Valentine’s Day crafts from the heart are the best.
My kids always want to get involved in creating special presents for members of our family and we found a great option that is both affordable and fun for everyone involved. Plus, the recipients love the personal touch with each creation.
Take a few hours on your weekend to create these personalized ceramic mugs and cups. They are perfect for Valentine’s Day or any other upcoming holiday.
This is also a quick craft idea that isn’t overly messy for little hands.

Prepare:
- Select your object for decorating. It can be a white plate or cup that you purchase from any store. White, ceramic plates and cups are even available at the Dollar Store if you are looking to save even extra!
- Make sure you have a selection of permanent markers ready for decorating (Sharpies works great).
Let’s Create:
- Invite your kids to decorate the mugs/plates any way they want. You can even help with letters or designs. Handprints on plates add a personal touch.
- After decorating, allow the cups and plates to dry for at least 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, place them in a cold oven on a baking sheet. Set the time for 30 minutes and the oven at 400 degrees.
- Once the timer goes off, keep the cups and plates in the oven to cool.
- Once the cups and plates are completely cool, distribute to friends and family as presents!
