Yesterday, I shared ideas for food gifts you could make and give for Valentine’s Day.

Continuing with my theme of homemade gifts, I want to share valentine items you can make to decorate your own home or give as a gift to decorate someone else’s home.

Gifts for the Home

*The name of each project is linked to the tutorial.

Heart garland - This is really simple to make (Have a heart-shaped paper punch and a spool of thread? You’ve got all the materials!) and allows you to recycle an old magazine. I think these would be nice strung across mirrors, fish tanks, windows, fire places, and a plethora of other spots in many houses.
Glass pebble heart wreath - At first glance, this looks like it’s made of those little plastic tri-beads, doesn’t it? It’s actually much bigger than those tri-beads. It’s a full-sized wreath covered with cellophane and glass circles. The result is beautiful, don’t you think?
Ornament heart wreath – Isn’t this gorgeous? I love wreaths made out of ornaments. One of these days, I’m going to make one.
Probably when my kids are older.
Like in college.
Fabric heart wreath – Making this wreath involves cutting and tying strips of fabric. I think I made a wreath like that in the Brownie Girl Scouts when I was in the first grade. It didn’t look nearly this nice.
I’d be proud to put this one on my front door, wouldn’t you?
Pom pom wreath – Since Christmastime, I have had an unnatural obsession with pom poms. I can’t explain it, but pom pom projects are on my radar, and I find them irresistible. This project could get expensive if you didn’t find a source of cheap pom poms, but it looks really easy. You just glue the pom poms onto a wreath form.
Smothered in Kisses Pillow – I think this is the cutest pillow ever! The crafter used a die-cut machine to make all those itty bitty hearts. I think it would be a pain in the butt to cut them by hand, but that results are worth it.
