Directions

Create the sweetest display using this super-fun idea that brings excitement to elementary classroom decorations and sets the scene for Valentine's Day parties.

• For step-by-step directions, follow the instructions in the Download tab.
• Cover your background and spell out your message using punch-out letters.
• Layer White and Red Sparkle Terrific Trimmers® to frame your display.
  
• Create a candy box base using cardstock, pink paper, and trimmers. Folding the Gold Metallic Terrific Trimmers® at various angles gives them a really fun pleated look! 
• Create chocolates with student names on them using Chocolate Terrific Trimmers® and a white paint marker. Crease, write student names, fold, and tape together. Nest each inside a paper cupcake wrapper. Sweet!
• Fill your candy box with the chocolates you've created and add some additional ones in colors like red and gold for extra pops of color!
• Create a lid out of dark and light pink paper and loop together gold trimmer strips to create a unique bow. 
• Let any glue you've used dry thoroughly before hanging your display.

How sweet it is for elementary students to find their names in the candy box and see a classroom display made just for them!
