Valentine's Day Crafting: More Decorations

I'm back again with more Valentine's Day decorations. I'm having a ton of fun putting these together.

First, the kids and I started painting wooden pieces we got at Michael's. My little man did a great job on his love birdhouse. 

I painted two signs. One I painted white and then went over loosely with gold paint. 

The second one was in the shape of a heart and I went over it in several shades of pinks and then again in red to give it a streaky-stripe look. 

Using the Silhouette Cameo, I cut out a quote from Beauty and the Beast for the first sign to go along with a painting I have on my mantle right now. 

 

I used more of that fun gold glitter vinyl for the word "Love" on the heart. It is so sparkly! I'm going to put a hanger on the back so I can hang this heart up on the wall. 

Next I cut out our names on vinyl and adhered them to these great little mailboxes I found in Target in the dollar bins. I'm going to put little love notes in there for the boys to read on Valentine's Day. 

Here is part of my mantle with the painting I mentioned previously! (Painting With a Twist). 

That's all for now! We are decorated! 

Valentine's Day Crafting - Decorations

All the Christmas decorations are officially away. My house looks empty without them. Valentine's Day is  less than a month away I am itching to keep it looking nice and decorated with lots of hearts and pink and red things! 

The first project I worked on was a Tulle Wreath: 

I started with a wire wreath from Michael's, scissors, lots of tulle in different colors, and a Be Mine hanging decoration I bought at the dollar store years ago. I normally just have that on the front door but this year I want a full wreath! 

Using my measuring cutting mat that is on my desk, I cut 6 inch pieces of tulle and just tied them in knots going around the wreath on the outside circle. I didn't do a pattern or follow any order, I just grabbed whatever color and went with it. 

Then I began tying them to the inside circle. It was time consuming but if you cut all your tulle beforehand and put on your current Netflix binge-watch you are good to go! 

Here is mine all done and on my crazy bright door. It is so full and fluffy and pink! 

What I love about the tulle wreaths is that you can do some for any season in any colors. I got the idea from the Santa wreaths we made at a Pinterest Party recently. They were amazing.
