Homework break! Make kick-butt valentines for everyone you adore

Schedule a 30-minute break (or an afternoon crafting palooza), cutie, ‘cause it’s time to make a pile of cards your nearest and dearest will go crazy for. Read on for our cutest ideas yet!

 

Cootie shot!

Make a cootie catcher for each of your buds and include different things about them—favorite colors, numbers and crushes. When they pick the right combo, they pop up your V-Day message.

 

Rock out

Make a mix tape for all your besties. Include songs that belong on the soundtrack of your lives together—like the jam you all boogied to at the Sadie Hawkins dance, and that tune that’s become a huge inside joke.

 

Just playin’

Hit up the dollar store and snag some plastic toys on the cheap—think animals and ridiculous action figures. Make little signs to hang around their necks that say corny things like “You’re a super friend!” (for a super hero) or “Being your bestie is a blast!” (for a rocket) or “You rock!” (for a toy guitar) or even “You rule!” (on little rulers).

 

Go ahead, burst my bubble

Pick up a pack of balloons at a party store along with each of your buds’ favorite candies. Fill each balloon with one bud’s pick, then blow it up, tie it off and decorate the exterior with magic markers. Just make sure to write down which is which! Your girls can pop ‘em before homeroom and munch all day.

 

Insta-awesome

Snap a picture of you holding a sweet message, making a heart shape with your hands or blowing a kiss. Post in Instagram, share on Twitter or your buds Facebook walls or simply email to everyone you love.

    Wear your heart on your…tree?

    OK, not a card, but we love the idea of surprising Mom and Dad with a heart tree in the a.m. or when they come home from work. So cute!

Where did the heart get its shape? 

Hey girlie, I'm not sure if anyone knows for sure since it was at least a hundred years ago. I think some people think it was the reason you listed, or it may have been from a plant. Either way, it represents love now! Smile

All of these ideas are great, but I really want to try to make one of those heart trees! My parents' anniversary is on Valentine's Day, so I would love to surprise them with one of them from me and my little brother!

So tomorrow is my crush's birthday. I was thinking of saying "happy birthday!" to him, but can I do anything more? I think a hug would be a little too much, considering we're not like best friends. Would he think I'm taking it too far by giving him a hug? He likes to joke around with me by tickling my chin and playing with my hair and joking around with me, and I was hoping of making him my bf by V-day! So, is the hug too much? Thanks(:




I think it depends what the mood ends up to be. If he is excited, go for the hug! If he's not, maybe you should just keep it to just "happy birthday!" Good luck girl!
