Hi! It is last minutes for preparing the gifts and the cards for Valentine’s Day. Today, I’m going to share with you how to make an Origami treat box. This simple paper box is easy to create, versatile and useful! Filled with chocolates, candies, cookies, or macaroons for your valentine. It might be the perfect gift for your sweetie this coming Valentine’s Day.

1. Start with a square piece of paper. (7.5"x7.5") Fold the four corners of the paper toward the center point.
2. Fold the top and bottom of it into the center then open out again to create these creases.
3. Open out the top and bottom triangular flaps. Fold the both sides into the center.
4. Fold down top corner like this and then open out again. Fold down the other direction. Repeat this step at the other end.
5. Open out it along the creases you just made.
6. Fold the top of it over into the box. Repeat this step at the other end of the box.
7. To make a lid, just make another box with a slightly bigger piece of paper.(8”x8”)
Don’t forget to decorate your box with cute Love Birds products! I hope you have a nice Valentine’s Day.

mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I'm more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful.

A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
