25+ DIY Valentine’s Day Decorations — How to Decorate for Valentine’s Day

When it comes to pulling out the Valentine’s Day crafts and decorations, it can often feel like a more overwhelming task than decorating for, say, Christmas or Halloween. If you celebrate those holidays, you likely have a box full of decor and supplies in the basement, ready to go for each new season. But Valentine’s Day? Maybe not. That means that each and every year, you have to get creative when it comes to Valentine’s Day decor. It might go without saying that Valentine’s Day desserts are a much more exciting part of the February holiday than, say, paper streamers and giant cut-out hearts. But Valentine’s Day is the only major holiday between New Year’s and Easter, so it’s worth getting a little festive.

Plus, there are so many Valentine’s Day decoration ideas that you don’t have to purchase from a store. From front porch decorations to indoor displays, there are dozens of DIY tutorials and crafts that will make a festive Valentine’s Day way easier (and more affordable) than you think. People like to say that Feb. 14 is just another way to spend money on chocolate, gifts, or decorations, but at its core, the day is about love, and what’s not to celebrate about that? Here are 26 DIY Valentine’s Day decoration ideas to get you started.

1

Lace Votives

Woman’s Day

An incredibly easy craft with a super romantic effect, this project is as easy as glueing some lace to votive candles.

Get the tutorial at Galaxy Dreaming.

2

Yarn Hearts

Country Living

This adorable (and really doable) craft is a great example of an easy, DIY decoration. Simply cut out a heart shape from a piece of cardboard (go bigger for more of a statement piece) and tape a yarn spool on the back of the heart. Wrap the yarn around the heart until the cardboard is covered. Then, cut off the yarn, loop the loose end through another piece of yarn, and tie it. Simple as that.

Get the tutorial at Ventuno Art.

Cut-Paper Cards

Pom-Pom Flowers

Country Living

This absurdly simple DIY project from our friends at Country Living results in an adorable final product that’s a super subtle (but sweet) piece of Valentine’s Day decor.

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.

10

Valentine’s Day Candle Holder

If you’re ready to take your DIY skills to the next level, this Valentine’s Day tutorial for heart-shaped candle holders is for you. Plus, these are sturdy enough that you can reuse them year after year, unlike some more fragile DIY decorations made of tissue paper and craft paper.

19

Mesh Wreath

20

Valentine’s Day Jenga

how to decorate a house for Valentine’s Day

How to decorate a house for Valentine’s Day.

Time is running fast, we will not have time to blink an eye, as one holiday will replace another, and so on knurled. It would seem that they just celebrated the New Year, and Valentine’s Day has already come. Well, in order to fully feel the taste of the upcoming holiday, you just need to start preparing for it in advance, then throughout the entire preparatory period you will feel a unique, and most importantly, positive pre-holiday atmosphere. Today we want to show you how to decorate an apartment by February 14, a house or just a separate room, it all depends on where the romantic evening will take place, and how much your soul requires the scope of the festival.

Contents of the page

1. Paper balls.

Very simple in terms of material used and decoration. What can not be said from the finished appearance of fluffy balls, they look really festive. You can literally decorate the whole house with them, the main thing is to have the opportunity to hang them somewhere, a chandelier, wall sconces, window cornice will do. You can also drive carnations into two opposite walls closer to the ceiling, stretch the fishing line and hang such balls along its entire length.

► How to make napkin balls.

Lay five or six napkins one on top of the other, fold them into an accordion, tie them in the center with a thread. We begin to lift each layer of napkins to the top on each side, as a result we get a fluffy napkin flower-ball.

2. How to decorate an apartment for St. Valentine’s Day with balloons.

Well, how can such a romantic holiday be possible without balloons. Ideally, it is better to fill the balloons with helium, then they will soar effectively near the ceiling surface. You can tie a Valentine card with an exclusive declaration of love to the ropes of each of their balloons. In addition, a large heart can be formed from the balls.

