Valentine DIY ideas

Valentine’s Day is the perfect moment to get creative with children. Valentine crafting isn’t about perfection, it’s about having fun, spending time together and making something thoughtful for someone special. Whether you’re crafting at home, in the classroom or at childcare, these valentine DIY ideas are ideal for children of all ages and make lovely valentine DIY decorations too.

Heart garland

A lovely way to start is by making a heart garland. Using red and pink paper, children cut narrow strips, fold them in half and glue the ends together, gently shaping the paper into a heart. Once a small hole is added, the hearts can be threaded onto a piece of string. The result is a cheerful decoration that looks great around the house and is perfect for Valentine’s Day!

Heart caterpillar


Another favourite for younger children is the heart caterpillar. By cutting several hearts in the same size and sticking them together in a row, children create a playful little figure. Adding googly eyes or drawing a face on the first heart gives it plenty of character. This simple craft is ideal for younger children and a fun way to explore valentine DIY ideas in a hands-on way.

Looking for something a little different?


Our limited edition Valentine collection offers a unique valentine gift DIY option for older children and teenagers. With the resin heart kit, teens can create their own decorative heart. Fill it with candle sand to make a beautiful candle, and once the candle is used, the heart can be reused as a jewellery holder. This makes it a creative and reusable valentine gift homemade, perfect as a keepsake or something to enjoy yourself.

Heart flowers

For children who love giving presents, heart flowers are a sweet idea for valentine gift. By cutting several paper hearts and sticking them together in a circular shape, children create flower petals. Adding a straw or stick as the stem turns it into a handmade bouquet. It’s a simple way for children to make a valentine gift personalized for mum, dad, grandparents or a friend!

A Valentine gift you can actually use


A final craft that’s especially popular with older children is the mini serving board with a heart design. By mosaicking a heart onto a small wooden board, children create a valentine gift personalized that can still be used long after Valentine’s Day. This craft is part of our limited edition Valentine collection and is ideal for teenagers who enjoy making something creative that’s also practical!
