Valentine's Day Decorations

I don't have any Valentine's Day decorations.

New Beginnings just happened to be a red with white polka dot theme

and so the girls and I took an afternoon to do double duty - 

Valentine's decor that we could use for New Beginnings.

First, the one and only decoration - a heart wreath.

I added a new black and white ribbon and hung

it off-centered on the front door.  Love it!  

Love off-centered hearts!

Next....

Tall topiaries.

I bought white hydrangea balls, 2 dowels, 

and 4 white pots on clearance for $2 each.

I cut the dowels into 4 equal pieces, stuck 

each in styrofoam in the pot, painted them red,

stuck a hydrangea ball on top.

I then took apart a red rose ball.  I pulled each rose off and stuck it

into the hydrangea ball to create polka dots.  

I added a bow under the ball and bright green moss around the base 

and wahlah....

Next....

A low daisy topiary that sits on a glass vase.

I bought an 8" styrofoam ball, 30 silk gerber

daisies, about 10 small white silk flowers,

and I used more red roses from the red rose ball

and pieces of white hydrangea from a leftover

hydrangea ball.

I sat the ball on top of my vase, knowing that I wouldn't

 be covering any part of the ball that was inside 

the vase.  I cut the daisies leaving only one inch of 

stem under the flower and poked them into the 

ball covering it evenly.  

I filled in any gaps with the white flowers

 and white hydrangea creating a polka dot 

look and then filled in any leftover gaps 

with the small red roses.

To cover the uncovered ball in the vase, 

I wrapped the top of the vase with wide 

ribbon and tied a big bow.

Next....

Framed I Love You cards.

I bought an 8 x 10 frame, wrapped the glass in burlap,

and hot-glued I Love You notes on top of them.

The notes come from "Paper Source", one of my favorite

stores and say, "I love you" in about 40 languages.

I chose Chinese, English, Jordanian, Morse Code and

Text.

I <3 burlap!

       

Next....

Two easy things.

4 rose covered hearts in a glass jar.

Vinyl word "love" on a glass block with

a ribbon around it.

Here they are.

I have Valentine's decorations now

and New Beginnings was super cute!
