My kids are a kick this year to make all homemade Valentine's for their family and friends. One of my favorites is the ones we did with puzzle pieces. We have been doing several DIY Valentines From Popsicle Sticks along with other popsicle stick crafts.
DIY Valentines From Popsicle Sticks – I Love You to Pieces Valentine
I love finding puzzles at the Dollar Store for my kids. They last maybe a month before they start to lose pieces that is when they get added to our box for crafts. We have made several crafts with them but I love turning them into a Valentine this year,
There the kids made this one for their grandparents but they are good for parents and siblings too.
We have been doing quite a few Valentines Day craft this year including this DIY Button Frame Valentines Day Gift Idea

Directions for DIY Valentines From Popsicle Sticks
Start by lining up your popsicle sticks to make your ‘board' then gluing a few sticks across the back to hold them together as shown.
Then if you choose to paint the board do that now and let dry.
Paint your puzzle pieces the color(s) of your choice. If you wish to add glitter to them, do that now before they dry. Let dry.
Using the Hot glue, glue the puzzle pieces to the ‘board' leaving room for writing at the top and the bottom. Let dry.
If you wish to add jewels now is the time to do so and let dry.
Using either a sharpie or paint write your message across the top and bottom. A few suggestions
– I Love You to Pieces
-We Love You to Pieces
-You Complete Me
-You Will Always Have A Piece of My Heart (if you have room)
-Thank You for Being a Piece of My Life
Let dry.
You can also add some yarn or ribbon to the back to allow for hanging if you wish.
Give your DIY Valentine to your Valentine and enjoy it!
