Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and one of my favorite things to share here are frugal ways to celebrate the holidays using easy to find and inexpensive items.
You may have thought last year’s DIY Valentine’s Day Projects post couldn’t be topped, but I think today’s projects are going to rival all that I shared last year.
The best part is that they are both beautiful AND frugal – a total win for my wallet and my home!
Let’s get started with this year’s featured projects!
DIY Valentines Day Bow Tie
I am a total girly-girl so I am absolutely dying over this adorable Valentine’s Day bow tie on Plan B.
You only need a few craft supplies and a men’s necktie to create this look.
If a pink tie hasn’t been donated to your favorite thrift store, look for a red tie or anything in those festive red & pink colors.
Pair this with a lacy blouse and your best boyfriend blazer for a cute night on the town.
If you can’t locate a bow tie, hunt for a red, pink, or white blouse and try my frugal DIY Rosette Necklace for an adorable addition to your favorite jewelry pieces.
DIY Coffee Cup Wrappers
I love a good free printable and am madly in love for these Valentine’s Day cup wrappers.
Travel mugs are something that I often see in abundance at our local Goodwill.
How sweet would this thrifted gift be with a little lovable printable on the outside and filled with their favorite coffee for someone you love, heading off their morning commute?
In my mind, the ultimate sign of love is a cup of coffee, don’t you agree?

DIY Sequined Heart Shoe Accents
Last month we talked about how easy it is to make your own sparkled set of shoes from a pair of Goodwill shoes.
To take this a step further towards Valentine’s Day festivity, check out this easy sequined heart shoe accent you can make from At The Picket Fence.
I know I have one adorable little girl who would absolutely love this heart accent and it would be a fun & inexpensive craft we could do together too!
DIY Coloring Page Valentine’s Day Printables
I am all about free printables for celebrating the holidays and am madly in love with this, “I Love Everything About You,” printable from Tried & True for a couple of different reasons.
Besides this printable being free, it is actually a coloring page that you can fill in with your own favorite colors or you can have your kids do for a fun Valentine’s Day activity.
Just pick up a frame or clipboard for displaying these and you will have something beautiful to decorate a wall, mantle, or nightstand.
DIY Big Bow Pillowcases
Although I don’t sew, I know many of you do, and I truly admire you!
For those of our readers that do have the sewing gene (you, lucky people, you!) here is a fun tutorial from
raegun ramblings for how to create your very own
DIY Big Bow Pillowcases to add a little festivity to your home.
To create these, visit your local resale store and purchase linens, sheets, or the largest shirts you can find in your favorite festive colors.
Use this material to create your own pillowcase covers for Valentine’s Day.
DIY Valentine’s Day Centerpiece
If you are looking to add a little festivity to your dinner table or mantle, you will love this easy project created from a little vinyl and any type of glass item/jar that you can find at your local thrift store.
Fill your jar with festive conversation hearts and you have a fun & frugal centerpiece that you can use every year!
DIY Heart Sleeve Detail
I have been known to wear my heart on my sleeve so this project is perfect for a girl like me!
Just find a shirt, cardigan, or sweater you can add your heartfelt detail on and
use these easy directions from
hey love designs for creating an easy felt detail to your sweater.
This would be a fun one for a little girl in your life too and takes minimal sewing skills (yay, for those of us that dropped out of sewing school!) to make this sweet little project!
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
