Headboard -This project is a little more involved than the others, but the results are stunning. If you’ve got some time to spar (or are really in the dog house) try upcycling an old headboard. Add some beauty to your bedroom and create a piece that will be around for many Valentine’s Days to come.

Valentine’s Day Jenga - We love this unique take on the classic game of Jenga. Cut up your own blocks, write some sweet and sappy messages, and have some fun!
