13 Easy Valentine’s Day Projects

Do you miss the days of youth when you’d make your own Valentine’s Day cards and hand them out at school?  I remember in Girl Scouts one of our holiday projects was to create a unique Valentine. I glued buttons on mine and was quite proud … but Jennifer Mitchell ended up winning our contest because she had a red cardinal glued to hers. Clearly her mother helped her make it. I thought she should be disqualified. Dejected and heartbroken, I tucked my buttoned Valentine under my arm and marched home. Homemade Valentines are special and I still enjoy making them despite my discouraging experience as a scout. Today I’m sharing a roundup of 13 easy Valentine’s Day projects for you … and some of them even have buttons!

DIY Button HeartSo adorable! I love this Button Heart Valentine by Carolyn’s Homework. Simply arrange your buttons and sew them in place. Use an embroidery hoop for a frame and add a bow.
