Hello!
I finally have something to post about so I'm back. We have been battling the flu here first M and then Jacob. Ugh, I'm sure hoping that I don't get it! I got cabin fever this weekend and decided to redo the mantel. I did something after Christmas and I never really loved it. I haven't decorated for Valentine's Day since I was in elementary school but I thought it would be fun and bonus....I didn't spend a dime. See, that craft closet does pay off! ;)
I made the burlap bunting and tissue paper tassels, the baby food jar candles were leftovers from M's first birthday, the Love print I won from a blog giveaway and never found a place for, the birdie I had and the large frame I bought for $6 at a thrift store a few weeks ago and the intended project fell through.
The bunting is just burlap with tissue paper hearts modge-podged on. I made the tassels following these instructions and both only took around 30 minutes.
The heart chain is a pinterest find, which is so basic it's silly. So there you have it! My free festive Valentine's Day mantel.
Do you decorate for small holidays?

Love the little burlap bunting! I have not decorated at all for valentines this year but I guess there is still time to throw something together, you are giving me inspiration:)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm not a Valentine's decorator either but it's kinda fun to have it up and the bunting is definitely my fav part! :)
DeleteI have plans to decorate for Easter this weekend using lots of things I already have. Ceramic bunnies, fake eggs, etc. I want to be better about decorating for small holidays since I have a toddler. Hope you all are feeling well. We had a cold knock us all out multiple times since Christmas. It's not fun.
ReplyDeleteWe have been so sick. I can't wait for spring!
