If you’re looking for some valentine’s day ideas, nothing beats a homemade card. I still remember the robot one boyrobot made for me one year. So cute!!!

Here’s a list of 5 cheap diy card ideas by Wisebread. I really like all of these ideas. So creative!

My favorite is the message in a bottle:

Shopping list –
1 glass bottle with cork – $2 (I got mine from Michaels, try any craft store)
1 piece of scrapbooking paper – 15 cents (choose a theme appropriate to the message)
A few small shells from the beach – FREE (or, get a bag for $1 from a craft store)

Instructions –
Do I have to spell it out? Ok. Take the cork out of the bottle, write a lovely message on the paper, put a few shells in the bottom of the bottle, roll up the paper, pop it inside and put the cork back on. Really simple. Do it on Valentine’s Day or an anniversary, or a message to friends/relatives overseas. Trust me, it’s a winner.
