I’ve had fun trying out some different DIY Valentines day t shirts this month, but it’s more common for me to be brainstorming last minute ideas much closer to the actual holiday. I rounded up 15 fresh ways to DIY a Valentine’s Day shirt in 15 minutes or less, in case you are scrambling to make something for a party or last minute surprise gift! From vinyl to paint, markers and bleach, I would guess one of these will match up with what you have in your house.
