How to Make Love Volcano Valentine’s Day Card Box

INSIDE: Make a kids love volcano card box holder for Valentine’s Day with clean, repurposed milk jug. Easy card holder for kids Valentine’s.

My little guy loves all things volcano! Maybe it’s the explosion of fiery rock but like most boys, anything that goes ‘boom’ is the best. So when Valentine’s Day rolls around, who says there can’t be active {love} volcanoes?!

Turn a plastic milk jug into an overflowing lava of love by creating a volcano Valentine’s Day card box. Surprisingly easier to make than it sounds, you are both reusing and repurposing while fueling your kid’s geology interests!

I love seeing all the kids walking into school with their homemade Valentine’s Day card boxes. Add this exploding volcano of hearts to the mix!!

make a volcano valentine’s day card holder from milk jug

Start by cutting an opening in the top of a (clean, of course) plastic milk jug.

Cut down the side of a brown paper lunch bag to give you two sections.

Cover the sides of the milk jug with the brown paper bag, securing with tape or glue on the inside of the jug.

Leave the handle free for easy carrying.

Use yellow scrapbook paper to cut out “lava”.

Repeat the lava-making with orange scrapbook paper. Use some decorative edge scissors, optional.

Cut out heart shapes from scrapbook paper (or use large heart stickers) to cover the volcano.
