3 Simple Valentine’s Day Decorations (Perfect For a Small Table or Countertop)

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing 3 simple Valentine’s Day decorations that are perfect for small tables or kitchen countertops.

They can be recreated with things you may already have at home or inexpensive items you can find at dollar stores.

Change out the soft pink shades that I’m using for reds or even darker pinks for a Valentine’s Day decoration customized to your own liking!

Ok let’s get to it!

3 Simple Valentine’s Day Decorations (Perfect For a Small Table or Countertop)

This first Valentine’s Day decoration would look lovely in any small kitchen area.

For my supplies, I used a small flower arrangement I already had on hand, pink ribbon, a pink heart rhinestone, a small white gravy boat, and some sticky dots.

I’ve had this tiny flower arrangement for a few years now and decided to use it for Valentine’s Day by placing it inside a white gravy boat that I’ve also had forever.

To recreate something like this I would suggest using a small round vase or votive, fill it with white tissue paper, and then if you don’t have a small arrangement like I do you can use faux flowers and some floral foam in your vase to hold your flowers upright.

Wrap ribbon around the vase, hold it in place with glue dots or a glue gun. Then add a rhinestone or other pretty embellishments to the ribbon.

Wine glasses are so pretty for decorating.

Supplies used here are felt stickers, pink faux flowers, a wire cutter for my flowers, and a wine glass.

I simply scattered felt pink heart stickers around my wine glass, cut my flower stems all down to the same size and filled my glass with them.

I love keeping around recycled jars for decorating and organizing. I probably keep around way too many honestly but sometimes I just can’t help it 🙂

My supplies for this piece are recycled jars, pink basket filling, twine, heart shaped rhinestones, tea lights, pink ribbon, and glue dots.

I filled my jars with layers of pink basket filling (like what we use for Easter baskets) and twine then topped that with small battery operated tea lights.

On one jar, I tied a pink bow and for the smaller one I added rhinestones.

Hope you enjoyed these 3 Valentine’s Day Decoration ideas!

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!

Valentine’s Day Crafts and Home Decor 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 Pink Faux Floral Valentine’s Day Centerpiece

I feel as if Valentine’s Day has become such a cute and fun holiday, not that it’s considered a holiday, but you know… it’s a special day many of us like to celebrate every year. There’s adorable hearts everywhere, pretty shades of pink and red, xoxo messages everywhere, cute stuffed animals. It’s all really cute.

Today I’m sharing a pink floral arrangement great for Valentine’s Day. It probably falls under that fun Valentine’s Day vibe I’m talking about with its red and white gingham ribbon and a bubblegum pink shade of flowers. I brought it together with things I already had on hand and tried to keep it simple as I do with many of my decoration’s.

Ok, let’s get started….

DIY Pink Faux Floral Valentine’s Day Centerpiece

I started with:

an old coffee container, lace burlap, tape and scissors.

First, I removed the label from my container.

I usually remove labels by soaking jars in hot soapy water, or sometimes I use this adhesive remover. It’s a pain using it though because I find that I really have to rub the label adhesive a lot to get it all off so hot soapy water is my usual label removing method.

FYI: If you don’t like fighting with that sticky residue that is sometimes left behind when removing labels, consider placing your arrangement in an area where the sticky side is facing a wall.

That adhesive is always such a pain to remove!

To wrap my ribbon onto the container I decided to use super hold scotch tape. This is because I wanted something with a little stronger hold than regular tape, but you can also use a hot glue gun.

What’s nice about using tape is that it’s easier to remove once you’re done decorating with your arrangement. But a hot glue gun will have a stronger hold.

I used 3 stripes of tape to hold down one end of the ribbon…

and then I ended up “ looping” a couple of pieces of tape for the second end of ribbon and placing them underneath the ribbon so that the tape wouldn’t show.

Basically, creating a little tube with my pieces of tape….hope that makes sense 🙂

To keep my flowers in place I needed to make a tape grid that I created with regular tape (not super hold)

I cut my stripes of tape in half so that they wouldn’t be too wide (you can also use clear floral tape if you prefer)

Normally I don’t bother using a grid, but this time around my flowers just wouldn’t stay in place.

Luckily this really made all the difference.

For my flowers, I used seven pink faux florals.

