Fill the box with candy, and once she has enjoyed the candy, she can use it to store her pens and pencils when the new school year starts. An older child can even make this gift herself to make it even more meaningful.

Cover the rubber stamp with the black ink and transfer it onto the bottom of one side of the box. Carefully lift the stamp and allow to dry. Repeat on the other three sides of box, so that there will be kids holding hands all around the box.

Use the pencil to draw random hearts on all four sides of the box. Color the hearts with the red felt-tip pen. Then, use the Artline pen to add a border around each heart.
Add silver squiggles all around the hearts and to the top edge of the box.

Spray the outside and inside of the box with the varnish and allow to dry thoroughly. Do not spray the bottom of the box.
Add lollipops to complete the gift.
