Valentine's ideas

Valentine's Day is coming up. Are you thinking of warming the hearts of your loved ones with your handmade crafts? I love crafting. I love the smile of my hubby receiving special gifts I designed just for him! 


1. Photo collage: Most if not all couples have millions of photo. Thinking of creative ways to put pictures together. Try this amazing software Shape Collage, which works on Mac and windows computers both.
Here is a heart shaped collage composed of pictures. You can also get more creative and customize your own shape, or words. Just like these two below:


Cover the world with your world pictures!!


Like it? Get started!!

2. Candy boat
Every person has a little sweet teeth deep inside. Valentine is all about candies. So go creative with your candies.
Here are some Candy boat designs. 


What do you think to make it happen? Some colorful paper and wooden stick. How long does it take? 10-20 mins top. Here are step-by-step paper boat making instructions! Have fun. Go sailing your love boats!

3. Vacation keepsakes composed of letters, tickets, maps, souvenirs...



I know my heart would melt, if I receive a gift like this!

4. Make a Valentine's Tree
Can you sew? If so, SEW! :)



Oh, isn't it beautiful!! Great to anniversary too. Make one each year. Sew a love not from your both inside. Imagine how the tree will look like in 50 years time. and what great family heritage to give to your children!

5. Heart-shaped book mark.
For your loved ones who love to read. 

It's really easy and pretty, isn't it? 

6. Heart shape tea bag tags
For your loved ones who love drink tea... Just like me...
Replace some tea tags with hand made hearts with your personal notes. How sweet is that!

7. Felt Fortune cookies
Tell your loved ones how fortunate you are with a fortune cookie. It's easy to make too. 


Happy Valentine's Day, Everyone! Happy Crafting!
