These gifts prove that you don’t need to spend much to give something meaningful. Here are the top four easiest DIY projects to gift this Valentine’s Day season.
#1: “100 Reasons Why I Love You” jar
This simple and easy craft can take you just five minutes to create. Start by selecting a jar or any container you like. Next, write 100 reasons why you love this person on 100 small slips of paper. Afterward, roll the paper and tie it with a piece of yarn or ribbon. To finish, decorate the outside of your jar as much as you desire, and don’t be afraid to get artistic with it: use some glitter, ribbons or paint.
#2: Scrapbook
A great way to showcase your creativity and favorite memories with someone is through photos. For this craft, you need an empty book or album, pictures, stickers, markers and glue. First, lay out everything you will be gluing on a page until you like how it looks. Then, glue the photos onto the page. Finally, you can decorate it with stickers or add personal notes to the book for a more creative appeal.
#3: Valentine’s Day bracelets
An easy DIY gift for a friend or partner can be as simple as a bracelet. Gather any kind of bead you like, such as an elastic beading cord or string and scissors. Start by measuring the string and cutting it to the desired length. Then, tie a knot on one end and add the beads through the string. Once you reach the middle of the bracelet, add a charm bead or letter beads spelling out a message like “BFF” or “XOXO.” Continue adding beads until you reach the end and tie another knot to complete the bracelet.
#4: Love coupon book
A personalized gift is an excellent way of showing how much you care about them. That’s why making these easy custom coupons for your loved ones shows how unique your relationship with them is. Start by brainstorming some ideas, showing off how you can easily spread a little joy to someone. Then, print out a template or create your coupons, then write them on paper. Some examples of what the coupons could say are; “Breakfast in Bed,” “Movie Night” or “A Homemade Dinner.” This gift is perfect if you are on a budget or want to share memorable experiences with the people you love most.
Overall, these DIY crafts are an easy way to show how much you care for a person. Take ten minutes out of your day to make an easy gift with a deep meaning that will be much appreciated by your loved ones, and allow you to show your creative side.
