If you're wanting to spread the love this romantic season, there's no better way to get in the mood than making some Valentine's themed crafts and cards.

And while a lovely bunch of roses and a tasty box of chocolates is lovely, something a little more thoughtful like a handmade card or a DIY gift will mean a lot more to your special someone.

Although we often think of Valentine's Day as a time to celebrate our romantic partners, there's no reason why you can't get your close friends and family something for the occasion too, or you might just want to decorate your home for the season.
