Simple Valentine’s Day Crafts and Home Decor Lookbook

Floral bouquets, chocolates, hearts…and if you have a kid like I do, silly little Valentine’s Day favors for all those school friends, are a few of the things that make Valentine’s day so wonderful. It’s a holiday that I truly love. Even though it’s not actually a true holiday 😉

Hello friends! Valentine’s Day is almost here so let’s take a look at a few simple decorations that you can easily put together for your home or anywhere else that could use some last minute Valentine’s day cheer.

As always, I’m using items that I already had on hand and things that you can easily find in dollar stores, crafting stores or even sections in department stores with crafting and party supplies.

I don’t think I could ever do any decorating around my house without a few faux flowers scattered around here and there. I know faux flowers may not work for everyone but for a black thumb girl like me, faux flowers are an almost perfect alternative to real flowers.

For a very subtle Valentines Day floral decoration I used these pink faux flowers and a light pink satin ribbon to tie three bows onto my vase and although this is so simple and quick to put together I find it so so pretty!

Valentine’s Day always calls for atleast a few roses and these red faux roses have been a favorite of mine for a few years now. I love bringing them out every year and creating a centerpiece with them.

This came together so quickly with three mason jars, a couple of red roses in each jar, a white flower and smaller yellow filler flowers to finish off.

Can that red on those roses be anymore beautiful?

A couple of areas in our bedroom…

This pink floral arrangement came together with four large faux pink peonies that I’ve had for a few years now. Then I simply taped on some glittery heart confetti’s all through out the round vase.

I usually keep things very simple for holiday decorations just because I know they won’t be out for a long time but of course if you want a more permanent or stronger hold you can add embellishments with hot glue.

So I can’t take credit for this three heart decoration on my kitchen wall. It’s something I picked up years ago at a random shop while on vacation with my husband. I always use it for Valentine’s Day and never really have to do much to it other than maybe add an extra bow like I did here on the command hook that it’s hanging off of. It’s made of faux berries, red beads and organza red ribbon holding it all together.

Are you like me and decorate with items you’ve had forever?

The simplest craft ever…cardstock, ribbon, and heart stickers for a simple handmade sign on the kitchen countertop.

My kitchen hutch always gets a sprinkle of holiday decor.

A pink mug, pink bowl and a few extra fun Valentine’s Day knick knacks come together for this area and give it just a bit of Valentine’s decor for my kitchen.

This one may just be my favorite.

A strand of tiny adhesive rhinestones and a red rhinestone heart on a chubby white candle.

Here I’m taking a fuzzy heart pick, a small votive that I added a small red heart sticker to and filled it with a very long strand of crafting pearls.

I hope you enjoyed this Valentine’s Day lookbook of my home. Check out my foam rose wreath as well as this post for more crafts and decorations great for Valentine’s Day.

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

DIY Foam Rose Valentine’s Day Wreath

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a wreath that I recently made for Valentine’s Day using pink foam roses. I’ve never used foam flowers of any kind for crafting but I saw these at my dollar store when I was looking through the craft section and thought their beautiful pink color was so pretty so I grabbed a couple of bags. I was actually looking for faux flowers to make a Valentine’s wreath but couldn’t find anything that I thought would work so I thought why not give these foam roses a try in place of faux flowers.

I will say, this was a fairly easy craft to do but a bit time consuming. Gluing on the roses one by one did take some patience on my part but the end result was worth it! So you may want to keep that in mind if you try this DIY at home as well as the size of your wreath because of course, the larger the wreath the more foam roses you will have to glue on.

Let’s get to it!

DIY Foam Rose Valentine’s Day Wreath

I started my wreath by making a frame for it out of poster board but you can also use a heart shaped wire frame or even a wooden base instead.

I shared a step by step tutorial here where I made a sturdier version of this frame, but for this wreath I am keeping it very simple…

I traced a heart onto my poster board, using a a large red paper heart that I already had in my crafting collection but you can free style this if you are good at drawing hearts…

Then I cut my heart out, added some twine for hanging (that you can see below) and now I’m ready to start gluing on my foam roses.

Now, I had originally wanted to fill the entire heart with my roses but unfortunately it turned out that I didn’t have enough roses! I measured everything before starting and must have miscounted somewhere (face/palm moment) so if you try this DIY out for yourself please make note to buy plenty of foam roses, unlike me 🙂

I picked up two bags of roses which had about eighteen in each bag and my heart measures 9 by 10 inches so I would say about eighty foam roses, give or take, would have been enough to fill the entire heart.

Since I didn’t have enough roses, I went ahead and cut out the center of my frame with both a scissor and crafting knife and then finished gluing on my roses with hot glue. As I mentioned earlier, this was overall an easy craft to do aside from being time consuming when it came to hot gluing on all the roses. So patience, patience, patience (and maybe a snack) is what it will take while you sit and glue on your flowers.

After that, I made a bow with white ribbon, hot glued that on and added a few small decorative hearts in the middle of that bow.

The last step before finishing my wreath was filling in a few areas where my white frame was showing through.

