FAIRMONT FIVE diy valentines

Valentine's Day will be here in a few short weeks.  It's soooo easy to grab a box of store-bought cards or a bag of candy but where's the fun in that?!  We love these make-at-home Valentines because they're simple, kid-friendly, and show so much more heart.  Happy crafting!
