EASY Dollar Tree Valentine Craft Idea

Hello Sweet Friends,
It’s been a while since I’ve published a new post, so I thought it was about time. Today I’m sharing a Valentine craft idea made with mostly Dollar Tree supplies. It is so EASY to make and very budget friendly. Since Valentine’s is not a BIG holiday for home decor, an inexpensive piece like this is perfect!

For those who don’t usually decorate for Valentine’s Day, this project could be tweaked a little and be pretty for wedding decor or bedroom decor. Use any color you like, I just used red because I had Valentine’s Day on the brain.

Follow along for the supply list and super EASY instructions to make one for yourself.

Dollar Tree word LOVE iron-on patch
Dollar Tree 5 x 7 frame
5 x 7 canvas panel
red paint and paint brush
glue gun
embellishment

On my last trip to the local Dollar Tree, I found this beautiful word “LOVE” in pearls. It is an iron-on patch, but I had other plans for it. I just knew it would make a cute Valentine decor piece.

The first step for this Valentine craft idea was to paint the canvas panel with red paint. Any acrylic paint will work, but I used Waverly chalk paint in the color crimson. It is a beautiful deep red color that I think worked really well for this project.

It took three coats of the paint with dry time in between to get the color perfect.

Once the paint was dry, I hot glued the word LOVE onto the red canvas panel. Then it was ready to frame.

After removing the back of the frame, I also removed the glass and set aside. Then simply put the canvas into the frame and replaced the back.

Finishing the Valentine craft idea

At this point, the project was nearly finished. All that was left was to add an embellishment. I made a messy bow and glued a heart-shaped button into the middle, then glued it onto the top of the frame.
