Handmade Valentines
If you’ve been planning a handmade Valentine’s Day but somehow haven’t quite got things started then here’s some inspiration. All these projects are either online tutorials or downloads so you can get going in minutes!
Anna at Mochimochi Land makes all kinds of cute and crazy knitted things. These sweet hearts are a free pattern so get your yarn out and go download it.
The Long Thread is a lovely blog about handmade things. These Lovebird cards are a free download but if they’re not quite what you’re after, there’s also a HUGE list of other free Valentine’s cards to print as well. Check it out!
Amy Karol is one of the better-known US crafters and seems to be able to turn her hand to anything with amazing results. These paper cut designs are available in her latest Mailorder issue and would make lovely cards. It’s $8 to download but it includes full instructions and bonus recipe!
Lupin is pretty much the Queen of Felt on these shores and has a bazillion clever tutorials on her blog. These lavender sachets would make a sweet Valentine gift.
And of course, there’s my Book Heart tutorial where I show you how to make my cute washi covered bookmarks. Perfect for a book lover.
Happy crafting!
