32 Fun DIY Valentine Crafts to Make & Sell

When I was pregnant, I had this dream of starting a little crafting business.

I imagined making cute, handmade creations to sell—something that would let me stay creative and earn a bit of extra money too.

While that never quite happened (I ended up spending more time knitting and eventually diving into blogging), crafting has always stayed close to my heart.

Now, DIY crafts have become something my tween daughter and I share together.

We love getting creative, especially around holidays like Valentine’s Day.

There’s just something about making thoughtful, handmade crafts that makes this time of year even more special.

And if you’ve ever thought about turning your crafts into a little side hustle, Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to start.

So, whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just dipping your toes into the DIY world, these Valentine crafts are easy to make, fun to create, and totally sellable.
