Valentine’s Day is around the corner, so why not spread the love with some cute decor? Whether you need ideas to set the right tone for an intimate dinner for two, a Galentine’s Day brunch, or a kids’ celebration, you’ve come to the right spot.
We’ve rounded up our all-time favorite easy projects for Valentine’s Day decor that Cupid himself would love. Plus, some of these crafty ideas work as cute Valentine’s Day gifts too!
Set the Mood With Candles
There is something so alluring about lit candles—the way the flames dance, and the fragrance released by the melting wax disperses throughout the room. This Valentine’s Day, let your love for your partner or your best friend glow with a personalized candle.
Follow this tutorial from Hello Glow to create personalized Valentine’s Day candles that double as a great gift.
If you’re not feeling so crafty, set out a few candles to set the mood. We love these handcrafted dough bowl candles. Made of a combination of fir and aromatic balsam, the scents are smooth, seductive, and perfect for after hours. Plus, once your candle has burned down, use the bowl to display flowers, candies, and more.

Make a Love(ly) Photo Display
Valentine’s Day is all about sentimentality, and what’s more sentimental than photos of you and your loved ones? This incredibly easy Valentine’s Day photo banner tutorial is a great project for those who would rather use their printer than spend all day messing with glue sticks and paints.
The project is easy enough that you can update the photos seasonally and use the banner for birthdays, anniversaries, and more.

Go Bold With a Balloon Display
Speaking of photos, there’s nothing more instagrammable for your #valentinesdayparty than this incredible balloon display. To create this oversized balloon arch, you’ll need colorful balloons, balloon tape, faux flowers or stems, and an hour to pull it all together. We love this particular tutorial because it’s not only fun, but the faux foliage interspersed throughout adds an organic (and chic) feel to the display.

Fashion Hearts Out of Wine Corks
If you spent quarantine saving up wine corks, then you’ve got a good base for this sweet DIY home decor accent. Not only does this project give you a good excuse to crack open a bottle of wine, but it’s incredibly easy. All you need are some wine corks (real is better than synthetic), a hot glue gun, a piece of paper, and a pen.
Plus, this Valentine Cork Heart is a versatile décor piece. Hang it on your door as a wreath or place it on the mantle for a little rustic and romantic charm. Get the tutorial at Sand & Sisal.

Add Some Fun To Your Flower Arrangement
Nothing says romance more like a fresh bouquet of flowers. Red and pink roses are the traditional choices, but there are other colors that go with Valentine’s Day schemes. Spring for some pastel, purple, yellow, or orange rose blooms for an unexpected and charming bouquet.
You’re going to need something to put that beautiful bouquet in. We love this fun chocolate-box-inspired vase tutorial that mixes our two favorite Valentine’s Day staples. Simply print out this graphic and wrap it around a container for a sweet display.
