We hope you like this free printable and that it makes you and/or your loved one very happy!
So, suggestions for little lovely things you can handmake in a jiffy?
1 - A little origami box
Get some pretty paper and fold yourself up a little box which you can use to deliver little love notes or perhaps your partner's favourite sweets.
Tutorial is via Smakompisar blog
2 - A potato stamp card
Making potato stamps is pretty easy and fun, even if you're not usually much of a crafter. You just need to cut your potato in half and then carve away the bits you don't need to make the shape you want. You could do a heart, a star, a letter or just a simple line which you could use to print a design. You can then use ink or paint to print out your design and voila! a handmade card with your very own creative artwork.
3 - A tin can or teacup garden
If you've got a pretty old tin can or a nice teacup then why not buy a small plant - a fern or a succulent - and plant it in this special holder? It's a great way to make a small item feel more special and personal.

4 - A washi tape frame
Take a favourite picture of the two of you together and give it a cool contemporary twist. Put it up in a pretty corner of your home and create a frame out of washi tape. This will take minutes to do, but is really thoughtful and can look super cool. You could either put it up by itself or add in some other bits of treasured memorabilia, like a ticket stub from your favourite film, an old love note, a postcard from a favourite holiday or a beloved art print, and make a mini "you & me" gallery.
Great tutorial on Design Sponge
5 - Heart-shaped biscuits
These ones we found on pinterest from The Pretty Blog look kind of great. I'd be very happy to get a jar of these for Valentine's Day!
Hope you like our post, whether you're making something for someone special or not, and have a Happy Valentine's Day.