► How to make a balloon heart.

Cut out a heart from thick cardboard, cut out the core with a utility knife. Inflate balloons, you need them to be of different sizes. Tie the balls tightly to each other to the cardboard blank, and so on until the result begins to satisfy you. You can see the process of creating such a heart in the photo below.

3. Decoration with garlands.

Garlands will help you beat the idea, and it does not have to be electric garlands, they can be made of paper, wire or fabric. A lot of different examples of such garlands are presented in this article. If you still want to use electric garlands, you can stick them on the window with tape, forming a heart along the way.

► How to decorate an electric garland with hearts.

Cut out hearts identical to each other from printer paper or ordinary newspaper, in the center of each heart create a slot the size of a garland light bulb, thread a heart on each light bulb, turn on the garland and admire the result.

4. How to decorate a room for Valentine’s Day – wall decor.

Walls can be decorated with various themed panels, garlands or flowers. Flowers can be cut out of a tube from paper towels, for this you bend the tube a little in the center, cut it with scissors into rings 8 mm wide, you get petals, lay flowers from these petals on the table and glue them into a composition.

How to decorate an apartment on February 14 (70 photos)

At the same time, there is no need to go shopping for expensive jewelry – with some effort and a bit of imagination, you can create spectacular decorations that will leave an unforgettable impression in your partner’s memory. Let’s take a look at some of the most interesting ideas!

What to consider?

Starting decorating an apartment on February 14, the first thing to take care of is high-quality cleaning, because even the most beautiful decorations will look ridiculous against the background of scattered things, dusty shelves and dirty floors. It is necessary to clean the entire living area, and to celebrate the celebration, you can decorate one or two rooms, for example, the living room and bedroom.

An excellent option would be to arrange a party for two by the fireplace, if there is one. You can lay a soft rug or blanket on the floor, where lovers can relax after a meal in a romantic setting. If you want to start surprising your soulmate on Valentine’s Day right from the door, take care of decorating the hallway – this will help create the necessary festive mood for the whole coming evening. Also, decorating the bathroom will be a good solution if the relationship is already quite serious.

Take care of the presence of calm, quiet music, and avoid watching television programs so that the evening does not turn into a discussion of pressing problems. Also remember to turn off your cell phone or leave it on silent.

Lighting plays an important role in creating an intimate atmosphere, so it is better to abandon bright ceiling lighting in favor of local sources in the form of sconces, floor lamps.

Valentine Garlands

The option of decorating an apartment by February 14 with garlands of hearts made by hand is universal, as it allows you to start arranging the festive atmosphere from the hallway itself. Hearts can be cut out of colored paper or cardboard, old postcards and colorful magazine covers.

The easiest option is to string them with a needle on a long thread and hang the garlands along the walls. You can hang each heart separately, and replace the thread with a luminous garland, which in the evening will emit pleasant reflections, creating a cozy intimate atmosphere. A garland of hearts can be made according to the principle of the well-known “New Year’s chain”. To do this, you first need to cut thin paper strips, from the first we form a heart shape and fasten the edges with a stapler, thread each subsequent strip into the previous one, bend and fix.

It will not be difficult for the representatives of the weaker sex to sew small cute hearts, to make them flat or voluminous. Such work can be done manually, for example, using felt and synthetic winterizer. Each of the hearts can be hung with a ribbon from one garland, decorated with beads or sequins.

Romantic panel for February 14

Using colored paper, scissors and glue, you can create an amazing foam on the wall, which will tell about your reverent feelings and create a romantic mood. Of course, it will take a lot of time and patience to prepare the fine details, but the end result will be stunning. It all depends on your imagination. From red or pink paper, you can cut out a lot of moths under the template and, slightly spreading the wings, stick them on the wall in the shape of a heart, as shown in the photo. Another option is to make voluminous hearts and also create a decoration from them on the wall.

