No matter the love language you speak, a valentine straight from your heart and hands always seems to make the sweetest statement. So this year, give your one-and-only the gift of your time by making one of these 15 DIY valentines. Some are whimsical and some are cute, but whatever your style, they all scream “I love you.” Click through for our favorite simple crafts that are sure to get you and your special someone in the spirit!
