Creative Valentine’s Crafts For Adults
1. DIY stamped wrapping paper
Create your very own wrapping paper to package your Valentine’s gifts in! Homemade wrapping paper is super easy to make and brings an elevated touch to the gifts you give.
All you need is kraft paper in whatever color you prefer. Then choose stamps like these gorgeous heart stamps and design your very own wrapping paper!
If you don’t feel like spending extra money you can use old paper grocery bags and raw potatoes for stamps! Carve your potatoes into heart shapes to make simple DIY stamps!
2. Pressed flower bookmarks or wall art
Flowers are an essential part of Valentine’s Day! Whether you want to preserve your flowers fresh or wait until they dry out for a more rustic look, there are plenty of crafts you can make with them!
- Bookmarks (Here are some cute bookmarks with tassels!)
- Wall art (cute frames to use as desk or wall decor)
- Notebook covers
- Stationary
- Coasters (natural wood slices that match the rustic look of the flowers!)
*Make sure you pick up some Modge Podge to seal your flowers after pressing them!
3. Homemade candles in fun shapes
Create homemade candles by using coconut wax, essential oils, and fun molds!
I love all the unique candle molds that create the cutest candles. Add in some floral scents and you have the perfect festive Valentine gift!

4. DIY Valentine’s wreaths
Ok so the wreath above is absolutely stunning but I promise you can make one too! Don’t be intimidated.
All you need is a grapevine wreath, some flexible wire for security, and the flowers of your choosing. Try to support local farmers if you can!
You can keep it all natural with leaves and flowers or add in felt heart-shaped pieces for a more festive touch!
5. Friendship bracelets
I love that friendship bracelets are making a comeback even for adults! I have so many fond memories of making them with friends and having a cute piece of matching jewelry.
If you are hosting a Galentine’s party, Friendship bracelets are a must for a fun activity!
Stop by your local craft store or pick up a Valentine’s ‘s-themed bead set! I love that this set has charms.
6. DIY Valentine’s bath bombs
Be your own Valentine this year by creating a luxurious spa-like experience for yourself. Make some simple bath bombs and add your own unique flair with gold glitter and dried rose petals.
Ingredients for bath bombs:
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup citric acid (what creates the fizz)
- 1/2 cup Epsom salts (for relaxation)
- 1/2 cup cornstarch (makes the bath bomb silky)
- 2 1/2 tbsp. coconut oil (or any other carrier oil like almond or olive oil)
- 1 tsp. water
- 15-20 drops essential oil (such as lavender, peppermint, or chamomile)
- A few drops of food coloring (optional, for color)
- Silicone mold or bath bomb molds
Mix up all of the ingredients, make sure it is compact in your molds and you’re good to go!
Make sure you store them in an air-tight container like a glass jar so they don’t disintegrate.

7. Valentine’s garland made of paper or wood
Use paper cutouts or even felt cutouts to make cute Valentine’s signage.
If you love sewing, homemade felt letters are perfect because you can use them for years to come! Fill them with leftover newspaper so they are nice and puffy.
Here are some simple Valentine’s messages you can create for your garland:
- Happy Valentine’s Day
- XOXO (with hearts in between)
- Individual conversation hearts strung together
- All we need is love
- Be mine
- Love, Love, Love
8. Jewelry dish Valentine’s pottery with air dry clay
Use air-dry clay to create mini dishes and trinkets to hold your Valentine’s jewelry.
You can also make magnetic picture frames, coasters, earrings, and clay beads for jewelry making (like friendship bracelets!).
Use pink or red paint and add some hearts and you have the perfect Valentine’s twist to your air-dry craft!
9. Valentine’s home decor like macrame wall hangings
Gather some yarn and wood to make a beautiful macrame wall hanging.
Technically this can be left up all year long but it’s a fun twist to add Valentine’s color yarn and hearts for a festive look!
10. Homemade stationery and love letters
Make your own stationery to send your homemade Valentine’s in!
Collect cute stickers, envelopes, and cuttings from magazines to make a set of unique but useful stationery packs.
You can use some of the leftover candle wax from above for a classic look.

11. Needle point to make pillowcases, t-shirts, or hats
I know this list was supposed to be easy crafts but I had to add this one to the list because there are so many different ways you can use needlepoint or embroidery to make personalized crafts and gifts!
If you use a needle point kit it isn’t too tricky to get started! Just be sure to draw on your design with a pencil before you start sewing!
