One very crafty lady is Lee Hansen who makes lots of printable designs. She has created 3 very cute heart shaped boxes that you can print off and make yourself with a home printer.
The heart shaped boxes are easy to fold and make. Instructions are included on each pdf file. You get some hearts too that you can cut out for decoration.
When the boxes have been made up, you can use them to hold small gifts and treats inside such as chocolates or candy. I think they'd make pretty little wedding favor boxes as well.
String up the boxes with some ribbon to make cute little baskets. You could use my sugar cookie recipe to bake up some heart shaped cookies to place inside. Alternatively, fill them with small items such as love notes mini bath and beauty items, DIY Valentine coupons or candy.
I love to buy the plain paper mache heart boxes. These are sturdy shaped boxes which come as undecorated cardboard with lids provided. You can use decoupage and paper mache techniques to glue patterned paper over the top. Alternatively, you can cover them with paint or stickers instead. The boxes can then be filled with a Valentine treat for the one you love.

44: This Valentine Craft Makes a Quick DIY Felt Heart Garland to Put Up in Your Home
Click Here to Make My Easy Heart Garland from Felt
Felt is a great fabric to work with and especially when you need to make things in a hurry. Here's my tutorial to make a quick little garland using hearts cut out from felt.
To make it even quicker and easier for you, there is a free printable heart shape template included on the page. Add in some cord or twine and some colorful buttons to make your own design look unique.
Felt is a fun and easy fabric to use. It isn't normally associated with adult crafting but it is definitely great for that purpose and especially when mixed with other fabrics.
I wanted a quick and easy heart shaped garland to hang up in my daughter's bedroom for February 14th celebrations. She loved it so much that it ended up staying all year. I made mine in shades of pink to suit where it was going but you can make yours in a very different color scheme. You don't have to stick to obvious Valentine color schemes either.
My daughter and I really love the color pink, so we tend to use that quite a lot in our crafting sessions and it is a great choice for a Valentine's theme. Why not experiment with some very different color combinations such as blue and purple hearts for more of a winter look or black and white for a very adult and classic combination which has style.
45: Sew Up Some Little Plush Felt Hearts with Felt and Fabric
This is my step by step tutorial on hand stitching some small plush felt hearts using felt, fabric, toy stuffing and my all time favorite blanket stitch. There is a free printable heart shape template provided to help you which should make you complete the project even faster.
You can easily see that these little felt hearts have been made with love. Since they are designed to be small, you can use up whatever cute felt and fabric scraps you have to make them with. They are very easy to sew by hand although there is nothing to stop you from using a sewing machine instead.
Make them into scented drawer liners by filling the insides with scented dried flowers such as lavender, they would be ideal for this.
Mine were transformed into hanging ornaments with the addition of a loop of ribbon. I've hung my hearts from door knobs and drawers in the home. If you have a Valentine's Day tree, you could make these as ornaments to hang from one.
The plush felt hearts can also make cute Valentine's or even wedding party favors that can easily be added to party boxes and bags for guests to take away. Having a handmade item is even more special.

58: Make a Key to My Heart Perler Bead Craft to Give to a Loved One
Click Here for a Tutorial to Make this Perler Bead Design
Perler beads are are fun craft and one that is great for adults to try too. I loved making this key to my heart design which is made up using gold color, brown and red beads.
If you've never used these fused beads before, you work the pattern of beads across a peg board. It is pretty hard to go wrong when you are following someone else's design. You may find these beads listed as Perler beads or Hama beads depending where you live. They all operate in a very similar way.
Once all the Perler beads are in the right place, you position some special ironing paper on top and then iron over to fuse or melt the beads so they stick together and create a finished design.
When your key and heart craft project is finished, you can decide on the best way to present this completed craft to your Valentine. These designs can work on the front of a handmade Valentine's card or presented in a deep set photo frame to hang on a wall. I put mine in a sweet looking presentation box ready for gifting.

72: Easy to Make Chocolate Dipped Heart Cookies
Click Here for My Instructions to Make and Decorate these Heart Cookies
I don't like to spend too much time baking because I'd rather be crafting.
Cookies are generally pretty easy to make and these ones look very effective when finished but don't take too much time away from other things.
I used an easy sugar cookie recipe and melted some milk chocolate for decoration but you could use chocolate cookie dough and white chocolate for a very different look.
More Cookie Ideas for this Occasion Here
If cooking is not your thing, use a cookie mix instead of following the sugar cookie recipe. It is then very simple to make some melted chocolate and add on some rainbow sprinkles for effective and fast decorating of these sweet heart cookies.
Another alternative is to grab some pre-made heart shaped cookies from a grocery store so you only have to think about how to decorate them to give to someone special. They do so often say that the way to win (and keep) a heart is to use food as an incentive.
