This little treat box will hold two mini packs of Love Hearts and so to keep the "love" theme I used the Well Written Dies which have 24 word dies.

To make the little thumb hold use a circle hole punch, if the punch is a large size then put the thumb hole in before closing the box.

Here is the step by step video tutorial to show you just how simple box making can be. I hope you enjoy and have a go at making this little love heart treat box.
