You can pick up some Valentine-colored paint swatch strips at your local hardware store (for free!) and have kids use inked letter or heart-shape stamps to create customized, colorful Valentines. These can also double as bookmarks!

Be sure to allow the ink to dry for about five minutes. Our friends at Country Living have a smart trick to make sure the ink stays put: Coat each paint strip with aerosol hair spray before stamping.

Flower prices always skyrocket on Valentine's Day, but you can make your own bouquet that will never wilt and is much cheaper. To make, our friends at Country Living say to utilize pom-pom makers in three different sizes.

Here's the how-to: Wrap yarn around the tool's arms, then follow the package instructions to create the "buds." Put a little bit of hot glue on the end of a thin twig and insert into the pom-pom's center. Hold in place until the glue dries (about 10 seconds). Repeat as many times as you'd like, then arrange in vases.
