I’ve been spotting the “Fries Before Guys” slogan everywhere lately, and I love how playful and empowering it is. It works perfectly for a Galentine’s treat, so I teamed up with Kendra from Bouffants & Broken Hearts to create a printable fry box you can fill with treats. We filled ours with sugar-cookie “fries,” but you can use real fries or any small snack. These are an easy, cute way to celebrate friends this Valentine’s season.
Download the printable, follow the simple steps, and you’ll have charming fry-box valentines in no time.

Supplies:
Fry box template (print on cardstock)
Craft knife
Bone folder or scoring tool
Ruler
Double-stick tape
Parchment or wax paper
How to assemble:
- Print the template on cardstock. Before cutting, use the guide marks with a ruler and bone folder to score the four tabs and the curved fold lines. Scoring helps create crisp, clean folds.
- Cut out the template carefully using a craft knife. Fold along all scored lines to form the box shape.
- Overlap the side tabs by about 1/2 inch and secure them with double-stick tape to form the box.
- Line the inside with a small piece of parchment or wax paper, then fill the box with your chosen treat—sugar-cookie fries, real fries, or another snack.
- For sugar-cookie fries, roll out dough thinly and use a pizza cutter to slice into long, thin strips. Bake according to your recipe and sprinkle with sugar to mimic salt if desired. Let cool before placing in the box.
