Hot Wheels DIY Valentines Box

If you missed my post on making DIY Custom Hot Wheels Valentines head HERE.

My 4 year olds {that is so crazy saying again} preschool class asked that they make Valentine's boxes for their Valentine party! Since Bo was very adament on having Hot Wheels Valentines, we of course, had to make a matching Hot Wheels Valentine Box.

This isn't anything ground breaking, but if you are want to know how I did it, keep reading!

What you will need:

- Card stock {red, yellow, blue, orange & checkered}

- a shoe box or pre made valentine box {I got mine from Hobby Lobby for a couple dollars}

- Glue

- Scissors

- checked flag {optional}

- Cricut {optional}

First, I measured & cut the card stock to fit onto the sides & top of the box. Boden helped by gluing them on!

I used the font from the template I used HERE to make his name on Canva & transferred that image into my Cricut app to cut out. If you don't have a Cricut you could just print & cut out their name on paper, print just the logo or not put it at all. I think even without a name or logo you can for sure tell it's Hot Wheels themed!

I used a strip of orange paper to make the loop de loop & hot glued the a car of his choice onto the box!

I let him know that it may mess up the wheels so I encouraged him to choose one he was okay with possibly not working anymore. But, the hot glue peeled right off! No damage at all!

& that was it! Pretty simple Hot Wheels DIY Valentines box! Getting the right colors really make its scream Hot Wheels with or without the name & logo!

Hot Wheels DIY Valentines

If you've been following for awhile you know, I LOVE a good Valentine & Valentine Box. I've missed the days of Valentines as the girls have gotten older. But now that Boden is in preschool, I am back at it! We went through what kind of Valentines he would want & he insisted that they be Hot Wheels which is no surprise. He is Hot Wheels obsessed.

Here how I made his Hot Wheel Valentines:

Supplies needed:

-Card Stock

- Printer

- Hot Wheels for classmates {I got mine at Dollar Tree they were a little over a dollar I think, but check Kroger because they often have them for a $1 even}

- Glue

- Hot Wheels Template

- Rubbing Alcohol

Let's get started:

I bought THIS Hot Wheel Valentines template & edited it myself to get the look I wanted & printed it on a thick card stock.

One thing about me though, I never spell check. & so you will see here it says "You're a Wheelie Friend" instead of "You're a Wheelie Great Friend". The good news for me, these kids cant read but I know some parents were perplexed reading it when it came home haha

Next, I soaked the back of Hot Wheels cardboard packaging in rubbing Alcohol. I am unsure if this is the best way, however, it did work. But, I do wonder now if maybe using a hair drier on the back would melt the glue for it to easily release. If you make these & try that method, comment and let me know how it works or if you used a different method that worked!

I used hot glue to attach the plastic casing with the car onto the card stock & learned on my first go that probably wasn't the best option. It melted the packaging. As i went on I put very little on it & that seemed to work. I think gorilla glue or something similar would work better!
