Valentines Day is just around the corner, and whether you celebrate or not, I
enjoy crafting and decorating for seasonal occasions. Mr DIY and I usually
don't do much for the day of love, unless we go out to lunch. We like to avoid
the crowds in the evenings.
I put together a collection of 20 of my very favorite thrifty and easy
Valentines Day projects that you can make today! Click on the links below for
the complete tutorial and more pictures of how I've decorated with each item
in my home.

1. Tattered Scrap Fabric Heart Wreath

charming!

6. Decorate a Vintage Valentines Tree
If your Christmas tree is still up, why not add a few heart ornaments, ribbon

7. Simple Valentines Day Pocket Heart Garland
After making some
lavender sachets, and a
DIY faux feedsack advent, I was left with several of these
inexpensive muslin bags. Stamping hearts onto them was easy, and I turned them into a darling pocket
garland that can hold Valentines or candy in less than 10 minutes.
