Simple DIY Valentine Cards

This Valentine’s Day give your loved one something that comes from your heart, and your hands, with this simple DIY Valentine Cards craft.

This Valentine Card is not your ordinary gift. The presentation comes in a blush pink box and when your sweetheart opens it, several cards and mementos will pop up – a true explosion Valentine’s experience! You can purchase this explosion box, here.

Ready to craft?! Let’s get started.

First, gather your favorite photos and sentimental items. Think about including movie or concert tickets, a pressed flower from a special date night, or a brochure from a recent trip.

Once you’ve gathered your materials, next organize pieces from this DIY Valentine Card kit and choose which paper cutouts you’d like to use.

Now it’s time to decorate! Start gluing your pictures and mementos to various parts of the unfolded box. We recommend utilizing a few of the envelopes as well so your sweetheart can have multiple items to open.

Once you’re satisfied with your presentation, let the glue dry. After the glue dries, it’s time to fold up your box! Start from the center and fold inward within each layer. Once you get to the last layer, use one hand to fold all sides of the box and the other hand to place the lid on top. The lid is what keeps your box together, so make sure it’s fitted properly.

Add a bow and you’re done! We know your Valentine will feel special by this handcrafted gift. We’d love to see their reaction; tag us on Instagram so we can join the fun.

Sometimes the best holiday gift is a thoughtful, handmade gift. If you are feeling extra crafty and have some spare time to do a little DIY, then homemade gifts are the way to go. If you don’t know where to begin, here are three simple crafts you can create: a wreath for their front door, a garland for their home, or an ornament for their Christmas tree! Making homemade gifts can also become a great Christmas tradition that you can do every year.

Organize a Secret Santa Gift Exchange with Friends 🎅🤶🧑‍🎄

One of the most exciting things about the holidays is the anticipation of opening presents and gifting those you love with items you know they’ll enjoy. This is the perfect opportunity for you to show your love to your friends by hosting a Secret Santa Gift Exchange. To make sure everyone receives the gifts they desire, begin by writing a wishlist with items from different price ranges so that their Secret Santa can buy gifts off of this list. Then, set a minimum and maximum budget so everyone is spending roughly the same amount. This way, everyone will be happy with their gifts and hopefully, no one will get disappointed.

Make a Holiday Playlist 🎶

One of the best ways to get into the holiday spirit is to be surrounded by holiday music. Imagine this: you’re brewing your favorite cup of coffee in the morning while a classic holiday tune is playing in the background. Sounds like a perfect way to start your day right? Music can play a large role in affecting our mood, so why not create a holiday playlist that you know will make you feel cozy and happy? To begin, we suggest listening to a few pre-made holiday playlists for inspiration. Then, add the ones that you like to your own playlist!