Candles

What kind of romantic setting for Valentine’s Day can do without candles? It can be decorative wax products, tablet candles or the most common ones. The main thing is to decorate the scenery beautifully. You can use existing candlesticks or make them yourself, for example, from glasses, decorating them with paper hearts.

Create an original designer candle holder with cinnamon sticks, a glass and a satin ribbon. To place candles, you can use beautiful dishes, for example, glasses and glasses, filling them with pebbles or beads for stability. Candle-tablets floating in water look beautiful. You can put a few candles in a spacious container, supplement them with rose petals and add a few drops of aromatic oils.

Candles of different sizes can be installed in any order or where additional lighting is simply needed (on the table, bedside table). With enough, try laying out a path on the floor leading to, for example, a bedroom, living room or bathroom. Looks great floor compositions in the form of hearts. Make sure that twilight reigns in the room: it is advisable to close the curtains, leave a dim light source on, and, of course, do not forget about safety precautions.

Balloons

To date, balloons are sold in a variety of interpretations. Their presence always creates an atmosphere of solemn, enchanting atmosphere. On Valentine’s Day, you can buy ordinary round balloons or in the form of hearts, fill them with helium, tie ribbons with fixed bundles to them, where declarations of love will be placed.

Large foil products are now very popular, as well as luminous balls with LEDs inside, creating a breathtaking romantic atmosphere. From balloons, you can create a composition in the form of a heart and place it in the bedroom at the head of the bed. In any case, it is necessary to try to distribute the balloons in such a way that they do not interfere with the free movement in the room.

Flowers

Decorating a room for a romantic evening with flowers is a task for the strong sex. In addition to a beautiful bouquet for your soulmate on February 14, you can use more original solutions, which, although they require considerable financial investments, will be fully compensated by the warm feeling of enthusiasm of your beloved.

You may have already guessed that we are talking about rose petals, which can be randomly scattered around the room, forming a composition or a path from them, complemented by floor candles. In the bedroom, the petals can be laid out on snow-white pastel linen, filled with small vases and placed on bedside tables. Also a pleasant surprise for a loved one will be a warm bath filled with foam with rose petals.

Before embarking on this kind of decoration, make sure that your significant other is not allergic so that the next holiday does not turn into a lengthy cleaning.

Photos taken together

Decorating the room with joint photos will make it clear to the partner (partner) about your sincere feelings, the desire to maintain a warm relationship for as long as possible. You can place several framed pictures on the festive table, shelves, complement them with garlands of hearts, or make a photo collage on the wall with your own hands. Looking at the photos will bring back many fond memories.

Serve the table

A table for two should look elegant and sophisticated, so you shouldn’t force it with a large number of different dishes. If the farm has a small rolling table, then it is better to place various salads and cuts on it.

For serving, you need to choose a perfectly clean tablecloth and beautiful dishes. Place plates, glasses, a bottle of wine or champagne on the table. Place a bouquet of flowers in a vase, but always in such a way that it does not interfere with the meal and does not “close” the partners from each other.

Napkins can also be beautifully decorated by giving them, for example, the shape of a flower or a heart. Place a few candles on the table – their uneven light and accompanying reflections will add more charm to a romantic evening.

And, after all, what is Valentine’s Day without a Valentine? A small heart with a self-written declaration of love will demonstrate your reverent attitude towards your soulmate and leave pleasant memories for a long time.

A beautiful legend about the appearance of the holiday

We will consider the most popular, a kind of Golden legend, which tells about the cruelty of Emperor Claudius II, who came to the conclusion that a man without a family behaves much more concentrated in battle … This idea so captured the emperor that he issued a decree forbidding men to marry, and then people began to seek help from a doctor and a priest – Valentine, with a request to secretly marry lovers.

