1. M&Ms Topiary
Those pink, red, and white circles are M&Ms! Very cool, yes? If you want to make your own, you will need a flower pot, a round Styrofoam ball, a wooden post or dowel, paint, Valentine's Day M&Ms, ribbon, moss, and hot glue.
2. Tissue Paper Fringe
Tissue paper is always a handy craft material to have. If you happen to have some in pink and red, you can use them to make this lovely fringe Valentine's Day decor. This is a simple cutting and gluing project that your kids can help you with.

3. Mailboxes
These are all sorts of adorable! These would be great for writing notes to members of your family. Perhaps you can write a note a day until the 14th? The mailboxes used here were bought in Target. They were then glued to spray painted candlestick holders and embellished with scrapbook paper letters.

4. Paper Rosettes
These are absolutely darling as well. And so easy to do! If you can't find wooden hearts, you can always use cardboard or card stock. I think foam sheet will work, too.
5. Bouquet Ball
How cute is this Valentine's Day decor? Much like the first tutorial, you will need a Styrofoam ball to make this lovely project. You will hot glue silk flowers to it and then hang using pretty ribbon. Easy-peasy!
6. Heart Trees
Yep, you can create tree decor not only in December but also for other months of the year. For February, Christina shows us how to make these delightful heart trees. I love the skeleton key charms she added.
7. Confetti Bottles
This is probably the easiest project among these DIY Valentine's Day decor ideas. To make your lovely bottle beauties, you spray paint them white, wrap double sided tape around the middle section, and roll them around hole punches. Fun!
8. Crayon Suncatcher
This is an easy craft project that you can do on a sunny day. The materials that you will need are wax paper, crayons, kraft paper, and iron. Check out Martha for the instructions.
9. Pom Poms
Here is another easy DIY Valentine's Day decor. To make this, you thread pom poms and hang like a curtain. I'd do this but I have cats.

10. Book Page Heart Mobile
This mobile may have a heart motif but I think you can keep this decor all year. It's too pretty to take down after Feb. 14. If you want to make your own, head on over to Being Brook for the how-to.
11. Valentine's Arrows
Have you been struck by Cupid's arrows? These are so sweet! It's fun and easy to recreate - you can even swap the triangular tips for heart-shaped ones. Leave them laying around the house!
12. Table Runner
Having a romantic dinner? Personalize it with this cute DIY table runner! Using chalkboard scrapbook paper, show off sweet messages to your loved ones! You can then decorate it with candles and rose petals.
13. Love String Art
String art is having a moment and, not only does it look great when it's finished, but it's really fun to put together too. The variations in string color make it really interesting and you can hang this just about anywhere in your house to get into the Valentine's Day mood.
14. Photo Cubes
This DIY is a fun way to showcase all the couples in your life as you celebrate the day of love. The blocks spell out "love" but also give you a great way to display photos that you don't always keep out. You'll smile every time you look at these adorable blocks.

You've probably seen these for Christmas, but change up the color scheme and they're perfect for Valentine's Day too. Simply wrap a cardboard cone in pink or red yarn, then embellish with tiny hearts on a string. Easy, right?
