9 Conversation Heart Crafts For Valentine’s Day

January 14, 2017 by Amanda Formaro

Conversation heart candy is a classic treat that has been enjoyed by people of all ages for many years. These small, heart-shaped candies are traditionally given as gifts during Valentine’s Day, and are often inscribed with cute phrases or messages of love. In recent years, however, conversation hearts have gained popularity for use in a wide variety of craft projects.

From gifts and wall art to room decor and more, these versatile candies can be used to add a touch of sweetness to any project. In this article, we’ve compiled a list of creative ways to use conversation heart candies in your craft projects. From heart-shaped wreaths and garlands to Valentine’s Day cards and gift boxes, these projects are sure to inspire your own creative ideas. Here are just a few other ways to decorate with conversation hearts:

  1. Create a conversation heart mosaic by using different colors of conversation hearts to form a design or pattern on a canvas.
  2. Use conversation hearts to decorate a vase or jar, either by gluing them onto the surface or filling the container with a layer of the candies.
  3. Make a conversation heart banner by stringing together heart-shaped cutouts made from construction paper or felt, and decorating them with conversation hearts.
  4. Use conversation hearts to decorate a cake or cupcakes for a Valentine’s Day party.
  5. Make a conversation heart tree by attaching heart-shaped candies to a Styrofoam cone or other base, and then arranging them in a tree-like shape.

Do you eat Conversation hearts? Do you have a favorite color you like to eat? I am a sucker for pink, every other color seems un-edible to me. I love making crafts from unusual mediums and crafting with candy is one of those things. We truly are only limited by our imagination.

Create Your Own Cozy Review: A Practical Guide to Slow Living and a More Intentional Home

I feel like “cozy” has become one of those words we all quietly crave, especially when life feels busy, noisy, and just a little bit chaotic. So a book like Create Your Own Cozy immediately feels inviting. It promises a slower, softer way of living, and honestly, I am always here for that.

This book leans into the idea of creating a home that feels calm, comforting, and personal. Not perfect. Not styled within an inch of its life. Just genuinely cozy. The kind of space where you can exhale a little.

What I really like about this concept is that it feels achievable. It is not about expensive makeovers or chasing trends. It is about small, practical changes that help you enjoy your space more. Things like soft lighting, simple routines, meaningful decor, and creating little moments of comfort throughout your day.

That idea fits beautifully with the growing love for slow living and intentional homes. It is something so many of us are leaning into right now, especially when home starts to feel less like a showroom and more like the place where we want to rest, create, and properly live.

If this idea speaks to you, then you might also enjoy this cottage-style DIY decor idea, which has that same warm, charming feel that makes a home feel welcoming rather than overly polished.

And for anyone who loves bringing handmade touches into their space, these simple DIY home decor ideas  are a great reminder that you do not need a huge budget to make your home feel more personal.

What makes this book appealing is that it is not just about how your home looks, but how it feels. It encourages you to create spaces that support rest, creativity, and everyday comfort. That might mean a cozy reading corner, softer lighting in the evenings, or just making your kitchen feel a little more inviting.

I also think this book pairs nicely with the idea of making small upgrades that have a big impact. Something like these creative upgrade ideas for your home fits right in with that same mindset of shaping a home that works for real life while still feeling lovely.

For crafters especially, cozy living often overlaps with creativity. A handmade blanket, a basket of yarn, a sewing project waiting on the table, or a candle glowing in the corner all add to that feeling. It is not about perfection. It is about comfort, warmth, and a home that reflects the people living in it.

This book feels like a gentle reminder that you do not need to overhaul your entire home to create that atmosphere. You can build it slowly, one small change at a time.

And honestly, that is probably why the idea of cozy resonates so much. It is not about doing more. It is about slowing down enough to enjoy what you already have.
