Valentine’s Day DIY Gifts

Valentine’s Day is probably one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. It comes right after my birthday so I always feel like it’s another excuse to treat myself. The holiday also has all of my favorite things: hearts, pink, red, more hearts, friendship, oh and love (duh). I wanted to share some quick DIY craft ideas in case you’re in a rush to send out gifts to your favorite people.

Handmade Cards

A handmade card is such a simple touch that really goes a long way. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy – you can use what you have around your house or make a quick trip to the craft store. I love to decorate blank cards with stickers, handwritten notes and scrapbook embellishments. As a thrifty shopper (I get it from my mama), I always look for the $1 bin or sale items. Next time you see a stack of blank cards for sale, pick those up! You never know when they’ll come in handy.

Ps. Aren’t those stickers so cute?! I’m having a Galentine’s Day party for my sweet friends and I could not resist picking those up. They’re all about celebrating your best gals!

Literally costs 50 cents each to make. Head to your local Dollar Store and buy the clay pots (4 for a $1) and the seeds (also 4 for a $1). The easiest and sweetest gift that welcomes in the Spring season!

I found the recipe on this site and added in some pretzel pieces for a salty twist. Add in as much or as little of the ingredients as you’d like. You really can’t go wrong!
