DIY Valentine's Day Ideas



No matter if you're in a relationship or single, Valentine's Day should be a day to tell your friends how much you love them! My friends and I had a fun night together! Here's a few things we did. Take a look! Who knows maybe next time you're with friends, you might want to try these out.

Raspberry Floats
You will need: 1) Paper Straws 2) Glass Jars 3) Raspberry Sherbet and 4) Sprite! It's pretty self-explanatory, just put the sherbet and sprite into the glass jars and enjoy! They are delicious! They are super cute for Valentine's Day since they are pink!


Craft Time!
You will need: 1) Mason Jars, 2) Paint, 3) Sticky Stencils, and 4) Something to paint with. I  bought some adhesive stencils at Micheal's and they worked well. Just stick them on the jar, and let your creative juices flow! We were able to wipe the stencils off with Wet Ones and reuse them. 


Food!
For the food we had fondue with pretzels, marshmallow, strawberries and heart cut brownies (shown in picture at right). We also had some delicious cucumber and dill finger sandwiches, as well as cream cheese cranberry sandwiches on pumpernickel bread. Oh, and of course we had pizza, too!

Easy Decorations 
These Valentines decorations were so easy. For the heart chain on the left all you will need is construction paper, a stapler, and scissors. Cut the paper into long strips, form into a heart, and start stapling the chain together. For the banner on the right, all you need is construction paper, string, tape, letters, and scissors. Fold the construction paper into eights to cut out the triangles, tape the triangles to the string, put the letters on the triangles, and you have made a banner!











Many of these ideas came from pinterest and Bethany Mota's YouTube channel. I hope you enjoyed reading this, and I hope you give a few of these a try!
