When you care enough to send the very best valentines…why not make them yourself? The very crafty Bruce Littlefield, author of Garage Sale America, has lots of ideas to inspire you to make your own valentine gifts.

Here are some easy valentines day ideas for gifts you can make yourself:

* Save the really special leftover ribbon from Christmas, spool it up, and write some love notes on it with a black Sharpie pen. Use a red envelope, leave a bit of ribbon peeking out.

* For a special touch, you can use sentimental items from trips for your valentines. How about using a seashell you found on the beach together to make a fortune cookie valentine? As above, start with a pretty ribbon, write a love letter on it, roll it up and stick in inside a seashell. Leave a bit of ribbon sticking out, and as it unspools, it reveals your love note.

* Fore a valentine craft that keeps on giving, you can make your own valentines in a tissue box. You write on each tissue by opening up the side of the box, write on each one, and stick them back in. Each pop up tissue has an I love you message.

* Or go to the crafts store, get some foam core, decorate around the border with red feathers or something fun, then write on the foam core and you’ve got a big homemade valentine gift.

* Finally, if you’re artsy, go to an art supply store, get a canvas, and paint a personal valentine on it.
