Valentine's Day Projects - Crafts Which Make Great Gifts

Are you looking for some fun Valentine's Day projects to carry out? These Valentine crafts make great gifts!

While a bouquet of flowers and a big box of chocolates are a nice gift for Valentine's Day, a more personal offering might be something that has been hand made by the gift giver.

An easy Valentine's Day project would be to make the recipient's favorite cookies and present them as a "Cookie Bouquet". Simply make the cookie recipe and cut out the dough in either heart or flower shapes, then bake.

Have ready some florist wire that you have wrapped with green florist tape - you can choose to make them "long-stem" flowers and present them in a long florist's box, or make the stems shorter and place in a red glass vase. Insert the wire "stems" into the cookies while they are still warm and allow to cool completely. Decorate the cookies with icing or frosting if you wish and place in the box or vase. This is a great project for the kids!

A plain terracotta plant pot decorated with acrylic paints is another easy Valentine's Day project for anyone to make. Choose a pot and paint flowers, hearts or a simple design on it. You can fill it with soil and plant seeds in it or offer the empty pot with a packet of seeds for a plant that you know the recipient will enjoy. Wrap the pot with colored cellophane and tie with a bow. Add your gift card and you're finished!

A more complicated Valentine's Day project for a Valentine gift is a plain glass candle holder decorated with beads. This can also be made by children, but they will need some help with this one.

For this Valentine's Day project, purchase a clear glass candle holder, enough clear or white glass beads to cover the candle holder for the background, and some red or pink beads for the decoration - which could be hearts or flowers, or both.

A hot glue gun is the best for this project, but if you are working with children, then regular white glue will work just as well - just make sure that the glue you use will be clear when it dries.

Make sure the candle holder is clean and dry, then draw your designs onto the sides - small and large versions of the same design look the best, such as one large heart or flower and two smaller ones.

Fill in the designs with the colored beads, making sure that they are firmly glued, then complete the white or clear background. Make sure this entire Valentine's Day project is completely dry before using with a candle or tea light inside.
