How do you show your love on Valentine’s Day? Do you buy flowers? Give out chocolates? Send sweet cards to loved ones or perform random acts of kindness? If you’re a crafter, you might opt to create a homemade Valentine’s Day gift instead! Blog contributor Tina Kistinger created her own DIY Valentine’s Day gifts and even added her own sweet twist to the project — check it out!
Tina’s Inspiration:
This DIY Valentine’s Day gift is a sweet treat to give to family, friends, and next-door acquaintances that shows your love. It’s great for a make and take workshop project, as well as a party gift to give to attendees. I enjoy creating projects that use chocolate squares — I’m definitely a chocolate lover!

Step 2: Score the long side at 3/4″, 4 1/4″ and 4 1/2″. Round the corners using the 2-Way Corner Rounder.
Step 3: Cut a piece of designer paper for the front to measure 3″ x 2″ and adhere to the front as shown. Decorate the front with a heart sticker.
Step 4: Fold up the 3/4″ flap and use a single staple in the middle. Cover using the heart sticker border and trim using Micro-Tip Scissors.

Can’t wait to use this as our “Make-n-Take” later this month. I’ve put a note at the bottom of the instructions that this could be used as a Christmas treat with Christmas paper and stickers.
Now that I think about it, it could also be used as a Trick-or-Treat goodie with Halloween paper and stickers!
