3. Heart with bow gift packaging
Materials:
- plastic bottle
- foam sheets
- 3.9 in by 3.9 in glittered foam sheet
- super glue
- thermo glue
- candy
- decorative sticker strip
Instructions:
Cut the straight bottom part of a bottle, then fold it in half. Once done, glue the ends together to make a heart shape and stick the sticker strip on the bottom part. Next, trace the bottom of the heart on the foam sheet and cut it. Do the same for the top. Glue the bottom in place. For the top heart cover, glue a strip of foam sheet around its edges. Get the square glittered foam sheet, and cut the four corners diagonally toward the middle just leaving a small space between them. Flip it and add glue in the middle. Get two corners and fold them in. Do the same on the opposite side. On the top part, cut it into a rectangular strip and the bottom into a letter V. Add glue on the middle and fold the strip down to make a bow. Glue it on the top cover. Lastly, insert your candies inside.
