Valentine’s Day isn’t supposed to be a big, expensive holiday. It’s supposed to be a “from the heart” day. Nothing says “from the heart” better than handmade Valentine’s Day gifts! While you’re crafting some sweet goodies to give away to loved ones, why not take some extra time to add some pretty decorations to your home too? Check out my favorite handmade Valentine’s Day gifts & decorations from a few of my favorite bloggers.

Easy & Sweet Handmade Valentine’s Day Projects

Craft this cute Valentine’s Day candle holder from OurFamilyWorld using dollar store supplies! Add your own special scented candle (perhaps one of those fancy ones that turn into massage oil as it melts, cue sexy music now) and you have the perfect DIY gift!

I adore this 1950s style Valentine’s Kiss Bottle from Organized 31! It makes a beautiful decoration on your mantle until the big day. Then you can give it as a gift to your honey! Of course, you can always enjoy the kisses yourself if you’re flying solo.

Another beautiful Valentine’s Day craft that works as both a decoration and a gift, find this Secret Love Notes pillow cover tutorial over at It Happens in a Blink.

Ellen over at Confessions of an Overworked Mom is one of my all-time favorite bloggers. She’s incredibly talented at creating crafts that average people like me can actually do, like this darling Chevron Candy Tin DIY Valentine’s Day Gift.

I think this DIY Valentine’s Day Soap Gift from Carolyn’s Home Work is such a clever and unique idea! She tells you how to make the cute soap wrap to cover store-bought soaps. I recommend buying handmade soaps from a soapmaker, they’re awesome. My mom used to make them.

Everyone loves gifts in a jar, right? Home Cooking Memories has three sweet handmade Valentine’s Day gifts in jars for you! My favorite is the Smores recipe! Isn’t it just pretty in pink?
