DIY polaroid Valentine from Beijos Events
You guys saw the cuteness from this morning’s “love date” Valentine’s Day party from Beijos Events, yes? In it they made these super fun photo boxes that we think you can whip up in time for Friday (or the weekend), and gift to moms, dads, grandparents, and little friends!
Here’s what you need:
- Clear Acrylic Box (they used the hockey puck size from The Container Store, as it fit the polaroid perfectly)
- Instax mini film camera
- Washi tape + glitter tape
- Lots of glitter & confetti (beijos’s confetti was custom made by The Confetti Bar which had colors of copper, pinks, whites, and gold, sweet little hearts, kisses, and words like Beijinhos meaning “little kisses” and meu amor which means “my love” in Portuguese.)
Here’s how to make it:
Take a picture of your little beijinhos with your polaroid camera. Center the picture inside your acrylic box with your washi tape of choice. Then fill the box with anything from glitter, confetti, small heart candies, anything that will add to the theme of your Valentine’s Day card. Only fill up a little so you can still see the photo. Close the box, and you have yourself a great Valentine’s Day “card” perfect for any dad or grandparents to put on their desk at work, or on a mantle.
It really is the perfect gift that will last all year long, don’t you think?

Clever container idea! The washi tape is a darling modern touch, too.
