Nothing says it quite like a heart. This classic heart-shaped chocolate box assembles from a heart base, a wrap-around wall that curves smoothly around the lobes and down to the point, and a lift-off heart lid — perfect for Valentine’s truffles, wedding favors, or a few homemade chocolates. Cut it in kraft for rustic charm or in red cardstock for a bold statement.
How to assemble
- Cut — Cut the heart base, the heart lid and the long wall strips. Solid black lines are cut paths.
- Score — Run the dashed score lines — the bottom tab strip and the vertical fold marks help the wall curve cleanly.
- Fold — Fold the bottom tabs in and gently curve each wall strip around the heart, bending a little more at the top notch and the bottom point.
- Glue — Glue the wall seams at the notch and tip, fold the bottom tabs under and glue them to the base, then build the lid skirt the same way.
Cardstock tip: Use 65–110 lb (176–300 gsm) cardstock. 65 lb folds easily for small boxes; 80–110 lb gives larger boxes and lids more structure. Always score before folding.
