Budget Valentine's Day Decoration Ideas

Do-It-Yourself

Mr. New Material
Are you interested in creating your own decorations for Valentines Day? If you wish to make your own crafts this Valentines Day, simply follow these easy instructions for making your own. All of these budget Valentines Day decorations can be made for little or less than no money!

Sparkles of Love Materials: Red Constructions Paper

Glue and Glitter

Scissors

String (for hanging)

Step 1: The first step you will have to do is make sure you have red construction paper. Once you have your paper, either trace a heart on the paper or draw one freehand. You may want to trace with a black permeate marker so you can see the heart shape.

Step 2: Once you've drawn your heart, proceed to cut it out with the scissors and set it to the side. Take the glue and draw all of the words and symbols you wish to draw on the heart before adding your glitter to it.

Step 3: Set the heart to the side while the glitter dries. After the glitter has dried on the hearts, punch a hole in the middle of the heart at the top and tie your piece of string. Hang from wherever you like.

Lovely Wreaths of Love Materials: 1-5 Styrofoam hearts

2-3 Dozen Red Roses

Crazy Glue

Red Spray Paint

Step 1: The first thing you're going to have to do is take you Styrofoam hearts and spray paint them red. You don't have to do both sides, only the side you're going to glue your roses to.

Step 2: Once you've painted the heart, allow time for it to dry. Once the heart is dry you can begin adding your roses. Make sure to cut most of the stem off the roses so you can glue them all down evenly.

Step 3: Once you've trimmed all of the roses, place the crazy glue down on the heart and start adding the roses. You can choose to layer the roses on top of each other, or do a smooth layer with single roses.

Step 4: Layer the heart until you've ran out of roses!

The Love Mailbox Materials: Tissue Box

Valentines Day Wrapping Paper and Stickers

Clear Scotch Tape

Scissors

Step 1: Take the tissue box and make sure it's empty before creating this project. Once the box is empty, take your Valentines Day wrapping paper and cut a piece big enough to submerge the entire box.

Step 2: Once you have your wrapping paper set, tape one side to the bottom of the box before overlapping the other paper on top of it. Make sure to tape down both ends at the bottom of the box.

Step 3: The object of this is to wrap the tissue box like a present. Once you get everything wrapped, you're going to need to cut a slit at the top of the box so you'll have a drop space.

Step 4: Continue to decorate the box by adding more wrapping paper, glitter or Valentines Day related stickers.
