Vintage Inspired Valentine's Day Crafts

Vintage inspired Valentine's Day crafts are a great way to incorporate your love of all things vintage into your Valentine's Day décor. I love to decorate with vintage items in my home. Over the years I have made quite a few Vintage inspired Valentine's Day crafts that are perfect for decorating your home. Here are some suggestions and ideas for creating your own vintage inspired Valentine's Day crafts.

One of the first vintage inspired Valentine's Day craft projects I ever did was to make a vintage inspired candle votive out of a metal can. It was a Folgers coffee can that was about to find its way into the garbage. I decided to use tin snips to cut out a heart, then I painted the entire metal can with a rusting faux treatment kit I found at Lowe's. I made the entire can look like it was really old. Then I put a candle in it and used I for a great centerpiece on my coffee table. I have also made this project by painting the can metal can with pink paint and then rubbing gel wood stain on it to make it look old. You can also glue in some colored acetate or parchment paper to the inside to cover the heart opening.

For a quick vintage Valentine's Day craft project that will really add some décor to your home take some vintage canning jars and place and pink or red candle inside. Tie a vintage inspired or Valentine's Day themed ribbon around the mouth of the jar for added detail. Look for velvet ribbons or lace ribbon at the flea market.

An avid vintage collector will love this one and it is so easy to do. I change these vintage jars and candle out with the season and I never have to buy new décor for the upcoming holiday. Now that I live in a smaller space, this saves a lot of closet room.
