Valentine’s Day DIY Projects

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and today I wanted to showcase some fun ways to add a little Valentine’s fun to your house using items you can often find at your local thrift shop.

The best part about these projects is that the are inexpensive and oh-so-easy to create!

 

 

 

If snow globes are your thing, I adore these sweet little Snow Globe Jars that you can create for Valentine’s Day.

I also love that they are inspired by one of my favorite out-of-my-budget shops, Anthropolgie (@ whiperberry)

 

 

Tunnel Of Love Art

Free printables abound and can be a fun way to dress up a wall, table, or mantle without spending a lot of money for holiday occasions.

Spray paint a Goodwill frame a bold red and insert this adorable free printable in your frame for a fun nod to the holiday that sits perfectly in your budget!  (@ Flamingo Toes)

 

 

Crochet Heart Garland

If you have the talent for crochet, this adorable Crochet Heart Garland is a fun project to create to decorate a mantle or to drape over a window.

Check your favorite thrift store for items like yarn and crochet needles in the craft supplies section of your store. (@ design sponge)

 

 

Valentine’s Day Wreath

Wreaths are often donated to thrift stores and can easily be updated with a few homemade additions.

This tutorial for loopy felt flowers and rosettes are the perfect way to dress up a wreath in bright Valentine’s Day colors with just a few dollars in felt (@ The Motherload)

 

 

 

Yarn Wrapped Letters

Yarn projects are one of my favorites because they are so inexpensive to create and, frankly, I’ve got a lot of yarn in this house of mine!

These yarn wrapped letters are a fun way to repurpose a ball of yarn in your home and can be created with a variety of sweet phrases for the holiday. (@ Family Chic)

 

 

 

Valentine’s Day Bunting

Buntings can be created from a variety of inexpensive or recycled items.

I love to use large pieces like a sheet, tablecloth, or curtain material to create my fabric projects because they offer so much fabric for your money.

Hunt for fun prints in pinks & reds to create a simple fabric bunting to dress up your mantle. (@ It’s My Story)

 

 

Fabric Painted Hearts

Fabric painting is a fun way to spice up a shirt or a bag for the Valentine’s Day season.

This sweet and easy tutorial for a fabric painted heart would be a fun craft project to try on a white t-shirt for yourself or for your kids (@ V and Co.)

What are some of your favorite Valentine’s Day projects to do with your family?
