2023 Valentine Day Crafts

Valentine’s Day is next week, so I want to share a few of the crafts that I have made.   It’s a day you can enjoy with your special someone or your Galentines.   Regardless of how you celebrate, the thought is to put your “heart” into it & enjoy the day.

The first one is adding detail to your cards.  This is very simple to do.   Use a heart-shaped paper doily & mod-podge on to your envelope.  I use a Sharpie pen to add the address.  The doilies come in 30 in a package at dollar tree.    I design my cards, but store-purchased cards are perfect.  When your Valentine goes to the mailbox, or you give it to them personally, your card will stand out.

Hand-crafted gift bags are something I do for our cleaning ladies at work.  These are made from lunch sacks, hand painted with the rose & bow attached with the hot glue gun.  The bags contain some soaps & lotion along with candy.

These were on-sale gnomes that I picked up after the holiday for $.33.  I removed everything that looked like Christmas & added hearts & bows to look like Valentines.  These are adorable to include in a candy bag or use for other decorations.

And lastly, my little Christmas tree at my office went straight to a February look by adding these homemade hearts instead of Christmas balls.  The hearts are leftover fabric remnants with some stitching around the edges.

I hope this gives you some ideas on how simple & inexpensive it is to create a festive look & add a special touch to your way of celebrating.  ❤️
