Valentine’s day isn’t just about expressing your love to your husband or wife, but also to your whole family and friends, and the best gift to give them are those that are handmade. Personally, I love making gifts where I can put treats and they can keep them as decor, too, and they always loved it! This year, I will try making this adorable candy dish with the help of this video tutorial by Lisa and Wills hauls on YouTube.
Materials:
- Heart box
- Pink monkey
- Clear punch ladle
- Plastic container
- E6000 adhesive
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Felt fabric
- Scissors
- Candies
Directions:
Step 1
Remove the lid of the heart box, then cut a piece of felt into a heart, and adhere it to the bottom of the box. Drizzle some E600 at the center, then top it with lots of hot glue, and adhere the ladle down the glue. Add some weight to the ladle, then add a few objects around to serve as the brace, and hold it down until the glue has dried completely.

Step 2
Once dried, dab E6000 and hot glue on the top handle of the ladle, then put the plastic container on top and hold it until it dries. Now, position the monkey on the box, then glue the body to the handle of the ladle, and glue the hands to each side of the plastic container as if it was holding it up. Hot glue a few candies inside the plastic container, then fill the heart box with the rest of the candies, and you’re done!
