Fun Valentine’s Crafts to Make With Your Photos

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to turn your favorite photos into heartfelt keepsakes. Whether they’re from a recent session or a sweet snapshot on your phone, photos add a personal touch that makes any craft extra special. These projects are simple, meaningful, and perfect for kids, grandparents, or anyone you love.

Here are a few fun ways to turn your photos into Valentine magic:

Photo Valentine Cards

Print a few small versions of your favorite images and glue them onto folded cardstock. Add a handwritten note, some heart stickers, or a little sparkle. These make beautiful classroom Valentines, cards for grandparents, or keepsakes for loved ones.

Heart Garland

Cut hearts out of cardstock or craft paper and attach small printed photos to each one. String them together with twine or ribbon to create a garland you can hang on a mantle, wall, or doorway. It’s festive, personal, and reusable year after year.

Mini Photo Frames

Grab inexpensive frames from a craft store or dollar aisle and let kids decorate them with paint, gems, or stickers. Slip in a favorite photo and you’ve got an instant gift that grandparents will treasure.

Photo Love Notes

Print wallet-sized images and tape or glue them onto small notes. Write something sweet on the back and tuck them into lunchboxes, backpacks, or pillows as little surprises throughout the month.

Custom Gift Tags

Use small photo prints as gift tags for Valentine treats. Punch a hole in the corner, tie on ribbon, and write a name or message on the back. It’s a simple way to make even the smallest gift feel extra special.

Photos are meant to be enjoyed, shared, and celebrated. Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to get them off your screen and into your hands—turning moments into memories you can hold onto.