I started adding in my flowers, in no particular order and continued moving them around until the bouquet looked good.

It wasn’t easy getting the flowers to look the way I was hoping they would (one cohesive pink bunch) but one thing that really helped was to fluff out all of the flower petals.

Doing that made the flowers appear much larger and fill in the gaps better.

My container needed something else aside from the lacey burlap so I ended up collecting a few heart shaped rhinestones and stickers from my craft supply and played around with them, checking which would work best with the burlap.

And here’s what I decided to use…

A couple of pink and red felt stickers right in the center of my old coffee container and then finishing off with red and white gingham ribbon that I love and use all the time.

And just like that my love for coffee and flowers come together. I never thought I would see the 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 Centerpiece – Using Items I Already Have

Valentine’s Day Centerpiece – Using Items I Already Have

I love faux flowers.

They take up a lot of my (very little) mommy free time.

I have to admit though, it’s a fairly new love of mine.

So I figured, what better time than Valentine’s Day to write a bit about this new (ish) love of mine…

I made a spring centerpiece a couple of years ago after taking a trip to the Dollar Tree and there they were, a bush of pretty pink roses. I couldn’t resist. Normally I’d walk right by that area full of faux flowers and never give it a second look but this time around, those roses were calling me! I didn’t hesitate to grab them and figured why not see what I can make and possibly share it on this blog…

A few days later I picked up a couple of yellow and white roses at another dollar store and after that, I eventually made what I considered to be “a unique” spring centerpiece. (Ok don’t laugh, but it was basically a bouquet on a table)

After that, I was hooked!

I originally started this blog to mainly write about my love of organizing (or semi organizing I should say) but once I made that spring centerpiece I switched my attention almost completely to faux floral centerpieces.

This “love” for faux floral centerpieces has not come naturally to me though!

I seem to always picture the finished arrangement in my head (resembling something you’d see in a magazine) but when I actually start bringing it all together, it’s usually a hot mess.

So I really have to push myself when I’m working on a new centerpiece. Many times, these centerpieces involve days of my small dining table covered with flowers, vases, and ribbon everywhere. I’ll walk by that table throughout the day and almost always feel frustrated! It’s rare when I get it right the first time I try putting something together, no matter how simple or complex I try to make them.

So why do I keep trying and even consider this something that I love? Because the finishing product always brings days if not weeks of smiles to my face! And honestly, I think there are certain little hobbies, skills, and talents that our good Lord up above has gifted us with! Hobbies that really bring us joy if we stick with them and push ourselves to learn about them. This one without a doubt is one of those!

I enjoy every piece that I manage to create and I rarely ever am in a rush to change it out whenever a new holiday or season comes around.

That’s probably why I always end up showing these centerpieces on my blog very (VERY) late compared to how early I see other blog posts or videos for seasonal decor going up. (*cough* like today’s post *cough* a few days before Valentine’s day *cough*)

Ok well, let me stop for now…Valentine’s day is right around the corner after all. Let me jump into sharing my simple centerpiece that came together just like many of my others have in the past, with items I already had at home.

Hope you enjoy it!

Valentine’s Day Centerpiece – Using Items I Already Have

I start with an old sugar bowl and a few stickers that I had from last years Valentine’s Day (yep, that’s the kid in me coming out to play)

(These stickers are great for something temporary like this Valentine’s Day centerpiece. They peel on and off very easily without leaving a mess behind. I actually moved them around multiple times before finishing)

(Sugar bowl also used here and here)

Then I grabbed my flowers and a wire cutter and cut the stems down to fit my sugar bowl.

As you can probably see in the picture, I had to cut off a good amount of the stem and make the flowers pretty short. That’s because I’m working with a very small bowl.

I picked these pink peonies (from Michaels) and peach peonies (from Ikea) to work with but so many other shades would work here too! I’m thinking classic red or white with red sticker hearts, or even all pink flowers and stickers.

(flowers also used here and here)

Drop those into my sugar bowl.

I kept the peach flowers all together on one side and then did the same for the pink flowers.

Next up, a small white plate and a few small red roses that I’ve had for years…

come together like this…

then join my sweet little sugar bowl that’s all dressed up in gold sticker hearts…

and off to our table it goes!

Pick a snowy New York day to photograph this little gal and on to my blog she goes…

ok friends, thanks for stopping by!
