Old-Fashioned

Old-Fashioned

This Valentine's Day, give an old-fashioned. Sure, the bitter whiskey cocktail sounds nice, but what we really mean is get down and dirty with your inner artist. Nothing says "I Love You" more than a handcrafted, true labor of love.

The Tools: Paper, pipe cleaners, glitter, glue, magazine cut-outs, sequins, feathers, flowers, markers, crayons, photos, scissors, fabric, old jeans... the possibilities are endless.

Say Something Spunky: Yes, "I love you" works, but here's your chance to get clever. Inspired by one of our very own, Courtney used sayings like "I mustache you a question" and "Owl always love you".

Whether you have a hubby, boyfriend, best friend, girlfriend, or even roommate - this Tuesday is a chance to make someone's day a little extra special with an old-fashioned, homemade valentine.

PS - if you need more ideas - our Mini Love Mag is full 'em.
