I’m so glad I bought a few of these little divided boxes at Dollar Tree last Spring. I knew I’d eventually use them. I bought the heart ornaments last year and they fit perfectly into the squares. They would be cute just placed in the box and put on display, but I had another idea.
I started by taking the hooks off the back of the box so it would sit flat.
Then I decided to paint it Spa Blue (mostly because I already had it in my craft room) but I do love red and blue together.
What a pretty color. It reminds me of warm weather, not the bone chilling cold weather we have right now. I debated whether to sand the edges or not. I still might sand it later.
I used my Cricut to cut some x’s and o’s out of shelf paper, then adhered them to the hearts.
My kids love playing tic tac toe, so I knew this would be the perfect thing to make.
And it looks cute while it’s not being played.
I decided to put it on the little table between the 2 chairs, so anyone could play when the mood strikes them.
Another free craft/game by just using things I already have in my craft room. What can you make with things you already have?
Just found you through the Country Chic Cottage! I am so glad that you do a regular organizing party! I’ll definitely be joining tomorrow, hopefully it will help me keep on going with my organizing and decluttering!
That is very cute and quite stylish. I wouldn’t have thought to do this. I like boxes too.
that is really super cute!!! I’d love to know where the heart ornaments are from…I’ve been looking for some.

I made labels today for some baskets I used for organizing 🙂
That is a really cute craft/game you made. I love the Dollar Tree!!!!!
This is really cute! I have the same hearts from Hobby Lobby as well as some glittered hearts and am using them as filler in my apothecary jar, but I love this idea! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
super cute idea…and i love the blue and red combo! i so missed those wooden boxes at the dollar tree last year…bummer.
oh my, this is adorable! Like amazingly adorable times a million! I am in love! I want one!!
What an ADORABLE idea! I love this!!! 🙂
What an adorable idea! I wish I was so clever!
This is such a cute idea!
That is darling! I went to my dollar store to see if they have anything like that box, but I had no luck. Although I don’t think it would be too hard to make. And you’re right, blue and red are beautiful colors together, and not something I see often
Such a cute idea! I love it, the Dollar Stores are amazing!
This is ADORABLE! SO perfect for a coffee table! Love it!
You should come link this up to my weekly Thursday through Sunday Making It With Allie Link Party! I think it would make a Fabulous addition!

That is so clever. And how lucky to find ornaments that fit perfectly. Now I’m going to be on the lookout for those at the dollar store.
This is precious! I wish I could fine some of these boxes for my class! Wonder how I could make them? Is is such a great craft!
