Valentine’s Day never fails to make me think of my Uncle Tommy. As an always smiling fourth grader, he marched in to his classroom on February 14 and boldly handed my now Aunt Rose his entire box of cards…the ones that were meant for the whole class. Theirs is a story with a sweet beginning and an even better middle, as they have been married 35 years and still have that special spark between them. Young Tommy’s gesture, though small, said everything about how he was feeling, and we think this 10 Best round up of DIY Valentines can do the same for you with your special someone. Click through for lots of handmade inspiration in honor of V-Day—one of our favorite occasions!

Love this Uncle Tommy story… such a sweet reminder that Valentine’s should be all about those little gestures that equal true romance!
This makes me nostalgic for the school days when I’d sort through my box of pre-printed Valentines and try to pair the perfect one with the right classmate. Thanks for sharing so many lovely cards for this year’s V-Day!
absolutely love the carved candle and the concrete heart.
may have to try to make one of these for a vday gift for my boyfriend!
