The Ultimate DIY Valentine Round Up

Valentine’s Day is my jam. I LOVE creating new, homemade, printable cards for my kids to take to school for their parties. As a result, I have an awesomely huge selection for you to choose from if you are also interested in DIY Valentines. Check out all my candy and non-candy options below. I also have some awesome recipes, crafts and fun odds and ends. I will update this list as my new Valentines get published! Happy Valentine’s Day!

DIY Valentine Cards

What is better than gummy bears and bear puns? Not much! This Bear DIY Valentine is one of the harder cards we have made because it involves cutting out two color bears (one for the back and one for the front), in addition to the heart with the message. It’s a really sweet card though, so totally worth the effort.

This high five DIY Valentine might be candy free – which is a bonus for some, but the trade off is the noise. The clappers are technically a noise maker, but we thought it was such a cute idea and a nice break from the candy.

The I Spy DIY Valentine is one of the newest in our collection of printable cards. This darling card combines as a toy with the magnifying glass. Perfect for the little detectives at your house.

The sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day! Get out the shades and celebrate Valentine’s Day with the star sunglasses DIY Valentine. Love this non-candy option that is useful as well.

Yum cake, that is a great way to tell someone you want them to be your Valentine. This “piece of cake” DIY Valentine is a great bag topper.

By far the most popular (and the first!) printable Valentine is this Starburst DIY Valentine. It also involves cutting the shooting star, and a regular star and gluing them together, but it’s simple enough and makes for a unique, and darling card.

 

 

 

No sour faces here with the lemon heads on this bright DIY Valentine! You can use whatever patterned paper for the sun that we want. I liked the contrast for a patterned yellow paper and a solid center of the sun. I think this is a bright and cheerful card, perfect for the holiday of love!

This darling two-step Valentine (print and cut) has a tasty play on words featuring airheads. You can get everything you need for Love is in the “air DIY Valentine here.

DIY Valentine Mailboxes

I dreamed of creating a hot air balloon DIY Valentine mailbox. While it turned out pretty cut, you do need to use a large basket (or box) underneath to hold all your goodies.

My favorite DIY Valentine mailbox we have ever created is this darling robot. It’s a combination of paper, pipe cleaner and sticker paper to makes this cute box. It might look difficult, but we have easy directions and all the printable pieces for you!

Princesses get ready to create a lovely pretty pink castle DIY Valentine mailbox. This is great for princess lovers and can be easily sized to the box you use behind it.
