How To Make The Easy DIY You’re Dynamite Valentine’s
1 — Optional: Spray paint your container a solid white. Allow to dry.
2 — With a drill or X-ACTO knife, create a small hole in the top of the lid
3 — String a small piece of cord through the hole, and make a knot on the inside to keep the string firmly in place.
4 — Cut a piece of card-stock to the same height as your container. Glue the card-stock around the outside by brushing tacky glue around the container. Then, wrap the paper around and press firmly.
5 — To make the flame at the end of the cord, cut adhesive red felt into a flame or teardrop shape and stick the pieces to each other with the cord in the middle.
6 — Fill your container with candies, sweet nothings, and of course, the token love note.
