Valentine Project Ideas

Every year on Valentine’s Day I make a gifts for some of my closest friends. To me, Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to focus on romance; I simply like to let important people in my life know they are loved. In the spirit of friendly Valentines, I have gathered links to several quick and easy (as in you could easily whip them together this weekend) projects. Let me know what Valentines you make this year!

Paper and felt heart chains by Betz White . I love the simplicity and decorating potential! Hang one above a door, in a front window, or down the middle of a dining table as a simple centerpiece. Make a heart chain from white, cream, and craft-colored paper for a decoration that is less obviously Valentine-y.

“Naturally Sweet” printable fruit stickers by Twig & Thistle . These stickers are almost too simple not to make: place a sticker on each piece of fruit in the fruit bowl or put a piece of fruit in everyone’s lunch! Print out the templates and attach with double sided tape or use sticker paper.

“Be Mine” garland by The Polkadot Chair . I do love a good project made from newsprint. Perhaps it is the kid in me, but I love cutting up old newspapers, and creating sustainable crafts makes my heart happy. This garland can be made and used for years to come.

Printable color-your-own valentines from Up Up . I love the simple designs and ease of these templates. This would be great to do with kids. Don’t forget to sharpen your colored pencils!

Heart-shaped Valentines from Alpha Mom . Another simple Valentine card that takes minimal work to create with fantastic results. This would be a great last minute project.
