Yikes! Valentine’s Day is almost here! Are you panicking

because you don’t have a great idea for a handmade

Valentine for that someone special?

I have a super EASY DIY Valentine gift idea for you!

 

Looking for a quick & easy DIY Valentine Gift idea? I have just the thing. Turn a deck of playing cards into a "52 Reasons I love You" book. Your Sweetie will swoon! This idea is perfect for an anniversary gift or birthday gift.

 

People! This is SO easy. It may take a little time to come up with 52 Reasons that you love somebody, but it’s a wonderful exercise for the soul. Just taking the time to focus on the positive things about someone is time well spent! I think you’ll really enjoy this great idea. It’s DIY but simple and not too costly.

 

Here’s what you need:

  • A deck of playing cards with a back that you like… I used a Jumbo deck that I found at Dollar Tree

  • Your list of 52 reasons

  • My card template or design your own… my template is just a simple table in a Word document. You can access it HERE. Remember that my template is sized for Jumbo cards measuring
    3.5″ by 5″

  • 2 loose-leaf rings… I used 2″ diameter

  • Spray adhesive or your favorite paper glue that will leave a smooth surface

Here’s what you do:

  • Type your 52 Reasons PLUS a front cover & a back cover on the template… I just used regular printer paper

  • Cut out each “reason card” and glue to the BACK of each playing card

  • Use the 2 Jokers for the front and back covers of your little book.

  • Punch 2 holes on the left side of each card

  • Assemble your 52 Reasons book with the loose leaf rings
