(And, *ahem*, guys...we're really talking to you here. We know the ladies know that Valentine's Day is on its way. So make sure that you do too.) The question is: what can you do for your special someone this year that will be sweet, sentimental, and original? Luckily, we're here to help. And the answer is our heart accent rings, which enable you to make lovely heart-shaped buttons for Valentine's Day! Here is an example: How easy are these special keepsake buttons to make? Well as easy as 1-2-3:

1. Prepare a button as you normally would, with your supplies and picture graphic. [video tutorial here]
2. The only difference is that the red, heart-shaped accent ring (pictured below) is then placed over the graphic and under the clear mylar cover.
3. Complete the button.

Oh, and then there is the all-important fourth step guys:

4. Make reservations at a nice restaurant, get a meaningful card that expresses your love and appreciation for your significant other, and present the button and any other presents (ring? bracelet? earrings?) to her. Then enjoy the rest of what is sure to be a fantastic evening.
