Valentine's crafting

Love is in the air, and so is the scent of glue, glitter, and paper hearts! Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to let your creativity shine. Crafting can be a fun way to get together with friends, family or that special someone in your life to create some thoughtful keepsakes.

Crafting is a good way to unplug and destress

Crafting combines creativity, focus, and hands-on engagement, making it a perfect activity to unwind and stay present in the moment. Making some Valentine’s crafts is a fantastic way for both adults and children to unplug from the digital world and get away from the screens. Put the devices down and reduce your screen time by creating some personalised cards, love-themed decor, or simple keepsakes.

Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a beginner looking for easy DIY projects, we’ve got you covered with ideas that are fun and simple to make.

Make your own Valentine’s cards

Making your own Valentine’s cards is a fun and creative way to add a personal, heartfelt touch. This is a fun activity for both children and adults! Here are some tips and ideas to make your homemade cards even more special:

Sparkles: Add some shimmer to your home-made creation with a sprinkle of glitter.
Use Valentine’s colours: Use red, pink, purple or white as your base colours. You can also incorporate heart designs using crepe paper.
3D embellishments: Add a 3D-element to your card by glueing on some extra layers, for example, different coloured hearts, stickers or the person’s initials. Check out our blog on printing your own stickers for even more fun!
Hand-drawn artwork and lettering: Sketch some doodles or write some handwritten messages using a nice calligraphy pen.

There are endless possibilities for creativity when it comes to making your own Valentine’s cards, no matter who they’re for.

Create a festive heart garland with some paper hearts

Valentine’s garlands are festive and charming, all while being simple to make. All you need to get going on this crafty DIY project is coloured card, scissors, and a bit of string, ribbon or glue.

Cut out hearts in various sizes and shades of pink, red, and white, or go bold with unexpected colours. There are different ways to assemble a Valentine’s heart garland.

The first option (as seen in the image above) is to cut one side of a heart, intertwine and glue them together. Another easy alternative is to punch holes at the top of each heart, string them together, and voila! Hang your creation across a mantel, window, or doorway for an instant Valentine’s Day vibe.

Create a memory jar for a cherished friend

Give a special friend or family member the gift of joy and nostalgia with a homemade memory jar! This is an excellent way to create something meaningful and long-lasting. Grab a used jar at home, some colourful paper, and start jotting down your favourite memories, inside jokes, or heartfelt compliments. Fold each note into a tiny surprise, and fill the jar until it’s bursting with love. Add some ribbon or a little tag for an extra personal touch.

This is a small way to show your appreciation for somebody in your life, without costing a fortune. Plus, every time the person looks at the different notes and memories, they’ll have something to smile about!
