Every holiday out come the coordinating decorations. My Valentine's Day stuff though is very sad and skimpy. Not only do I have very little, but finding Valentine's decorations (especially around these parts) is near impossible. Sure, there are some. Mostly cheap and ugly ones. Not at all what I have invisioned. I mean, if I'm going to spend the money, it better be worth it.
I finally decided to look to my favorite, trusty, pinterest for some cute (and fairly cheap) ideas. I pinned this cute heart wreath over a year ago, and knew it was what I wanted. We don't have craft stores, so I ordered off hobby lobby's website and used a coupon. Grand total spent was under 11 bucks. Can't beat that and better and cuter than anything I found in stores! The instructions I followed were from the Idea Room, and were so simple. Just the kind of craft I can handle.
Next, I knew I wanted a banner. I had seen several different ideas for painting burlap on pinterest, and so I thought I'd try it out. Nobody had one just like the one I made though, I just combined several ideas. It was also a very cheap and easy project that I (a virtual crafting dummy) could knock out in one afternoon.
I love how my stuff came out, and have had lots of compliments too. Trevor rolls his eyes each time I "get my craft on," but he's a man....what do you expect? At least he never stops me!
