Do you love crafting? And do you loveValentine’s Day crafts? Of course you do – that’s why you’re here! Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to show your love of everybody and everything, including decoupage.
I’m all about homemade gifts for your loved ones . . . or for home decor for the 14th. If you decorate for Valentine’s Day, you’re going to love this collection of sweet Valentine’s Day crafts.
What paint should I use?
I recommend using FolkArt or Delta craft paint – I absolutely love the multisurface formulas. You can also use spray paints, though there aren’t necessarily many Valentine’s Day shades.
Consider incorporating chalkboard paint, metallics, gold leafing, and other paints you don’t normally use. The holidays are time to have a little bit of fun and get creative.
Which Mod Podge formula?
You can use the standard issue Gloss, Matte, or Satin formulas for these projects, and those will work just fine. However, since these are holiday projects, I always encourage people to think outside of the box!
If it’s me, I’m going to incorporate some Extreme Glitter or Mega Glitter into some of these projects. I think gold glitter looks especially fantastic with red.
A lot of these projects also use Dimensional Magic, which is another favorite of mine. These formulas give your crafts a little something extra above and beyond the day to day. Just something to consider!