To do this, I took a pink faux flower and cut up the petals into small pieces to fill in any area where I could see the white frame.

And now I have a beautiful pink rose wreath perfect for Valentine’s Day.

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

Valentine’s Day Crafts and Home Decor Lookbook

Soon it will be Valentine’s Day, that means it’s the perfect time to talk about love….Crafting love that is!

Ok, ok I know that’s not exactly the love that Valentine’s Day is all about but hey, it’s my blog and I can write about that if I want to…hehe.

I really enjoy the time I spend on crafting. There’s so much to love about it! When I start digging through all of my supplies and start creating things I truly feel as if I turn into a little girl again. My ribbons, flowers, rhinestones, colorful knickknacks and the many other crafty things I have can keep me busy forever. Sadly though, as a mom, I seem to never have enough time for any of that. Boohoo…

My daughter is 7 now and she still needs a lot of my attention. I’m there to help her with meals, getting homework done, tidy up toys, and many other things.

When I finally have some free time to do some crafting I’m oh so happy. But you know what? As much as I love crafting its not always all fun and games. Crafting, decorating, creating, even writing for blog posts takes practice and a lot of effort, for me at least. So I get frustrated and overwhelmed at times. And I don’t know about you (if you are a craft lover also, that is) but when I get going with crafting my mind starts coming up with a million different ideas and it doesn’t always know when to stop. Boohoo to that too 🙂

But I’ve realized that no matter the frustration or lack of time to work on my many projects, it still is all worth it. It makes me smile and gives me a sense of accomplishment when I’m finally done.

If you are a crafter I hope it gives you the same joy that it gives me.

I hope you enjoy this Valentine’s Day lookbook!

Pink adhesive rhinestones, white rocks and marbles decorate a long skinny vase for three sparkly heart picks.

I’ve had these picks for a couple of years now and love them! I found them at Walmart and they’ve really held up with all their glitter.

I’ve kept out a few of my Christmas decorations that I thought worked as winter decor also and thought it would combine nicely here with my vase and cute Valentine’s Day birdie.

White faux roses, red roses and red poppy seeds…

(Both red and white roses are from my local dollar store and the poppy seeds are from Walmart)

This cute little pink arrangement has faux gerber daisies and cherry blossoms mixed up with a pink heart pick matching the flowers perfectly.

The mason jar is filled with pink grass filling, you know, like the stuff we use to fill Easter baskets 😉

I shared a DIY poster board wreath frame a few months ago that you can go back and see here if you’d like. This heart shaped wreath has the same poster board base (minus the packing tape) that I then wrapped with some old pink fabric. I added the packing tape with my original poster board wreath to give it support for the heavier decorations that I was adding to it but this base didn’t need that extra support for the light weight decorations I used.

As for how I attached the fabric (which is actually an old pink shirt) I started by cutting the shirt into long pieces then wrapped them around my base and attached them using these dots You can also use a hot glue gun if you prefer but I try to avoid using a glue gun whenever possible so I gave these a try instead and they worked out great! I should mention that the dots were kind of big for this project so I ended up cutting them into small pieces.

I filled this next vase with a few plastic hearts left over from a set of party favors that I ordered last year for my daughters classmates 🙂 They are not available anymore but any hearts or decorative heart shaped knickknacks would probably do here as well.

This next one is something that I made for my daughters bedroom door. I simply cut out large hearts from construction paper and decorated them with dollies and stickers from Target.

I’m usually not great at cutting out perfectly shaped hearts so I folded the paper in half and then cut out half of a heart so as to get an even sized heart on both sides when I opened my paper.

These two vases came from Crate and Barrel years ago but you can find similar vases on Amazon.

I simply decorated them with stickers and a strand of curling ribbon at the base of my vases.

(I clearly like stickers)

Lastly, I used this beer bottle back in the fall and liked it so much that I ended up keeping it around to re-use. Now I’m using it here with this sparkly red heart pick, another Walmart purchase from a couple of years ago.

The bottle has sisal twine wrapped around it and then layered with lace burlap and pink gingham ribbon.

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!

DIY Valentine’s Day Rocks

DIY Valentine’s Day Rocks

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing a fun and easy DIY to decorate or gift for Valentine’s Day.

I’m taking rocks and dressing them up with stickers and glue glitter to create a simple decoration that honestly can be used for almost any holiday. You can switch out the heart shaped stickers for any other sticker and it would work just as lovely.

DIY Valentine’s Day Rocks

I started by picking out a few rocks from my small rock collection (rocks I’ve collected through out the years from beaches or purchased for decorations)

and I covered the top part with a layer of glitter glue…

Then I used a number of different heart shaped stickers for a fun and colorful Valentine’s day decoration.

(Link to red and green heart stickers here)

FYI: I waited for my glue to dry before adding the stickers but they gave me a hard time sticking so it probably would have worked better to add them while the glue was still wet. I did go ahead and use a glue stick to help them stay on and that worked out great.

And that’s it for this one!

Sending happy, safe, and healthy vibes your way. May God bless you and your family today and every beautiful day to come!
