Valentine’s Day cards are known for being fun and colorful, but wonderful things start to happen when you let texture take the leading role! If you’ve got a visually-impaired or more tactilely-inspired loved one, you’ll definitely want to check out these DIY braille Valentine’s Day cards from Jenny at Craft Test Dummies.

Some of you may know that once-upon-a-time I was a Music Therapist, and back when I was a student in college I spent two summers working at Highbrook Lodge, a camp for the visually impaired. The wonderful training I received there has stuck with me my whole life, informing how I “see” the world and consider folks with visual impairments even today.

So this year I wanted to make some Braille Valentine’s Cards with a focus on texture!
