Here is a free Valentine download for you if you dare (lots of cutting, folding, gluing….)
- Pillow Box Alligator– blank so you can add your own embellishments like stickers, heart hole punches, glitter and more!
- Pillow Box Alligator with pink hearts
- Inside of mouth
First download and print out an alligator and inside of mouth
Cut out pieces
Lightly score lines on pillow box and gently fold
Put glue on side flap of pillow box and fold together, leaving the ends open. Allow to dry a few minutes before folding in the ends of the box.
Score about 1/2 inch from the end of the upper mouth piece so it can open and close (see final picture). Fold in ends on box and begin gluing on upper and lower mouth and the tail.Use lots of glue stick! Use a rubber band to secure pieces while they are drying.
Fold edge of each leg and glue to sides of box
Add some googly eyes and fill box with candy
