Handmade Valentine's Day Gifts

Handmade Valentine’s Day Gifts are a fun way to let friends know you care about them for Valentine’s Day. I love making crocheted garlands and the Mini Heart Garland is the perfect way to send your love to your friends and family. Use these garlands to add a little love to your gift wrapping, decorate a cake or a party platter or just drop one in an envelope and pop it in the mail to let someone know you’re thinking about them.

You know that I love to keep coming up with new versions of my patterns and kits. I absolutely love this Ombre version of my Mini Hearts Garland Kit. Now I have three different Heart Garland kits to choose from! The Ombre Mini-Heart Garland Kit comes with five different colors of Eco-Butterfly Linen – Snow Owl, Adobe Rose, Sedona, Poppy and Aubergine. You can make each strand separately to gift them to your favorite people or or string them together to make a beautiful ombre decoration.

If Ombre isn’t your thing, you can also choose the original Crochet Mini Hearts Garland Kit. It includes a full skein of your favorite color of Eco-Butterfly Linen. Use it to make a large garland with 50 hearts or five smaller 10-heart strands. If you love tiny things, then the Teeny Heart Garland Kit is made just for you! This kit includes your choice of Valdani Thread colors.
