Let’s be honest. It’s kind of a predictable holiday. Choose from roses, candy, or a teddy bear. Sign lovey-dovey card. Live happily ever after until next Valentine’s Day.
But this Maker wants to change that. With the countdown now at two days, these simple projects require only a few supplies, only a little money, and can easily be completed by Tuesday night. Ready, set, MAKE!
A Better Bouquet
Do not spend cash on a cliché bouquet. Instead make your own with red duct tape. It’s cheaper, and it will last forever. Just like your love.
A More Creative Card
Who knew that acrylic paint mixed with a little dish soap would make such a great scratch-off surface? Just like a “scratch and win” ticket, turn a secret message or a Polaroid photo into a cute card with ease.
A Moving Movie
Make a Valentine short that your loved one will love. Here’s a roundup of free stop-motion iPhone apps that will do the trick.
