It’s that time of the year again where I get to kick it into gear and get moving on some super fun DIY Valentine’s Day projects! One of my favorites? Looking for ideas to make homemade valentines for classmates at my son’s school. This is the first year my son is in school and yes… I’m super excited to help him pick out what kind of Valentine’s cards we’re going to give his friends! Luckily, it didn’t take him too long to find a winner, so we’re currently busy on the gifts for his class. He’s so excited! I also really love to find ideas that aren’t completely focused on candy. I like being able to provide something more than sugar and calories and some of the ideas below I’m totally going to use for this purpose! I hope you find the perfect valentine to make below. I promise it’s not too hard and all are generally very cost-effective. Have fun!
