You don’t need to break the bank to show your love this Valentine’s Day. Aside from saving some money, DIY gifts also give a personal touch that is hard to get with a store-bought present. In that spirit, I’ve collected some cute and personable ideas for you. Plus, you know how I love a good crafting project.
Whether it’s for your significant other, friend, or family, they will love and appreciate the thought and time that went into these homemade presents. And as an added bonus, these are all fun to make!

Junk Journal
This gift takes a little bit more time to put together, but is so worth it. A junk journal is a personal gift to give to someone meaningful in your life and you can pick whatever theme best fits them- if they love music, art, cooking, or reading, you can find plenty of material to use. It’s been one of the most popular crafting posts on FierceBeyond50 and it’s not hard to see why.

You can pick whatever size jar you want and even make 2 or 3 of them to give as a set. If you’ve been around FierceBeyond50 any time at all, you know that yours truly has a THING for mason jars.

I can’t wait to see pictures of their little blond curls bouncing around these happy felt hearts! All I did was I purchased metal barrettes at Michaels along with a tiny pack of felt hearts, and I hot glued them together. Voila!
