I have decorations for Easter, and Thanksgiving, and Christmas. (LOTS of decorations for Christmas!)
But for Valentine's Day, not so much.
However, this year, I decided to put some up. Some HOMEMADE ones. You see, my inspiration over at Flowerpatchfarmgirl made these lovelies.
I didn't have a heart punch like hers, so I just folded magazine papers in beautiful colors in half, and free-handed the hearts.
HUNDREDS of hearts while I was watching a movie one day.
It took me an entire 2 hour movie to make these. (Probably would've went faster with a punch...I priced them in the store...but it wasn't worth it.)
I just used my tape runner to attach them all together, and put them on long pieces of embrodery floss I had in my sewing box.I think I like flowerpatchgirl's are a lot better....but mine do the job.
Then I added some decorations I already had.
Helps that I have red throughout the house anyway.
It's comin' ya'll. The Holiday is upon us.
Don't hesitate to tell your sweetheart/kids/anyone you love them. NOW!
I like that your hearts are each a little different. Now if only I had time to watch a movie and make one of these myself in the next 2 1/2 weeks...

I love to decorate for all the holidays too. Funny, I don’t have many Valentine’s decorations either but I have a few. I love the garland--I may try to make some :)
ReplyDeleteYours turned out much better than mine. I think I was rushing too much. Mine ended up all different sizes. (I don't have a punch either - gonna watch garage sales this summer though!)
ReplyDeleteWow! your decoration is beautiful, I haven't decorating our hour for valentines. You inspired me to decorate our house. Thanks to your post :)

Love those hearts...I need to do something for V-day but can't come up with anything original. Oh well! Love what you did!
ReplyDeleteI love your heart garlands! So pretty and festive. I like to decorate for Valentines too but my stash is severely lacking.
