Valentines DIY!!!!

It's time for another Holliday! And of course I have not decorations, so I went to the craft room to see what I could come up with!!!! Our house needed a little "love" in the air! The first thing I made was a wreath. I must really like to make wreaths! It turned our cute for the most paft but I can't decide what to do to finish it off. Ill post new pictures when I decide what to do with the top but for now the rest of it turned out cute. I just covered a foam wreath with white fabric with red polka dots, then I cut hearts out of red fabric and made flowers out of pink and purple silk fabrick. The flowers were really easy I just folded the fabrick over a bunch of times and then cut on the non folded edge some flower pedals and then open it up and theres a flower. Then you place a dab of hot glue in the center of each petal and bunch the fabric and then repeat for the following layers! I decided to add a little bling because everyone knows life is better with Bling!!! The wooden letters I painted and hooked on with ribbon. Again adding bling!
The next thigs I made were the good old pictures frame art with paper and what ever else I could find!! The big one is kind of hard to see in the pictures but it says BE MINE. I did the letters with pink ribbon. the heart inside is purple fabric and of course some bling.  The smaller one is my favorite. I made it with some coordinating scrapbook paper. It says love and the o is a heart made our of little half pearls. I cut the letters out in two colors and layed them over each other to add a little flair!

I bought the cady jar you see bove from Tia Pan in Utah for like a dollar and filled it with candy hearts! I also filled another one like it with some sparkle hearts and valentines tissue papers as well as a large vase. I decided rather than fake roses I would use some heart sticks. I got everything I needed for the jars at the dollar store!!!  The final craft was a wood block. I had some sitting around in the craft room so I painted it pink and cut out some paper to go over it. I used some other wodden letters I bought at Joannes for like $2 to make the I and U, then cut out a big heart to go behind them and then I added some Bling of course. a little bow and a small purple heart! ( I used Modge Podge as the adhesive).  Hope you can find some fun easy ideas here! Happy Valentines day may your house be filled with "Love!"
