[ad_1]

If you thought TikTok was just for viral dances and eerily accurate comedy skits about relationships, think again. Whether you need a last-minute gift for your significant other, a cute decoration, or a nifty project to do with friends, one or two of the countless DIY Valentine’s Day hacks on TikTok might just do the trick.

While Pinterest remains an option for those in need of a hack, TikTok is catching up with videos of crafters, DIYers, and saver savers who know how to repurpose things they already have around the house. And when it comes to Valentine’s Day, which is fast approaching, by the way, that’s really good news.

These TikTok tricks will save you from having to queue at the drugstore, heart-shaped card in hand, along with all the other late shoppers on vacation. These gift ideas are also much more meaningful than the V-Day box of chocolates could be, which is good news for your Valentine.

Not to mention, since this year you’ll probably be celebrating Valentine’s Day at home, whether that means staying with your significant other or extending a date from afar, 2021 pretty much calls for you to fill your apartments with tons of pretty decorations. If that sounds like fun, keep reading below for 20 DIY TikTok Hacks to make your Valentine’s Day more adorable.

Scratch-off gift card

For a personalized gift, grab paper and paint and make this cute scratch card for your Valentine. You can write whatever you want on the coupon, be it something sweet, like a back rub, or something a little sexier.

Homemade Popper

All you need is a pair of scissors, some pretty paper, and bam, you will have an elegant and festive popper.

Balloon decoration

If you have a blank wall that is practically begging for Valentine’s decor, why not cover it with heart-shaped balloons? It’s very easy to do and makes a great background for V-Day Zoom calls.

Florida chocolate box

Leave all those boxes of ordinary candy at the drugstore and go for this homemade version, which includes affordable items from Target and Michael’s.

Heart shaped money

When in doubt, money is always a good gift. But instead of keeping it on a card, be smart and fold the bills into a rose shape.

Nerd cookie

If you have cookie decorating skills, and have a nerdy buddy who would appreciate eating a baby Yoda on Valentine’s Day, this TikTok is for you!

Ravioli Roses

One of the best parts of Valentine’s Day is taking everyday things, like a plate of pasta, and giving it a romantic touch. This hack shows you how to roll the ravioli in roses (you guessed it).

Gumball machine

If you saw the Valentine’s gumball machine at Target and thought “I could do that,” you were absolutely right. Here’s a step-by-step tutorial to create yours using a plastic container and a bucket.

Heart pompoms

These heart shaped pom poms would look very cute hanging on a wall or by your window.

Wreath

Another Target remake, this corn husk wreath is a lot easier to put together than you might think. It requires gathering interesting items (like, um, corn husks) but once you’re done, it’ll be the cutest door decoration you’ve ever seen.

Holiday centerpiece

Planning a dinner for two? Then run to the dollar store for some items, like plastic flowers and candy, and before you know it you’ll have this sweet little centerpiece for the table.

Candy bags

If you want to hand out candy to everyone you know and love – your friends, your parents, and even your neighbors – then just do so with these nifty goody bags. It will make the gift even more special.

Table of sausages

Sausage boards are everywhere right now, so why not make one with the Valentine’s Day theme? This one is positively covered in chocolate hearts, just as it should be.

Photo frame

To make a truly unique gift, follow this trick for a homemade photo box that you can fill with cute snapshots of yourself and your partner.

Rosey Gift

Nothing says “I love you” like hot glue chocolate bars. Not really.

Mini Cakes

These “cakes” would be so much fun to make with your partner, a friend, or by yourself on Valentine’s Day. (Imagine not having to share!)

Love bomb

Is your partner the bomb? Then follow this video for a chocolate treat that looks like sticks of dynamite.

Wooden valentine

For a really nice keepsake, make a wooden Valentine’s “card.”

Heart decorations

Another decorating tip, this TikTok explains how to make pretty garden covered hearts that would look perfect hanging along the mantel. Because if you don’t do anything else this Valentine’s Day, at least surround yourself with hearts.
