Valentines Day Hershey Nugget Mailboxes




My sister made these with her daycare kids, and sent me a picture of them. They were so cute! I decided I would make some for Ben & Jacks preschool teachers and the nurses where I get my iron treatments. I started out by I cutting a coordinating color of solid cardstock into 1 inch wide x 2 inch long strips. I used my corner rounder and rounded one end of the strip. I then glued that to the bottom of the nugget (it will be the open door of the mailbox). I then cut strips of patterned paper as wide as the nugget, and trimmed them into 2 inch little strips and put glue on each end. I wrapped the strip around the nugget. Then I cut the little "hand" (that signals the mailman to pick up the mail) and punched out a heart to glue to the top of the hand. I used my Silhouette to print and cut the Happy Valentines Day scallop. I think they were really easy and turned out so cute!
