A Valentines DIY

I hope I've expressed enough already in this post that Valentines should simply be a time to show loved ones around you that you care. But if not, let me say it one more time; Let's stop assuming Valentines is just for couples. It's a fantastic chance to spoil your mum, visit a friend who needs cheering up, or even spoiling yourself for the whole day!
Should you find yourself wanting to gift someone with something personal and quite special, I've just the thing for you. In the photographs above you can see something I made for Gary a few months ago. I wanted something to hang in our new home, from me to him, which expressed my love. So I kept it simple; covered a canvas with the colour of love, and filled it with words that describe our relationship, my feelings, or love in general. I had such a great time making this, and it felt very therapeutic too to be honest. Once it was finished I let it dry and then hung it on the wall as a cute reminder of all things Gary and Jemma.
If you'd like to try this yourself, the beauty of it is you decide which words you fill the canvas with; which means it'll be oh so personal! You could fill with reminders and representations of love, like me. Or you could fill with a poem, or song, or maybe a quote you particularly connect with? Whether you're giving this to a partner, friend, family member; I'm sure they'll see the time, effort and care that went into this and love it!
What do you guys think?
