Belated DIY Valentine's Day Decorations


This is a belated post about last minute Valentine's Day Decor that I've been working on since being home. Apparently my goal is to keep HL in business while I'm out on leave.

I used several Pinterest inspirations to create some LOVE-ly things to put up around the house. Most of them didn't get done in time for the day, but I'll be able to add them to my Valentine's Decor box for next year. 

Inspiration: 
My Version: 

Using 4 different patterns in red and pink, I cut out heart shapes using pinking shears. I stitched them together leaving a small hole so I could stuff with batting. They are attached to the jute with hot glue 12" apart. I'll have to play around with how to hang them on the stair next year, but I think it turned out pretty cute. 

Inspiration: 
My Version: 
I pretty much copied the inspiration photo except I used jute instead of yarn(noticing a jute theme?). It fits the space better than my previous wreath, which I'll just use in a different area next year. 

Inspiration: 
My Version: 
Using leftover felt, I cut out more hearts bc I felt like my burlap was too see-thru to paint both sides. I will add the shamrocks once I get some green felt and may try a reversible painted version if I find thicker burlap or double the pennants by sewing 2 pieces together. 

Inspiration: 
My Version:
I painted these wooden letters(came 2 to a pack) with plans to hang but I am not in love with the letter font so I'm not sure I'll use this next yr. 

And lastly:

Thinking of re-painting the wood part. Maybe white, gray, or black...thoughts?
