101 Valentine's Day Crafts for Adults for 2025

Image
WOW! I've just finished putting together this massive resource page filled with my favorite 101 Valentine's Day crafts for adults. After the hectic pace of the busy seasons before, I'm more than ready to sit down and enjoy some relaxed time for fun crafting. Do you get sick, like I do, of finding great looking crafty ideas on sites like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or Pinterest only to find that the page no longer exists or is on a page that has no actual tutorial or instructions? All 101 of these Valentine's Day crafts have been checked by me before the run up to the event. They are absolutely the best Valentine crafts I found available at the start of 2025. Crafting for this occasion comes at a great time of year. I stay indoors more so get more crafting done. Join me in beating those winter blues by making some crafts filled with lots of hearts and love instead. 101 of them to be exact!

African Flower Crochet Pincushion Tutorial

Image
If you're fairly new to the yarn craft of crochet, you'll be looking for some easy starter projects designed for beginners. This African flower pincushion is one of them because it uses basic stitches and is good for practicing color changes and more. One of the first things I did when I started crochet was to start making  Granny Squares  because they are a particularly good way of learning because they are small and quick to make. If this particular pattern is still out of your reach, switch it to any granny "square" or motif that you can do to make your pincushion instead. You can quickly make up new shapes and motifs either all in one color or with different colors and then sew them together to make items that can be used around the home: cushions, blankets, throws, quilts, coasters, table runners and more.
