Are you a little strapped for cash? Are your loved ones expecting something nice for Valentines Day and you fear that isnt going to happen? Worry no more! With this long list of things you can make for Valentines Day youll find just the right cheap but fabulous gift for that special someone! Use flat, wooden shapes from a craft store and you can make lots of different things look like they were made especially for Valentines Day. The shapes are available in a number of different sizes and can be colored with paint or even a marker. Glue one or more to a picture frame, mirror, candle holder, or even a cheap photo album. Youll find many different frames and mirrors at most dollar-theme stores.
Instead of wooden shapes consider the heart sticker. These, too, are available at craft stores and can be used to give a Valentines Day theme to many cheap d?cor pieces. Other heart-shaped items you can use to embellish ordinary things include foam or felt hearts.
Use really tiny, wooden heart shapes to make earrings for the women in your life. Paint the hearts then glue them to earring hardware pieces. Choose the earring types which have a small metal disk on the front. Glue the hearts in place then embellish them with glitter, a single, fake jewel, or even sequin. Make stretchy bracelets and necklaces by gluing the hearts to stretch cord. Lay the cord across one heart then glue another on top of that one. Strap the cord between the two hearts. Do this again and again until youve added as many heart sets as you want. Leave small spaces between the sets of hearts so that the cord can stretch. Use a pack of foil or other paper hearts from a craft store to make a Valentines Day candle. Simply apply a little white glue to the hearts and stick them to the candle. Youll find a large assortment of candles at your local dollar store. Cut a heart or other picture and glue it to a bar of soap to make yet another Valentines Day gift. The soap can be any color and most any shape. Cut a picture to fit and use white glue to attach it. Water the glue down a little and paint over the image. Let it dry and paint it once again. The glue layers over the image will preserve it longer as the soap is used. Make any number of edible bouquets when you use wooden skewers. Slide on donut holes,mini muffins, pieces of brownies, fruit or other foods to make the bouquet. Stand them up in a vase or even a tall tea glass. Slide in some fresh mint as the greenery or just use a few sprigs of artificial leaves and stems. These bouquets are delicious, thoughtful and cheap. Make candy magnets for a woman by using the wrappers from miniature candy bars. Stuff the wrappers with foam, paper towels or even cotton balls. Glue the end shut then place a piece of magnetic sheeting on the back. The refrigerator magnets are adorable! Purchase a piece of red or white fleece and make a comfy throw for the one you love. Simply sew around all four sides to give the fleece a finished edge. The throw is simply wrapped around the body to get snuggly warm. You dont need a whole lot of money to give a nice gift to the one you love on Valentines Day. All of these gifts can be made for under five bucks and the recipient will absolutely love any one of these!
