Hand-Made Holiday: Valentine’s Garland & Decorating
I am very, very behind on Valentine’s decorating, but Conor and I are having fun making this boy household a little pink and red for the upcoming holiday.
We added model magic heart ornaments that we made at Christmas to the mantel:
And have been enjoying these gorgeous pink Gerbera Daisies on the coffee table:
The other day we made sweet paper and twine garlands out of items we had around the house.
Materials:
Card Stock
Heart Puncher
Hole Puncher
Twine
Stickers
Fabric Scraps
We had most of the above around the house:
First you’ll want to measure out the twine and figure out how long you need and punch out your hearts:

This may be harder for younger hands so you may need to help them with this. Then I had Conor choose heart stickers and we stuck them on and threaded them onto the twine:
In our entry way we kept it just pink hearts:
But we added some fabric scraps from the fabric scrap garlands we made over Christmas and thought it added a softness to the paper:
It is the simple things and the crafts that make Valentine’s special for me.
Very cute 🙂 I am not a big valentine decorator but I did a little 🙂
I know me neither. Just wanted to do something little.
