How to make Tic Tac Toe Valentines (+19 Candy Free Valentines!)

Tic Tac Toe Valentines are a creative, non-candy option. This quick and simple Tic Tac Toe Valentine card – along with 19 more candy-free Valentines – are simple and sweet (without the sugar!).

These little Tic Tac Toe Valentines turned out too cute… and they are right up my son’s alley. He is a big fan of Tic Tac Toe games (it’s our go-to boredom buster while waiting at restaurants). So, it makes sense to share that fun with his friends at Valentine’s.

Tic Tac Toe Valentine Supplies

#1. Print the Tic Tac Toe Valentine

Print the Tic Tac Toe Valentine Printable near the end of this post onto white cardstock.

#2. Cut the Tic Tac Toe Cards

Use a paper trimmer to cut the tic tac toe cards along the gray borders. If you don’t have a paper trimmer, scissors will work fine (though I’d totally recommend a paper trimmer in your craft supply arsenal — it’s one of the best tools!)

#3. Package the Cards

Next, package the cards in one of several ways:

#4. Personalize the Cards

If you’d like personalized Valentine cards, rather than having to sign the cards, you can grab a customized version in my Etsy shop.
