I'm not one to decorate the house for Valentine's Day but I thought I'd try a simple garland. I'm not a fan of the color red in my decor {unless it's Christmas} so I chose light pink and hot pink.
I thought I'd hang it somewhere other than the mantel.
I thought it turned out really cute ;)
I ran some long twine through the hole-punched hearts and then used a tiny clothespin to hold it in place.
I found these cute pre-cut hearts from Michael's and cute pink trim!
I started with a dab of hot glue on the back and wrapped the trim around about 3 times. You might need to add some hot glue to some areas to keep it all in place.
Here it is hung in another area of my home. This is in the foyer with some leftover tissue pompoms from my baby's girl's birthday party.
Notice who else got in the shot??
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! xoxo

Your garland is very cute! But I also had to comment on your diamond ring too, because I adore diamonds. Your ring is smokin' hot.
ReplyDeleteI also made a heart garland but it is very non-traditional and it so went up on my mantle. I posted it on my blog this week.
haha, thanks Stacy! My hubby had it designed by copying a Tiffany design.
DeleteI'm going to check out your heart garland now!
