Love, Love, Love: A DIY Valentine’s Day
February 6th, 2009 Jamie
Valentine’s Day (or Singles Awareness Day as some call it) is only a week away, so you’d better get started on your DIY-ing! Remember, you don’t have to have a boyfriend or girlfriend to enjoy the day there are a lot of people in your life who need some love! Send a card off to your BFF, your mama, or anyone else who could do with some more construction paper hearts in their life. (And ladies, if you don’t have a date may I recommend gathering some girls for some Jane Austen movies and a date with Ben and Jerry?)
Now on to the DIY-ing!
Rice Krispie Treat “Kisses.” These may possibly be the most adorable Valentine ever–Rice Krispie treats shaped like Hershey’s kisses, complete with the foil wrapper! I’d suggest involving a little chocolate, too–maybe a candy coating? Mmm.
Also try:
- Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Hearts
- DIY Valentine’s Lunchables
- Homemade Candy Bars
- Cherry Filled Chocolate Wafers
Felt ‘I Love You’ Book. Got a lot to say? Maybe more than will fit on a Hallmark card? Whip up one of these little books to share with your sweetie and fill it up with Reasons I Love You.
Also try:
Valentine’s Mobile. If you want easy and cute in one fell swoop, this sweet little mobile is your dream date. All you need is some scissors, paper, glue, and string.
Also try:
- Ribbon Roses (photo above!)
- Sewn Paper Valentines
lots of LOVE ♥

Jamie,
Great article, as always! I mentioned you in a blog post for findingDulcinea.com, the site I work for:

I also listed you in an article called “Surviving College Dorm Life” that will be publishing on our site next week (it’s actually linked in the blog post).
Keep up the good work!
