Valentine's Day Trees Are a Thing and Amazon Has One for Less Than $20
There is arguably no craftier holiday than Valentine’s Day. Whether you’re in pre-school or a grown adult, Valentine's Day crafts are a huge part of the love-themed day. The Valentine's Day desserts are pretty good too, of course, but there’s nothing quite as satisfying as sitting down to create something out of just a few supplies — many of which you may already have at your home right now. Plus, this is a great excuse to get your family to participate in an activity that doesn’t require cell phones, televisions, or video games (if they're getting a little bored, you can add in some Valentine's Day trivia). And once you see our list of the best Valentine's Day decorations, you'll easily find the perfect idea for your home or V-Day party.
No time to DIY? Don't fret. We also included some top-selling decor items you can buy online with a click of a button. After all, table decorations and outdoor designs are a bit harder to make on your own (except Valentine's Day wreaths, of course. We have a ton of adorable homemade options!).
So get ready to make Valentine's Day 2023 your cutest one yet with these Valentine's Day decoration ideas.

Puzzle Heart Wreath
You can either paint the puzzle pieces pink (or red!) or order a pre-made ombre set. Once you have them, cut a 16"-inch wide heart out of cardboard, then cut a smaller heart inside. Hot glue puzzle pieces, starting at the top and overlapping pieces as you go. Attach ribbon to back.

Cookie Cutter Wind Chime
Hit up your local dollar store for some heart-shaped cookie cutters, and transform them into this sweet wind chime.
To make: Transform a 10- to 12-inch length of wire into a heart shape; and wrap it with red twine. Then, make a clay heart with oven-baked modeling clay; punch a hole in the top for hanging and write a phrase (if desired) before baking, and set aside. Punch holes in the crook and point of 3 large, 3 medium, and 3 small heart-shaped cookie cutters. Cut three lengths of twine. Working with one length at a time, thread a large, medium, and small cookie cutter onto twine, knotting above and below each cutter so that it stays in place. Repeat with remaining twine and cookie cutters. Wrap twine lengths (making sure the hearts are facing the correct direction) around wire heart; gather twine lengths at the top and tie in a knot for hanging. Knot twine lengths at the bottom and trim. Thread a short length of twine through the ceramic heart and tie to knot at the bottom of the wine chime, and hang.

Use a pom-pom maker and choose yarn in shades of pink, red, and white. Wrap the yarn around the tool's arms and follow instructions to create the "buds." Place a dot of hot glue on the end of a thin twig and insert into the pom-pom's center. Hold for about 10 seconds or until the glue dries. Repeat as many times as you'd like, then arrange your flowers in vases on your mantel or windowsill.
