Told ya I had a few more Valentine Crafts to share! I still haven't finished all my V-day decor yet because I'm waiting for our new printer to get here to print off a few things but I will take a picture of the whole "mantel" when I get it down hopefully this week-- I know, I need to get a move on!
'Be Mine' Banner.
I got me some wooden letters that I liked and painted a few and mod-podged a few with some scrapbook paper. Then I glued it onto some hot pink twine-like ribbon. I really like how it turned out and this will be used for years to come!
"Flower Petal" Topiary
Remember that amazing heart wreath that I posted from eighteen25? Well, I stole this idea from them...kinda. I decided instead of making a wreath I would make a topiary and a few balls too.
It is really easy to make: cut yourself some circles out of felt (you need more felt than you think so overstock---this took about 6 8x10 sheets), make them about the size of a standard sized cookie, and then fold in fourths. You can either attach by sticking a straight pin through the corner of the felt and into the Styrofoam ball or hot gluing it down (that's what I did). Don't lay them in a line, stagger them...it make it look better...FYI. Then I stuck a wooden rod into (actually did this before all the felt gluing), covered a tin can with some cute paper and placed the rod into the can and added a few little embellishments. Cute stuff!
All your valentine decor is looking so cute! Good job! You're so good to decorate for every holiday!
ReplyDeleteThe topiary is lovely! tfs
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Love them both!
ReplyDeleteI started to make a topiary last night and ran out of the cupcake liners I was using. What stinks is, I was at Michaels just before I started it! I hope they have more of what I am using! lol
Thanks for linking up!
