Valentine’s Day Ribbon Wreath and Paper Clip Hearts

January 25, 2013

BLOGGER CONFESSION: After I finally got all my Christmas decorations taken down, packed up, and put away for the year, I had absolutely no desire to decorate for Valentine’s Day. NONE. I started seeing everyone’s adorable pink and red mantels and frilly, lacy pillows and romantic sayings plastered all over everything…  I was just finally enjoying a clean, non-cluttered house and had no desire to re-decorate again only to be taken down in just a few weeks! Besides, red isn’t my color.

BLOGGER REALITY: But the more and more I saw all the incredibly cute Valentine’s Day projects, the more I desired to create something to celebrate this day of love! I was suddenly knee-deep in red twine and doilies and pink paper and glitter! Even when we’re uninspired, we don’t have to look far to spark our creativity. And you know I love sharing inspiration with you!
So instead of decorating the whole house with hearts and Cupid, I gave a simple update to a project I made before Christmas. Do you remember my Ribbon Wreath?
I created this fluffy, white ribbon wreath and decorated it for Christmas with a silver ornament hanging in the center.
After Christmas, I took the ornament off the wreath and tried to brainstorm how I would dress the wreath up next….
Can you see where I’m going with this?
A Valentine’s Day ribbon wreath!
I simply glued pink paper behind a doily and used my letter stamps to add “Be Mine” to the center. For a cute little touch, I bent a small, red paper clip into a heart shape to attach the doily to the wreath.
Just one bend in the paper clip, and now you have an adorable little addition to your love notes!
It was super easy to add my little Valentine’s craft to the wreath… I just flipped the wreath over, tied red baker’s twine to the wire wreath form, and clipped my doily on the twine.
And once the next holiday rolls around, it will be a cinch to change it out! Just flip it over and untie the twine! That’s my kind of decorating : )

Now I feel better that I’ve at least done something for Valentine’s Day. Who knows… maybe the crafty love bug will bite me again : )

Do YOU decorate for Valentine’s Day? A lot or a little? I’d love to hear from you!

    Yeah, I didn’t really want to put up any valentine’s stuff this year. But then I was digging through the box looking for a photo prop and I did pull out 3 little vases with felt roses and one small heart wreath…but that’s it! No crazy decorating going on here. I love that you bent the paperclips to look like hearts!!! Adorable!
