Theme: Valentine's Day

It’s not my favorite holiday, but I do like all the hearts and candy that come along with it. Of course, I have to have some holiday decorations, so…as promised, here are a couple of my most recent completed crafting projects:


I bought twine, burlap, clothespins, and felt for this project. It was ridiculously cheap and easy to make, and it definitely added a little Valentine’s Day flair to my living room.


This one was a little more time consuming but still very cost effective. I bought a wreath in the floral department and wrapped it in yarn. This was the time consuming part…it took me about four days to complete it because my hand would start cramping from having to hold and wrap the entire pound (yes, I bought the pound…not sure why!) of yarn through the wreath repeatedly. Then I cut circles out of felt and began cutting in a spiral around the edge of the circle. I then wound it around and used hot glue to hold the rosette together. The rosettes were extremely easy to make and connect to the wreath. I finished it off with some ribbon at the top. I now have a festive door wreath that cost under $10, and I got to have fun making it myself.
