Roundup: 10 Handmade Valentine’s Day Gifts for Her

by on Feb 8, 2016

We covered the guys last week. Today we’re turning our attention to the ladies. Although, I’m guessing there are a lot of guys out there that would love some of the things on this list as much as some of the ladies out there would love some of the things on the guys’ list–okay, maybe not the beard oil, but I digress. So, read on and make your must-make list, because Valentine’s Day is going to be here before you know it.

4. This project has been around for quite awhile, but it’s so clever, it needed to be on our roundup. It’s about the sweetest use of an old incandescent lightbulb ever. Design Sponge takes us through the process.

8. In this case, “L” is for “we LOVE this yarn-wrapped ombre monogramed letter.” Can we all agree that the fabric hearts are NOT an option? Jillian tells us how to replicate it over on Catch My Party.   

Lovely Heart Potholder

9. Okay, maybe not all women would appreciate a potholder as a Valentine’s day gift, but come on, this heart potholder is positively squeal-worthy. (I think I’ll make one for myself, as a matter of fact.) Lisa and Sarah over at A Spoonful of Sugar Designs provide the pattern and tutorial.

10. Personally, I’ve never met a woman who didn’t love fuzzy socks. (Have you?) Which is why this fuzzy sock cupcake makes me very, very happy. Think about it…all the sweetness of a cupcake without the calories. LOVE. Kim at 733 Blog tells us how to make them.
