Papier Mache Boxes Heart - Pack of 6

The Papier Mache Boxes Heart - Pack of 6 offer a creative and heartfelt crafting opportunity for children to make personalised gifts that will be treasured for years. Made from strong, high-quality papier mache, these sturdy heart-shaped boxes are perfect for decorating and filling with small gifts, tokens or sweet treats. Supplied plain, they provide an excellent blank canvas for children to express their creativity using acrylic paint, glitter, sequins, stickers, foam shapes, and other embellishments.

Ideal for occasions such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Easter, Christmas or Valentine's Day, these boxes become meaningful keepsakes when crafted with care. Children can personalise each box to reflect the recipient or the occasion, making the gift both thoughtful and unique. For best results, apply two coats of quality acrylic paint, followed by a sealant or varnish to enhance durability and presentation.

This project promotes both artistic expression and a sense of pride, as children experience the joy of creating a special gift and the fulfilment of giving it to someone they care about.
