It's officially the month of love! With less than two weeks until Valentine's Day—and Galentine's Day, of course—it's time to plan your gifts, your party, and your general plans for the day. No matter who you'll be spending the heart-filled day with, even if it'll just be you and your favorite bottle of wine, you should at least firm up some plans so you won't be rushing around the day before trying to figure out what to do. That being said, if you need some inspiration on what to buy or how to decorate, we have some ideas that check all those boxes—and they're all easy Valentine's Day crafts.
These heart-themed DIYs are perfect for people of all ages to make and give. That said, some are a bit more complicated than others, so if you're looking for Valentine's Day crafts for adults, we've got you covered. Below, we've listed options that are great for the classroom, such as Valentine's Day mail bags and rose-colored glasses made out of construction paper, and DIY decor ideas you'll want to show off, like cute and sustainable heart-shaped pillows and a succulent garden. We've even got some ideas for people whose stomach is the way to their heart, like cookie kits and heart-shaped pizzas.
No matter the age or even the zodiac sign of the person you love, they'll cherish these Valentine's Day crafts, and you'll have fun making them. You could even pick one out to make together—wouldn't that be sweet?
