It can be difficult to find the right gift for your loved ones on Valentine’s Day. However, this is the perfect reason to break out your sewing machine and get to work on some fun and festive crafts. If you’re looking for inspiration, Sew Special, a fabric store on Maui, HI, shares a few of their favorite gift ideas for those special people in your life.

3 Crafts You Can Make for Valentine’s Day

1. Fabric Heart Bookmark

A handmade fabric heart bookmark can be an ideal gift for the reader in your life. This bookmark fits snugly on the bottom of a page, thanks to a cute little pocket, and is a convenient way to save your place when reading a beloved book. By using three pieces of fabric (two 4-inch squares and one 3-inch square) and a pattern in the shape of a heart, you can sew and create a beautiful bookmark.

2. Ruffled Heart Dress

You can use recycled T-shirts to make adorable Valentine-themed dresses for your kids. Select a medium to large sized shirt to make up the main part of the dress (you want to ensure it’s dress or skirt length). Then, choose a few colorful shirts to construct the ruffled center heart. Your daughter is sure to enjoy wearing her one-of-a-kind dress to any Valentine’s Day parties or school events.

3. Heart-Adorned Candle Mat

Candle mats help protect your furniture when lighting candles in your home. Making one can be a fun project, and you can design it to fit the Valentine’s Day theme. You’ll need two types of material for the mat itself, as well as two to four different types of fabric for the hearts. You’ll also need a heart pattern, which will ensure your decorations are the right shape. When applying the hearts, be sure to position them so that your candle can fit snugly in the middle.

Serving Kahului for more than four decades, Sew Special is a beloved fabric store among local crafters for their great selection of sewing supplies and top-rate service, and they’ll help you find what you need for your special project.
