How to Make our Simple Valentine Gifts

Supplies for Love Sign Valentine Home Decor

• Embroidered letters (white 3″ size, varsity-style)
• 4 wooden houses
• white acrylic craft paint
• black acrylic craft paint
• HVAC duct sealing tape (silver)
• Ribbon of your choice (we used red gingham)
• Glue gun and glue sticks
• Paintbrush
• Cardboard or chipboard (can be recycled or from scrap)
• Craft knife
• Scissors
• Pencil
• Ruler

Instructions for Love Blocks Valentine Home Decor

• Gather your supplies.
• Use the white acrylic paint to basecoat each wooden house. Let dry.
• If necessary, coat a second time.

• While the houses are drying, use the black acrylic paint to coat each embroidered letter. Let dry.
• Apply a second coat if necessary, and let dry.

• Once the letters and houses are dry, peel the paper liner from each embroidered letter.
• Apply one letter to each house to spell out L-O-V-E.

• To make the roof, measure the width and also the pitch of the roof of the wooden house.
• Cut 4 chipboard/cardboard rectangles to go slightly over the size of the entire length of the roof (about 1/4″ so that the roof hangs over 1/8″ on each side).
• Cover each piece with the HVAC tape, and fold the tape around to cover the edges. Duct tape would work well if you don’t have the tape.

• Bend each full roof section carefully so that the covered chipboard covers the entire roof evenly.
• Attach the roofs with hot glue.

• Tie a section of ribbon to create a box in the size you’d like.
• Use hot glue to adhere the bow to the “O” in love.
• Let dry and display as Valentine home decor or give them as DIY gifts.

The Final Result of Our DIY Valentine’s Crafts

These are such cute Valentine centerpieces to make! Homemade Valentine crafts can be so meaningful to display and give to those you love.

Quick Tip: 

If you truly love our Valentine’s Day gift making ideas, we have a quick tip! The word “love” has the letters O, E, and L. When purchasing your supplies, buy an N. That way you can affix the N to the back side of of the V house to spell “noel” at Christmas time.

Both the color scheme and style of these would fit in well during the holiday season. We love it when Valentine’s Day ideas can do double duty!
