" Make a Cut-Out Valentine Card  No store-bought card can say what you really mean, so make the card yourself. Cutting the message out by hand with an X-Acto knife might seem like the hardest part, but actually the trick is writing something just snarky enough to be funny without getting slapped. Can&amp;#039;t think of anything to say? Try a Kissing Card instead. Duct-Tape Rose  Real roses wilt, drop their petals and need to be cleaned up. Duct-tape roses last, well, forever, and act as a wonderful excuse to fill out your supply of duct with some fancy colors. Duct tape not quite your style? Try a dozen Red Origami Roses. DIY Chocolate  Every DIYer should be familiar with latex or silicone molding, and making molds for custom chocolates is a great way to learn. Also, since you&amp;#039;ll be melting and reforming the chocolate, there&amp;#039;s the opportunity to make some crazy flavors. Jalape\u00F1o chocolate can quite literally spice up your Valentine&amp;#039;s Day. Paint Sampler Valentine Wreath  Use every shade of pink known to man (or at least known to paint manufacturers!) to make a Valentine&amp;#039;s Day wreath out of paint chips. You weren&amp;#039;t going to use those chips anyway, so you might as well make them into something. Ice Sculpture with a Rose Surprise  Freeze a rose inside a heart-shaped block of ice, and watch the ice melt to reveal the rose. You and your partner will be talking about this useless but romantic present for years, and it&amp;#039;s a chance to try out your woodworking tools on ice. Solid Perfume  If you  distilled your own perfume for a Christmas gift, you can create a solid version with beeswax and almond oil. Not enough time for the distillation? Try essential oils from a health store instead. Anatomically Correct Heart Card      Does your Valentine have a strong stomach, and like a little gore? Present your loved one with this anatomically correct heart, a card (&amp;quot;You have my heart!&amp;quot;), with--as a plus--a ring hidden in what could be the left ventricle. When the heart is cut open, blood gushes out and the blood-soaked ring can be pulled out. What sweetheart could resist such a display? Wooden Sculpture of Entwined Hearts  Here&amp;#039;s your chance to try &amp;quot;captured&amp;quot; woodworking, while making something special and unique that shows exactly how you feel. Inflatable Love Seat  This is an epic project of image transfer, inflatable furniture design, sewing and sealing. &amp;quot;An inflatable shrine to my girlfriend. It was the tackiest and softest thing I could think of making.&amp;quot; Pulsing Hubby Detector      A pair of RF transmitters and receivers are at the heart of this Geiger-counter-like love detector. Give one to each partner, and the LED heart pulses faster and faster the closer together they come. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