It should be noted that Valentine was very sympathetic to the lovers, and of course he performed secret wedding ceremonies, but soon the emperor found out about the illegal acts of the priest, and locked him in a dungeon. Here, in custody, Valentine falls in love with a girl named Julia, but suddenly an order for the death penalty of a priest arrives, then he writes a message (valentine) to his beloved, in which he confesses his feelings. On February 14, 269, Valentine was executed, and since then he has been canonized, and February 14 is considered the holiday of all lovers! On this day, it is customary to give each other cute gifts, flowers, sweets and sign postcards – valentines. By the way, in Russia this holiday began to be celebrated relatively recently, around the beginning of 90-s.

What creates the right atmosphere?

A holiday will not be a holiday without an appropriate entourage, therefore, in addition to gifts and (possibly) treats, it is necessary to think about how to decorate the room in which the main action will take place. This will help you tune in to a romantic wave, experience a lot of positive emotions, and briefly distract yourself from everyday worries. Carefully thought-out decor of a public place – for example, the space of a boutique, showroom, cafe – attracts more people to the institution directly on the day of the festive event.

Hearts, doves and roses are considered to be symbols of February 14, or Valentine’s Day – their images are applied to paper products, shop windows, restaurant halls and photo studio spaces are decorated with fresh flowers, and photo zones are decorated with themed banners. Such decor options are quite expensive, and given that they only have to serve for one day, the purchase comes out as an invoice, especially if the order is placed not by the owner of the company, but by an ordinary person. A more profitable and unusual acquisition for February 14 will be figures and compositions from balloons in the current color scheme – red and pink.

Illumination for February 14

Passionate feelings of the holiday of love are always associated with a fiery flame. That is why you can decorate the room with candles. The more of them, the more romantic the situation will turn out. Notes of tenderness in the interior will be added by a decorative candlestick with semi-antique hearts.

Another original idea is to buy a 3D lamp in the shape of a cute bear with a heart.

You can also make hearts from LED strip in red and other colors and hang them around the room.

Wall decoration

On this magical day, everything should remind you of tenderness and love. You can hang a large cardboard heart on the wall, glued with corrugated paper flowers around the edges, and place your joint photo in the center.

Colored paper or thin twigs can be woven into an original wreath in the shape of a heart. It is better to decorate a chic decoration with rowan clusters, spikelets, ribbons, feathers, beads, sweets. Such a heart can decorate the door to the room.

Make a garland out of paper hearts by connecting its parts with a regular thread. Let the hearts be of various sizes and even colors. Do not limit yourself to your imagination so that the design is truly exclusive!

We decorate candles

We have already said that candles are ideal for creating an atmosphere of romance. And the creation of candle decor will only emphasize the grace of light and warmth emanating from the lights in the apartment.

It takes a few materials and your time to turn candles into an unusual and stylish addition to the festive interior for Valentine’s Day.

So, prepare:

• Glasses;
• Corrugated paper;
• Decorative wire;
• Well, the candles themselves.

In the absence of the latter, simply wrap a regular wire in a beautiful braid, or you can wrap it with thin corrugated paper.

To create a bright decor, simply arrange the most ordinary candles in glasses. Cut out hearts from corrugated paper so that their bottom is slightly rounded. For each glass, approximately 3 to 5 hearts will be needed. Wrap the glass with hearts. Look, you’ve got a flower candle. By placing several of these candles in a room, you will give your loved one an atmosphere of romance and warmth.

Making garlands

To create garlands for Valentine’s Day, you can use flowers, hearts, flags, balloons, that is, all available materials. A stretch of 2-3 garlands in the room will give a romantic decor.

To make flag garlands, use:

• strong string;
• cardboard;
• colored paper;
• glue.

Such a huge loving heart is easy to make from felt or any other dense fabric. We cut out a shape from cardboard according to the template and glue it with the roses we created. For roses, we need a large number of red or pink felt circles. Circles can be cut out by eye, we do not need a perfectly even circle. Each circle will need to be cut in a spiral inward to get a snake. Around the inner end of the snake, you need to twist the spiral until a beautiful rose appears in our hands. Lubricate the “spine” of the rose with glue. After we have made enough roses, we glue them onto our template.
