Belated Valentine's day

In addition to my tree, I made a few more Valentine crafts.  The cost was about $1 for the scrapbook paper from Target's dollar spot.  Everything else I had on hand!

Valentine's Tree

I've never been one to decorate for holidays other than Christmas. This year, however, I seem to have this major desire to decorate for every holiday. This afternoon, I whipped together this little bad boy. It only took me one naptime and one trip to the dollar store. Now that's my kind of craft!

 

I had a little tree that my MIL used at our wedding luncheon. I've kept it for 4 years, never knowing what to do with it, but not wanting to throw it away. I decided it would make the perfect little Valentine's tree! I found some darling little wood shapes at Michael's for $.50. Add a little ribbon and felt (to hide where the ribbon is hot glued on). Perfect!

But it still seemed like it needed more. I remembered some darling little heart picks from the dollar store that I would not let myself buy until I had a specific use for them. I knew they'd be perfect. I pulled the sticks out and used a tiny bit of craft wire to make a loop. With the hearts being foam, it was super easy to stick the ends of the wire all the way in.

I love how it tuned out!! I also love that it only took about 30 minutes total. Yea!

Please excuse the lackluster photography - I'm trying, I really am!
