It doesn’t have to take a lot of money to make a great Valentine’s Day. Plus, what’s more fun than handing your S.O. or friend something you made with love and care and your own two hands. While Valentine’s Day traditions are very nice (I would not turn down anyone giving me free chocolate) it’s always so much more fun to give someone a homemade gift. Here are twenty easy DIYs that you can do for Valentine’s Day.
