Mindy’s Picks

  1. Valentine paper globes are such a unique idea. This post links to a pattern so you can make them yourself.

  2. There aren’t many cute, heart-shaped things that make acceptable male Valentine’s Day gifts, but no one could turn down mini cheesecakes. Last weekend I bought two mini springform heart pans to make my boyfriend chocolate raspberry Chambord cheesecake. Mmmm.

  3. I will admit I was skeptical when I saw “How to Make a Valentine from an Onion,” but this really blew me away. Well done Jeffrey.

Caley’s Picks

  1. Everyone loves fresh flowers, but they are a bit pricey in our current economic climate no? I really appreciate rose alternatives for Valentine’s Day with a bit more staying power. These beaded red roses are unique and the project directions really simplify the process of making them yourself.

  2. Here is another great alternative to fresh flowers, which can be used again and again for Valentine’s Day. This pink flower-petal wreath uses silk flowers, is super easy to make and it’s just as pretty as can be!

  3. For more romantic Valentine’s Day decor, you can skip the bright pinks and reds. I love the key embellishment in these shiny ornaments, made from broken pearl necklaces.

Kelly’s Picks:

  1. These handmade Valentine’s by The Purl Bee are so simple yet they look totally adorable and even make a great decoration when hung up all together.  I love the crochet detailing.

  2. This Lollipop Flower tutorial by Craft Elf is so easy to follow and the project comes out looking great without having to spend a ton on supplies.  This could be a fun Valentine for your child to take to class and pass out or make them for your coworkers!
