  2. Paint each box a different pastel color and let dry. When dry add a second coat of paint if needed. Yellow paint sometimes needs three coats. Let dry completely.

  3. Use the examples given to write the sayings on the top of each box or personalize with some of your own with the fine line pink/rose marker. The height for the lettering should be approximately ¾ of an inch. It is not that important to be perfect. The candy hearts themselves are not always perfect! If you are a bit leery about lettering, than lightly write the saying in pencil and then go over it with the marker.
