Valentine’s Day Crafts You Need to Try:
1. Heart-Shaped Pinata
What’s more fun than playing a game of pinata striking with your loved one? Also, if you load the pinata with things they love, this could be a perfect Valentine’s gift.
To make this pinata heart, you need a cardboard box. Cut it into a heart shape (you could select a readily-available heart-shaped cardboard box) and fill it with candy, small toys, or love notes. To wrap the pinata box, cut strips of tissue paper and fringe the edges by cutting every 1/2 inch. Seal the fringed tissue paper with glue and cover it along the cardboard. Attach a string to the top of the fringed pinata heart, hang it in a desired location, and let the fun begin!
2. Valentine Pop-Up Card
This idea may seem cliche, but this Valentine’s Day craft has the potential to make your bond stronger. You are sure to impress your beloved ones with a personalized hand-crafted pop-up card.
To make Valentine’s pop-up card, cut two pieces of paper of equal size(one for the outer side and the other for the inner side) and fold the inside paper in half to create a crease.
Now, draw a simple pop-up shape (heart, cupid, flower, etc.) and cut it along the outline. Decorate the card by adding messages, drawings, photos, or stickers. Apply glue to stick the pop-up shape and attach it to the inside of the card, aligning the folded crease to the center.
When the recipient opens the card, the pop-up shape will spring up, creating a fun and interactive surprise.
3. Memory Box
A simple yet creative gift idea that doesn’t require much effort and is going to be a treasure of your beautiful memories is a memory box.
To make a memory box, you need to get an old box and decorate it. Make it as personalized as possible by filling it with pictures of your adventures, dates, and much more. You can even add flowers or chocolates to make it even sweeter.
This gift will make the recipient feel overwhelmed and fall in love with you as they can relive those moments all over again.

Decorating your space for a romantic candlelight dinner or having a cozy movie night with your partner is a very thoughtful way of expressing your love.

Cut out heart shapes from cardstock, mold a wire to that shape, and insert string lights between the wires, as shown in the picture. Now remove the cardstock, wrap the wired frame with jute rope or wool, and your craft is ready.
