I did some major crafting last year for Valentine's Day so this year I decided to scale it back a bit. I did make a couple of new items though and thought I'd share them here.
Kraft letters with Mod Podged scrapbook paper and craft paint:
These cuties look great on my mantle - a couple of things I think I'd do differently next time though - #1. pick brighter papers. The rest of my mantle has bright red and these are a bit muted in color in comparison. #2. NO GLITTERED PAPERS! Duh?! The "O" and "E" have the cutest paper - it's a pale pink with a bronze glitter polka dot pattern but seriously - right up until I was going to brush on the Mod Podge did I realize that the glitter was just going to smear everywhere.... and it totally did. Oops! They still look great from far away though!
My second craft was making a Valentine's wreath for my front door.
I LOVE how this turned out - I tried to use yarn I already had on hand but it ended up a bit too mismatched for me (ivory, red/marroon and pink) so I got rid of the red and purchased some more candy pink. I LOVE the shabby flowers and mother of pearl buttons on here!!!
