Fold in your older kids involved with half. Glue loose ends together. Where fold is glue the bottom of another heart to the inside of fold. Repeat until you get length that is desired. Hang. Get your older kids involved. Cheap and fun and very festive. (Use your wedding colors to make these for your wedding!)

Here we have a great simple gingerbread house design assembled with all kinds of Valentines Day goodies. This would be a great gift and can be stuffed with even more goodies for a special gift. I have seen these for Halloween and Christmas that the roof is actually a lid –  how cool would that be?

Place cut sides of each strawberry down so that it creates a heart shape. Push a toothpick through the sides to give you a solid heart form that won’t move. Melt chocolate chip (of your favorite type) in a slow cooker on low. Use tongs and dip the entire strawberry into the chocolate. Place on wax paper to harden. Then drizzle colored icing or a different type of chocolate across and immediately sprinkle sugar or colored sugar or sprinkles or edible glitter on top. Tap off excess. Enjoy!
