DIY Valentine's Day ideas

My husband doesn't believe in Valentine's Day, and I actually agree with his reasons-- the main reason being that it's just another holiday for people to consume more. So we've never done anything special on Valentine's day. (I'm not looking for pity, I'm just stating facts, because I'm ok with it). And Valentine's day is my father's birthday, so we're usually out celebrating his birthday anyways.

Even though we don't get each other things for Valentine's day, we usually like to make a little something. Buying and getting something for someone is different than making something for someone. There's no consuming involved- we use things we already have. One year my husband did make me a card (which stated all the facts about Valentine's day- the consumer facts- lol), and another year he made me a heart-shaped brownie. And I usually make something as well. And some years we don't make each other anything at all- which is fine.

But this year I'm feeling a little creative and want to make something. So I was on the internet hunt for cute, but simple and easy, DIY Valentine's stuff and found some cute ideas (click on each of the pictures to go to the website to learn how to make them):









I don't know which one I'm going to choose yet. I have a few days to decide. =)
