally the nose was drawn on with Sharpie but I had this cute little heart shaped felt embellishment that I ended up using.

  • Cut two cardboard toilet paper rolls in half, cover with paper or felt and attach to the bottom of the box with hot glue. Gold glitter paper was added to the very bottom to give some sparkly hooves!!

STEP 4: Hot glue the felt wings to the side of the main box. Add any other desired details to sparkle it up! For the fun final touch. Get creative with all sorts of ribbons and sparkles from your craft drawer to make a really fun whimsical mane and tail. Tied all the ribbons into a tail and hot glued onto the box. Same with the mane which was made from gold mylar fringe.

      If you look at image three (from the top) there are two boxes, one is for the head and the other for the body. You will notice the smaller one the head already has the cut out. So the hole is in the back of the unicorns head : )

    Hi, my daughter and I immediately fell in love with this idea and told me this is what she wanted for her Valentines Card Box, but by any chance would you mind putting the measurements of the box or a picture would be great too!! Thank you!

    How do you get the valentines out of the box without tearing it apart?

      Tina, It’s a shoe box with a lid so just remove the lid. Or you can purchase a Valentine’s box like I did from Michaels Stores. It also has a lid.

    Did the valentines cards just go into the smaller box? Or was there a hole between the smaller and larger box that let them fall into the large shoe box? My daughter is SET on having this unicorn lol

      Oh I hope it all turned out. It is a cute one. The hole would be in the larger shoe/photo box.
