Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and nothing says "I love you" quite like a handmade gift that adds a cozy touch to your home. Whether you're planning a "Galentine’s" tufting party or crafting a secret surprise for your special someone, we’ve rounded up three incredible projects from the tufting community to get your creative juices flowing.

Mirrors are the "it" item in the tufting world right now. This stunning project by @theruglybarnacle on TikTok takes a standard mirror and frames it with plush, textured tufting.
