There are so many cute DIY valentines day gifts out there! So I organized all the coolest ones in on place. And categorized them based on who you might be gifting to. A valentines gift for everyone on your list.
Couldn’t get too far into February without sharing my picks for cool DIY Valentines day gifts this year. Many of these can be done last minute too, so if you’re a procrastinator, I got you.
You can grab a valentines printable and call it a day, checkout classroom valentines, craft a V-Day DIY for a friend, grab an idea for guy gifts, or whip up a valentines day recipe. Click through for all 43 Valentine’s Day DIY gift ideas.
Homemade Valentine gifts are so special, imo because the person you give them to will know you put in the extra effort of making something and have been thinking of them long before February 14th.
To make things easier, I’ve broken down the Valentine DIYs into different sections, based on who you’d be giving the gift to. Hope that helps!
Classroom Valentines Ideas
1. This fabric snail valentines from Laura Preitto is adorable!
2. Easy preschool valentine craft – so cute and simple to recreate!
3. I put together these vehicle and construction themed valentine for classmates for my son last year and would definitely make them again. They’re a little bit DIY and a little bit buy. Check ’em out.
4. How clever is this tear apart valentine from The House that Lars Built? The apples! The flower petals!
5. cupcake paper seashell art from Handmade Charlotte
I think the DIY artwork would be so cute for a kids room – great DIY Valentine gift imo. Maybe add a cute phase to the back to make it feel more V-day inspired…like ‘you’re a spe-shell friend’ or something like that.
6. stuffed paper hearts from Martha Stewart
A classic gift idea! Can’t go wrong with some paper hearts with a surprise inside – candy, kids jewelry, a toy, etc.
7. EGGstra special Valentine from The House that Lars Built
I absolutely love these valentine printables – super unique and cool. I am pretty sure that no one else in your kid’s class will have these…but everyone will wonder where they’re from.
DIY Valentine gifts for kids
8. homemade wooden car valentines
I made a wood block car for Hayes and I think it would be a really cute DIY Valentines gift for a preschooler
9. macaroni box cameras DIY from Handmade Charlotte
My son is always taking pictures. He would love these DIY cameras made out of old macaroni boxes. I could see these working as classroom valentines too, if you have the time.
10. I love you ‘berry’ much valentine
If you have a strawberry lover on your hands, check out my clay strawberries tutorial. It’s one of my fave air dry clay projects…probably because I love strawberries so much. Would work well for Valentine’s Day crafting.
11. bean mosaic valentine from Handmade Charlotte
This one takes a bit more effort than some of the others, but I think it’s worth it. Making a mosaic gift for Valentine’s Day would be epic.
12. molded crayon Valentine’s Day idea
You could try melting crayons into cute shapes inspired by your child’s interests. A favorite animal, letters, rainbows – they make all kinds of silicones mold that would work for something like this.
13. artsy valentine paint palettes
If you have an artsy kiddo (or friend for that matter), my paint palette DIY is a cute one. And super affordable, since its made with air dry clay.
DIY Valentine gifts for her
14. A beaded asymmetrical necklace DIY never hurt nobody.
15. I will never stop shouting from the rooftops how to make soy candles because they are such an easy gift idea!
And they’re completely unfussy too….no need to wrap it up in a box, just give it as is for a casual but thoughtful gift.
16. Flower mirror DIY idea! So, this exact rendition might not be great for last minute V-Day stuff.
BUT you could definitely do something similar on a smaller scale with grocery store flowers or even just some greenery around your entryway mirror, etc.

21. Love these DIY giant cupid’s arrow balloons from Studio DIY.
22. Making a potholder for a friend with a potholder loom would be a cute DIY valentine idea. With a saying like, ‘you keep my heart warm’ or ‘I love the friendship we’ve woven’.
