Today, February 14, is a great time to show love and appreciation with true, handmade gifts. With a few simple tools and 14 DIY Valentines Day Crafts, you can make keepsakes that your loved ones will always remember. Starting with a classic—a card that is made just for you—think about Cardstock, bright paper, bows, and buttons can be used to make a card that says a lot. For something different, try making a picture frame with a love theme. Use an old frame, acrylic paints, and decorative items like glitter or fake flowers to make it look more romantic.
A “Reasons I Love You” jar is another idea. Fill a glass jar with little notes written on pretty paper that list the qualities you want in a partner. Lastly, add a personal touch by making your own bath bombs or candles that smell good using natural ingredients and essential oils. The creative process of these projects is rewarding, and the gifts they make are thoughtful.

For a sweet and thoughtful gift, put your favourite candies or homemade treats inside the box and seal it with a bow or pretty sticker.
