Sharing the Love: 50 Ideas for Making Your Own Valentines

There’s something super sweet about handmade valentines. Some of my favorite memories from childhood involve sitting at the kitchen table (covered head to toe with glue and glitter!) making cards for my friends.

Ok, let’s be honest…..this scenario still happens at my house today, even as an adult. Every year on Valentine’s Day, my sweetie and I exchange homemade valentines and it is my FAVORITE thing! Of course, I’ve already started brainstorming this year’s card and found so many adorable ones that I just had to share a few! If you’re looking for creative valentines that you can make yourself or together with the kidlets, then I have you covered with 50 inspirational ideas. For detailed instructions and free printables, the links below the images will take you to the original source.
