Show your love with handmade Valentine's Day creations

Valentine’s Day is one of the few occasions when going all out only adds to the fun. Whether it’s indulging in a romantic movie marathon, going for broke with heart-shaped everything or hanging panels of bold red wallpaper to set the mood, now’s the time to embrace that warm, fuzzy feeling and free your inner romantic.

Here are some simple yet charming ideas to sweep your beloved off his -- or her -- feet.

Jazz up a box of chocolates
A box of chocolates may be a Valentine’s Day classic but this is one tradition that’s starting to feel a little stale. Give your store-bought treats an upgrade by re-covering the box with a few scraps of leftover wallpaper or wrapping paper. Combine the pieces for more drama and interest. To finish, trim the edges with a length of pretty ribbon and fill with fluffy white feathers.
