10 Unique Valentine Craft Ideas

Unique Valentine craft ideas must offer you something you've never seen before. And they must turn out looking stunning-homemade, but in the loveliest sort of way. The Valentine crafts I've gathered here are unique and easy to make. Best of all, they are not even expensive. So make your gifts true tokens of your love this year with one of these unique Valentine craft ideas.

#1. Lovers Intertwined

This unique Valentine craft idea revolves around M. E. Escher's famous drawing: "Bond of Union". I got my copy out of an old calendar, but you can also print the image online. Once you cut the heads of the intertwined lovers and remove all the background, the lovers will appear more like a sculpture than a print. To make this unique Valentine craft even more beautiful, I framed the lovers in a shadow box (from a craft store). This is a perfect Valentine craft for people who are deeply in love. See the pictures and instructions for making this unique Valentine craft.

#2. Lover's Birdhouse

This unique Valentine craft idea is perfect for young love birds. At a craft store buy a small wood birdhouse. Spray paint it in shimmering pink. Tie a pink glitter ribbon around its bottom. Then decorate your Valentine craft with stamps, stickers, glitter stars and any other decorating knickknacks from your craft store. You can write a Valentine poem, roll it with a pink ribbon, then slip it inside the birdhouse opening. Or you can place two craft store birds inside, labeled with your names. In short personalize this unique Valentine craft idea to make it meaningful for you and your Valentine.

#3. Eternal Love Mirror

This unique Valentine craft creates a play on words before your very eyes. Begin with a simple hand mirror which you can find at your local pharmacy. Spray paint the mirror with hammered gold or copper, to give it a more elegant finish (there's no need to protect the mirror). Next, cut a large sepia image of your Valentine's face to fit the size of the mirror perfectly. Cover the center of the image, then spray the edges with frosted glass paint to lend the picture a timeless, dreamy appearance. Finish making this unique Valentine craft by sticking the doctored photo over the mirror. Give this Valentine craft with a card that reads: "To me you will never change".

#4. The Perfect Valentine

This unique Valentine craft idea united several techniques into a single craft. First glue thick watercolor canvas or paper to the back of some Valentine wrapping paper. Next, fold the paper vertically in half, then cut it in the shape of half a heart. Next, create glitter letters with which to spell your name on the front side of the heart, and your Valentine's name on the other. Inside this unique Valentine craft write the message, "I only have half a heart without you".

#5. Romantic Poem-Scroll

This unique Valentine craft is perfect for lovers of poetry and romance. First choose a romantic love-poem (here's where you can find Valentine-poems). After you print the poem in beautiful lettering, crumple the paper, dip it in dark tea, then flatten it again and leave it to dry. Already your unique Valentine craft should look like an ancient scroll, but now you can put the finishing touches to it by burning the paper all around the edges. Here are the step-by-step instructions for making this unique Valentine craft.

#6. Most Romantic Candle in the World

This unique Valentine craft is similar to the first craft in this article. The beginning is the same-you start by cutting out the intertwined heads from M. C. Escher's drawing. But now you glue the heads over a clear glass vase and fill the vase with candles. The flickering flames will show through the heads of the lovers as a symbol of passion. It's a stunning Valentine centerpiece or romantic candle for your bedroom. See the pictures and instructions for making this unique Valentine craft.

#7. Kaleidoscope Hearts

This unique Valentine craft was inspired by Martha Stewart's Crayon Hearts. Use a pencil sharpener to shave off a thin layer of color crayons over waxed paper. Fold the paper in half, place a towel over it and iron on high until the crayons melt. This will create a see-through colored paper, which you can cut into the shape of hearts. String the hearts on ribbons and hang them in front of your window for the sun to shine through.

#8. Glass Bead Heart

This unique Valentine craft forms a perfect token of love. Shape strong craft wire into the shape of a heart, then string glass beads in every shade of pink. Where the heart connects at the top, wrap the wires together, then cover the knot with a pink ribbon with which this unique Valentine craft can be hung.

#9. Cascading Picture Frame

This unique Valentine craft is the easiest in this collection. By gluing three cheap craft store picture frames at a cascading angle, you can create a stunning display for photos. Just be sure that all three photos have similar color tones or themes, for example: print them all in black-and-white or sepia. See the pictures and instructions for making this unique Valentine craft.

#10. Heart-shaped Flowers

Last but not least, this unique Valentine craft creates a silk or live flower arrangement in the shape of a heart. Begin by buying a large floral sponge (an Oasis) at a craft store. Use a knife to pare down the edges of the oasis into the contours of a heart-shape. Cut flower heads away from their stems and stick them into the oasis until it disappears from sight. For real flowers, keep this Valentine craft well watered in a pink Valentine bowl.
