If you're looking to add a personal touch to your Valentine's Day 2024 celebrations, consider these DIY craft ideas. There's something here for every age, skill level, and aesthetic preference.
Wooden Puzzle Blocks
With 4 wooden blocks, craft paint, glitter, Mod Podge, paper, a pencil, scissors, and a muslin pouch or a box, you can create a festive puzzle. The process involves painting the blocks, making a heart shape template, drawing the heart, and sealing each block with glitter and Mod Podge. Remember to safely store your completed puzzle in a pouch or box.
Floral Heart Decoration
A floral heart decoration made of Styrofoam and fake flowers is a great way to spread the love. Using a serrated bread knife, cut out a heart shape from Styrofoam. Then, place and glue the flowers onto the heart. Add an arrow made from balsa wood and glitter paper. Finally, affix hanging hooks and use a transparent fishing line to hang your DIY decoration.
Painted Pebble Tic-Tac-Toe
Great for a kindergarten activity, this painted pebble tic-tac-toe game is fun and easy to make. You'll need a muslin pouch, cardboard or wood, paint, a brush, and ten pebbles. Paint hearts and X's on the pebbles, draw your tic-tac-toe board on the cardboard or wood, and keep everything neatly stored in the pouch.
Balloon Heart Valentine’s Card
Express your feelings with a homemade card. Use rose or red acrylic paint, a paper roll, a cut-out photo, white card paper, glue, and a black pen. Attach the photo to the bottom of the card and paint heart balloon shapes. Add string lines with the pen and write a heartfelt message.
Friendship Jewelry
Create friendship jewelry with craft foam sheets, jewelry beads, scissors, and string. Cut the foam sheets into rectangles, fold them and shape them into hearts. Punch holes in the hearts, attach them to the string, add beads, and tie the ends.
Valentine’s Disco Ball
Bring some sparkle to your Valentine's Day with a disco ball. Clean your disco ball, paint red heart shapes on the squares, let it dry, and inscribe a sweet note on it.
Love Bug Craft
An easy craft for kids, the love bug requires a paper roll, scissors, paint, a brush, glue, googly eyes, a black marker, pipe cleaners, and red or pink card paper. Prepare your love bug by cutting and painting the roll, attaching heart-shaped wings, pipe cleaner antennae, and adding googly eyes and a mouth.
