Make a cake that will last forever with Twinkie Chan’s adorable crochet pattern for heart shaped cakes. It includes lots of different kinds of decorations that you can mix and match to make your perfect cake and you can even add an ‘iced’ message on top.

For a smaller project, try this love letter crochet pattern by PatternCrochetGifts, which you can turn into a keyring or bag charm.

Love cute food and puns? Needless Designs has you covered with these sweet embroidery patterns. Pick up your favourite or get all three in a bundle.

If you’ve been wanting to try cross stitch, Mollie at Wild Olive just added a cute new tutorial for cross stitch heart bookmarks & tags. It’s easy enough for beginners, and more experienced stitchers can whip up a stack for friends. If you already have stitching plans, The Spruce Crafts have a page full of cross stitch alphabets so you can personalise a project with a name or date.

This DIY felt Valentine bookmark by Miss Tricks Mix has such a cute face and would make the perfect gift for a book lover. You could also make a few and use them as decorations.

For a kawaii decoration, this origami Pikachu heart wreath by おもちゃ箱 is pretty irresistible, and you could also just make a single Pikachu for a card. For simpler wreath designs, check out NiceNo1-Origami’s wreath playlist as they’ve added 2 new heart designs recently.

We shared some cupcake decorating ideas earlier this week, but if you fancy a bigger project, how about this My Melody strawberry pie on Sanrio’s blog? It includes templates but if it looks too overwhelming you could just make a simpler design with some of the heart and/or strawberry decorations – or start with a readymade pie from the supermarket!

Stuck for journaling inspiration? The Kawaii Journaling community have a new set of Love Challenge prompts with a strong self love theme. You can see what everyone is doing by joining the Facebook group, or by checking the hashtag on social media.
