Creative St Valentine's Day: discover adorable hand-made gift ideas for those you love
On Valentine's Day it is nice to exchange small trinkets of our love with the people closest to us, and gift ideas are truly endless. But to give someone something truly unique - or to accompany a purchased gift with something more original than the usual flowers or chocolates - it is possible to draw on many craft ideas that can be made by hand.
With DIY projects you can, in fact, create many adorable, original objects which can be customized to your taste and which express all the love and affection that binds us to our dear ones. Take a look at the ideas below:
A bunch of paper hearts, perhaps even glittered or printed in color, to be fixed onto sticks or long skewers - and here you will give a handmade bouquet and these are flowers that will not wither and die.
Create the structure of a tree with wire (or other metal that is malleable but also sturdy), then wrap the various branches with strips of LED lights, fixed in place with adhesive tape or drops of hot glue. Finally, cover everything with a ball of twine, wool or cotton yarn, or even ribbon and then fill the branches with hearts!
instead of a bouquet of flowers, these DIY hearts make one think of a flowering plant, and for this reason they are beautiful in a vase. Perhaps you can put it in a pot of a real plant that goes dormant in winter and it can become a type of "place holder" for it!
When it is said that someone is the light of our life!
An ingenious technique for a heart-shaped decoration to hang up: take long balloons whose shape creates a heart (or twist them into heart shapes), then wrap them with string or wool thread steeped in vinyl glue. Wait for it to dry and if you want you can also paint with a color of your choice. Then pop the balloon, et voila!
A garland of intertwined hearts to hang up to celebrate Valentine's Day together.
A nice idea for a hanging picture made with threads knotted around tacks and arranged in the shape of a heart on a wooden board, to create an captivating design.
Lavender-scented bags to leave in the drawers - one of those trinkets that reminds us of our affection for someone every day.
Why not leave love messages for someone in handmade fortune cookies?
Or how about creating many love letters put into felt envelopes (but also of other materials can be used) and hung in a garland?
You can also use your creativity in wrapping the gift for your loved one - with just a little string and paper or felt hearts!
Happy Saint Valentine's Day!
