Shortly after taking down my Christmas decorations I put up my Valentine’s Day decor. The house just looked so bare. And even though my mom thought I was “jumping the gun” a little, I couldn’t help it.
The mantel isn’t too much different than last year. I added the red fabric garland and the wrapped letter K (just baker’s twine wrapped around a cardboard letter). I put out my little mini X and O painted canvases that I made. I also put up the bead sprigs that I spray painted white.
I love my little pom pom garland. I used yarn scraps to make pom poms and then thread them through a string of yarn. The little ornaments are just paper hearts I cut out to hang on the metal tree Josh made.
I made some crayon hearts for our window. Just sharpen crayons on wax paper and then iron to melt. (via Martha Stewart)
These adorable little owls were a gift from a sweet blog reader. I got it at Christmas so I hung it on my tree. After Christmas I figured I would just keep them up somewhere. The little heart makes it Valentine’s Day related. After that holiday I’ll just have to find a special place to keep them out.
I decided to be completely unoriginal and make one of the yarn wreaths all over Pinterest. I bought insulation tubing from Menard’s for a couple bucks which is a lot cheaper than the styrofoam wreaths. It seriously took me like two hours to wrap the tube because I’m such a perfectionist. (Note to self: Use thicker yarn next time which will be more forgiving and take less time.) Then I followed this tutorial for the flowers. The flowers were fun to make. I could have kept going with those. Maybe I’ll make a spring wreath like that for after Valentine’s Day.
So cute! My v-day decorations are pathetic- I need to step it up! I was also working on a wintery wreath, but I will NOT be posting about it after seeing yours. :)
all very adorable! I just love those owls!
You, my friend, are going to be the darling of Pinterest. Your house is adorable!
I love that you decorate for V-day. I need to make some holiday wreaths in a bad way…
Your decorations are so cute! I used to decorate for all the major holidays…then I got old and lazy. :) I love that the owls found their way into your Valentine’s Day decor, too.
Love it so cute! I need to make one of these! :)
does your blog reader make the owls for you friends only or does she sell them as well??
