Last year was the first time I ever decorated for Valentine's Day thanks to pinterest, and I plan on doing in now each year.
I saw a lot of cute banner ideas on pinterest (like this) and put a few of them together to make this one. It was really pretty easy and quick. The only part I don't like is cutting the burlap because it frays a lot!
First I cut out my banner pieces from burlap. Then I cut out my hearts and glued them on with a glue gun. I used my sewing machine to sew the pendents onto a piece of twine. That is it!
The other things were pretty easy too, but a little more time consuming. The vase on the right was a vase that didn't match anything in our house so I cut an old text book into squares and modge podged it to the vase.
I took a styrofoam ball and glued candy hearts around it and then stuck a dowel rod through the bottom, filled a bucket from the Target dollar spot with sand and stuck it in.
The red rose ball is a styrofoam ball covered in tissue paper roses:
1. Cut a piece about three to four inches long and fold it in half as you go.
2. Start twisting your streamer into a little circle to form a rose bud.
3. Keep twisting until you use all your piece. Put a little dot of glue to hold it down. Put a larger circle of glue on your styrofoam ball and place the flower on top.
4. Keep going until the whole ball is covered.
I just filled a mason jar with candy hearts and put the flower ball on top.
and the nice thing is I will use all of these each year!
