Mini Valentines Garlands

Deck the Tree with Hearts and Pom Poms!

Do you recognize it? The tree? It's my burlap and drop cloth tree that I just couldn't bear to put away after Christmas because I love it so much!

Seriously, have you ever seen anything so cute?

Okay, I may be a little biased, but it did get an entry into the online Christmas 2013 Decorating Guide in Decorating Life (pg.25 in case you're wondering). How cool is that? I didn't even enter :)

Anyway, all that to say...

In case you didn't already notice...

I decorated the tree for Valentines!!

I made the sweetest little garlands for this tree and my pleated drop cloth tree. And the best part? They were easy peasy!

Here's how I did it...

I took my red yarn and laid it out. And then I simply hot glued pink and red pom poms, chipboard hearts and tiny crocheted flowers to it.

Once the glue had dried, I just lightly wrapped the garland around my tree.

Did you spot the tiny vial of 'Love Potion'? I added one of those too!

For my other tree, I just grabbed some wooden balls and spools, threaded them onto my yarn, and knotted them in place.

All of these supplies can be found at any craft store. I happened to already have them in my stash, so it was a freebie craft for me :) Love those!

The trees add a nice pop of color to my mantle for Valentines.

Oh, and there just might be a Valentines wreath and a burlap heart tutorial coming up, hint hint :)

I've been a busy girl!
