My 4 year old son Bryan and I went to the local Dollar Tree to look for Valentines crafts for kids ideas. We were surprised at the huge selection of Valentine crafting supplies! While browsing the aisles, Bryan and I got so many ideas of what crafts we could do today.
In this post, I will be showing you how to make a Valentines wreath, vase, picture frame, votive candle and cards.
Bryan had so much fun in the Dollar Tree! He tried on this cute headband. LOL!
There were plastic and glass Valentine’s vases in the front of the store, but they looked plain. Surely, we could decorate them so they looked cuter.
In another aisle, we found tons of pretty ribbons and in another aisle there were Valentine’s stickers!
We ended up paying $25 worth of Valentine’s craft supplies and then went home to have FUN!
6 Dollar Tree Valentines Crafts for Kids and Parents
These Valentine’s crafts are perfect for kids and parents to do together. Parents need to do the dangerous stuff like use the hot glue gun and kids can decorate with stickers and doilies!
#1 Heart Burlap Wreath
It was Bryan that gave me the idea for this adorable wreath that we are currently hanging on the door!
To get started you need the following supplies from the Dollar Tree:
- Styrofoam circle
- Burlap ribbon (I used 1 and a half)
- Foam stickers
- Alphabet stickers
You also need a glue gun and glue sticks to fix the ribbon to the styrofoam circle.
Step 1: Put a big dab of glue on the circle with the glue gun. Be careful because the glue will be hot! I’m used to working with glue guns, but you might want to wear gloves for protection.
Step 2: Start wrapping the burlap ribbon around the circle very tightly. This burlap ribbon I picked up has wires on the edges so it is easier to manipulate.
Step 3: Once the circle is wrapped up, dab more glue to close it. You will need a 2nd roll of burlap ribbon.
Step 4: Tie a bow with the burlap ribbon and glue it to the top of the wreath.
Step 5: Decorate the wreath with foam stickers if you’d like. Have your kids help you!
Now you have a cute wreath to decorate your door or wall!

#2 Bling Bling Hearts Picture Frame
To get started, you need the following supplies from the Dollar Tree:
- Silver or black picture frame
- Jewel ribbon
- Glitter stickers
You also need a hot glue gun and glue sticks for this project.
Step 1: Glue a big dab of glue at one corner and then down the side of the frame. Stick the ribbon over the glue and cut to size. Be careful because the glue will go through the holes in the ribbon.
Step 2: Glue ribbon to the other sides of the frame.
Step 3: Grab the kids and have them help you decorate the frame with glitter stickers.
Put a cute picture of your loved one in the frame for a festive gift!
