Celebrate and SHARE the love this Valentine’s Day with this FREE DIY Valentine’s Day project!

Hello, Rikki here, I am so excited to share a fun DIY Valentine’s Day project with you today that all ages can enjoy!

Whether you’re spending Valentine’s Day solo with a cozy candle, some good music, and a warm drink in hand, or gathering with the kids or grandkids for a fun family project, this tutorial is perfect for everyone! It’s simple, enjoyable, and easy to do, making it ideal for all ages.

Maybe this year you and your partner want to get creative together while watching a rom-com—you can each make your own version of the project! The best part? It takes under an hour to complete. You probably already have most of the supplies at home, and a quick trip to the craft store will round out any paints or brushes you might need. Feel free to get creative and customize it however you like—it’s as flexible as a soup recipe!

Bonus points if you add a little extra sparkle with metallic accents, glitter, or rhinestones!

Let’s get started!

Alright, you’ve gathered your supplies, now set the mood, grab those candles, put on those slow tunes and get ready to let your creativity flow.

If you are painting this DIY Valentine’s Day project with kids, the dry breaks are a perfect time to make some snacks, get drink refills, take a movement break and do some jumping jacks, if you kids are a little older perhaps you want to invoke the Vday spirit and talk about who you LOVE!

I hope that however you spend your Valentines Day this year it is filled with love, care and joy….of course chocolate and candy never hurt either!

Did you make this project? SHARE it with me on our Facebook Page

Of course, Artvana is here to help you live more creatively, if you don’t have the time or space to set up a paint session at home we would love to have you join us at one of our local Washington State classes!

We have lots of fun Valentine’s Day Project Paint and Sip classes happening in Olympia, Lacey, Yelm, Spokane, Tacoma, Gig Harbor and more!

We have Valentine’s Day classes for adults and for kids and families depending on which vibe you are after this Holiday. Check out our complete Valentine’s Day Paint and Sip Collection HERE

Here are a few more of my favorite Valentines Day must haves:

Gourmet Caramels

Not only are these caramels handmade in small batches in Utah, they come in the most beautiful packaging! These will be a lovely treat for your lover, or yourself!

Beautiful Candles

These candles are all natural and have that extra something! They each come with an information card describing the fun add-ins and crystals, plus they have a delicious fruity and floral scent.

Hey friends! February will be upon us before you know it and that means….VALENTINES DAY!

For all the lovers out there this day can be exciting to look forward to! It can also be stressful trying to think of something fun and romantic to do with your significant other. Maybe you are newly dating and not sure what to plan for your new date. OR perhaps you have been in a relationship for decades and are stumped on something fun and exciting for both of you to enjoy.

If the typical dinner and movie doesn’t sound like the moves this year what else could there be?

Let’s dive in and explore some fun date night Valentines Day ideas for Couples, Singles and Galentines groups!

February in Washington is still pretty cold and rainy and generally depressing but there are so many ways you can make it cozy, make it creative or make it candle-lit!

Cozy date night Valentines Day ideas 2025

If you are wanting to keep it cozy this year why not prepare for the evening with a home-cooked dinner and a puzzle! If you think puzzles are just for older folks you may be surprised with how much fun you have together!

Building a puzzle by firelight while cooking a meal together sounds like the most romantic thing to me, it will be laid back and as easy or complicated as you want for dinner, a simple Lobster mac and cheese is something everyone can make at home and is sure to impress!

A puzzle is a great way to see how well you work together and discover new things about your partner. Here is a recipe and some puzzles to get you started!

I personally LOVE this Couples Campfire Puzzle
