One of the biggest problems for teens during the holidays is always their budgets. It’s always “What can I get them for Christmas?” or “What will I get him for Valentine’s Day?” and “I only have 5 dollars, not enough for their gift!”
Well, have you ever considered making gifts with your creativity? “Well, I’m not that creative.” Don’t worry, I have 5 cute craft ideas you can make for your bestie or your lovie this Valentine’s Day with a small budget or no money at all!
1. Scapbook Card – @lola.malins TikTok
Material: Construction paper, stickers, and printed pictures
- If you have a printer, that’s great, but if not, you can always go print at your local library! Usually, all you need is your ID/School ID to use it, and maybe a quarter per page. To not pay for so many pages, put multiple pictures on one page, and cut them out!
