Last week I started a couple of Valentine projects to spiffy up the house for February.
Here's a super fast & easy Valentine centerpiece that you can whip up in under an hour!
All you need is a large cylinder vase, 3 paper doilies, paper hearts (I cut mine with my Cricut from some pretty scrapbook papers), a sewing machine, thread, & some baker's twine.
I started by laying out the paper doilies & arranging the hearts.
Then, I simply fed them through the sewing machine using a wide zigzag stitch.
I wrapped it around my vase & secured it with some turquoise baker's twine.
I added my trusty battery operated pillar candle.
Done!
(At night.)
I also cut some extra hearts & put them in my seasonal wreath. (You can see more seasons here & here.)
It's official: The Valentine's decorating has begun!
Have you started decorating for Valentine's Day? What kind of decor do you enjoy?
