Step 1: Prepare the Heart Box

Open your heart box and make sure the inside is clean and dry. If the box has a removable lid, set it aside for now. This will be your base.

Gift Boutique’s Valentine’s Day Heart-Shaped Gift Boxes come in 3 Red Velvet Valentine Hearts boxes. I chose the small box for this demo.

Step 2: Cut and Fit the Green Foam

Measure the inside of the heart box and cut the green foam to fit snugly inside. The foam should fill half of the heart box evenly. This foam will hold the roses securely in place. Place the green foam into the heart box. Press it down gently to ensure it doesn’t move. If needed, you can layer foam pieces to reach the desired height, especially if you want fuller-looking roses.

Step 3:  Arrange the Plastic Roses into the Foam

Measure the inside of the heart box and cut the green foam to fit snugly inside. The foam should fill half of the heart box evenly. This foam will hold the roses securely in place. Place the green foam into the heart box. Press it down gently to ensure it doesn’t move. If needed, you can layer foam pieces to reach the desired height, especially if you want fuller-looking roses.

Step 4: Add Shredded Crinkle Paper

On the remaining space of the box, add shredded crinkled paper. Spread it evenly to create a soft bed for the chocolates.

To suit the Valentine’s theme, use the red Darfukei Crinkle Paper Filler to blend in with my red heart-shaped box

Step 5: Place the Chocolates

Carefully arrange your chocolates on top of the crinkle paper. Keep them neatly aligned for a clean look. Make sure they sit securely and don’t press too hard against the roses.

Step 6: Add the Ribbon

Close the box with its lid, then wrap the ribbon around the outside of the heart box and tie it into a neat bow at the front or side. This final touch adds elegance and completes the look. Your Eternal Love Heart Box is now ready to be gifted.
