What would a 'Valentine' look like if it came to life? This is what we think it would be - tiny, adorable, and a super easy project to use up all that scrap yarn! You'll definitely be able to get it done in time for the 14th and surprise your loved ones with this unique little gift. Why not use one to decorate the top of a larger present, or add one hiding in a bunch of flowers for your nearest and dearest?
