Link Love: Valentine’s Day Craft Ideas

January 30, 2014 by FaveCrafts

Valentine’s Day is two weeks away – are you feeling the love? Even though I don’t have a valentine this year (does Ryan Gosling count?), I plan to make the most of this holiday. Growing up, my mom made Valentine’s Day fun and memorable. In the morning, we’d find a small gift next to our breakfast and receive candy to eat after our family dinner. She also made it a point to decorate our house with cute little heart-shaped accents and use pink and red paper plates, napkins and tablecloths for meals.

Sure, grand gestures are a fun aspect of Valentine’s Day (if anyone wants to get me a diamond, please feel free), but it’s the small, handmade touches that you’re sure to remember. In the days leading up to Valentine’s Day, start decorating your space and wearing heart-shaped accessories. A Crocheted Heart Headband is perfect for little girls but moms can make one for themselves as well. This pattern for this adorable headband is extremely simple, making it ideal for beginners. You can also add a pretty handmade wreath to your door. Go green and make a Valentine’s Coffee Filter Wreath or show off your rustic side with a Charming Valentine’s Day Wreath. You might think these projects are complicated but they’re actually so easy to make!

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about romance. Embrace the best aspects of the day and create adorable DIY designs that you can show off all year long. Even the smallest handmade item can brighten your day or make someone smile.

  1. Magnetic Valentine’s Card from Muslin and Merlot
  2. Anthro-Inspired Heart Pillow from Hearts and Sharts
  3. DIY Love Heart Crayons from Captured By Lucy

Craft Your Support for American Heart Month

February 4, 2013 by AllFreeHolidayCrafts

Last Friday, February 1, 2013, was the tenth annual Wear Red Day, which kicked off American Heart Month. American Heart Month was created in an effort to educate women of the dangers of heart disease. It is estimated that around 43 million women in the U.S are affected by heart disease. Having heard a number like that, I would imagine that you’re wondering what you can do to help. To show your support for American Heart Month, go red for heart disease this February! In honor of American Heart Month, AllFreeHolidayCrafts.com has selected a few of our favorite heart-shaped crafts that will help you go red this month. Show your support and craft your own heart projects for American Heart Month.  These heart-shaped crafts will help you show-off your devotion to this great cause, and you’ll have fun while you do it!

Go Red: Heart Crafts to Wear

Shimmer Heart HeadbandA quick project like our Shimmer Heart Headband is a great way to whip up an accessory in no time that will show your support. You can wear this headband with any outfit, so go red on a daily basis! Another quick way to accessorize for American Heart Month would be with a pair of Hanging Heart Earrings, simply pop these easy-to-make earrings in and you’re instantly representing American Heart Month. These Valentine’s Day crafts are also a great way to make yourself a little extra something to wear on the 14th, and who doesn’t love multipurpose projects?

Heart Wreaths for the Cause

If you want to step it up a notch, add some flair to your front door with one of our red wreaths. Hanging one of these wreaths during February will help spread awareness of American Heart Month, to your neighbors, friends, and each passerby. Take our Upcycled Dollar Store Wreath for instance; this heart-shaped wreath is one big red statement! The Upcycled T-shirt Heart Wreath is another great option for women looking for way to spread awareness. Plus, both of these heart-shaped wreaths are made from inexpensive materials.

If you’re a female crafter, what better way to use your talents this February than by creating a few crafts to demonstrate your support for American Heart Month? Help spread awareness and influence your family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to share their support as well. Don’t hesitate to spread the word, and find out more information from the American Heart Association!

Link Love: Heart Crafts for Valentine’s Day

January 24, 2013 by FaveCrafts

Love it or hate it, there’s no denying that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. While I don’t have a special someone, I still love Valentine’s Day. In fact, every year I draw a heart around the date on my calendar. To me, Valentine’s Day is a time to show you care. It’s also a chance to decorate and eat a ton of delicious candy. What could be better?

There are plenty of projects that can satisfy your creativity before and after Valentine’s Day. A Wired Heart is a fun, unexpected project that can be displayed all year. Since Valentine’s Day occurs during a chilly season, you might want a taste of the outdoors. A Valentine’s Day Topiary allows you to celebrate without heading into the cold. Hearts are the true symbol of Valentine’s Day, but they can used in art projects all year long. A Chic Decorative Heart looks great in any room of the house.

You don’t have to go crazy with red and pink supplies to celebrate Valentine’s Day. In fact, simply making crafts in the shape of hearts can be a fun and easy way to decorate. Best of all, when you think outside the box and use unexpected materials and colors, your crafts become much more practical. You can wear sparkly heart-shaped shoe clips or use a heart-shaped coin wallet all year long.
