DIY LOVE EDITION

By: Rachel Rubinstein  | February 6, 2025


Love is in the air! Valentine's Day is the perfect time to get creative with your kids and make heartfelt memories through fun and easy crafts. Whether you're decorating your home or spending quality time together, these DIY ideas are sure to spark joy and love.


Paperchain Decorations

Bring some Valentine's cheer to your home or kids’ bedrooms by creating colorful paperchains. Cut strips of paper in pinks, reds, and whites, and loop them together to form a chain. It’s an easy craft that even little hands can help with!




 

Heart Stamps

Repurpose a paper towel roll to make adorable heart-shaped stamps. Simply bend the roll into a heart shape, dip it into paint, and stamp away! These are perfect for homemade Valentine’s cards or decorative art projects.




Yarn-Wrapped Hearts

For a tactile craft, try making yarn-wrapped hearts. Cut heart shapes out of sturdy cardboard and wrap them with colorful yarn to create a textured, festive decoration. They make great gifts or ornaments for around the house!




Heart Suncatchers

Brighten up your windows with heart-shaped suncatchers. Using tissue paper and clear contact paper, kids can design their own stained-glass effect. Hang them in a sunny spot for a magical touch.

 

These simple and creative projects are a wonderful way to celebrate love and togetherness while encouraging your child’s creativity. Have fun crafting and making this Valentine’s Day extra special!

💕 Happy Crafting! 💕
