Easy Valentine Day Decor

I must admit, while I love all the warm fuzzies of Valentine's Day, I just don't do much in the decor department. This year I had the flu from Christmas until late January so the Christmas decor did not even come completely down until the end of January. I than was trying to decorate for winter, still not feeling 100% and now Valentine's Day? Ugggg. I decided to go minimal with the decor. I had made this wreath while I was sick and hung it above the fireplace. Love the look of it but when I found this cute banner to download, I decided to add it. Its just stuck on with stick pins!

 Found this cute pillow cover at dear Lilly and added it to a chair!



 I also had these jars I made years ago.  I added some heart garland, old pics of my kids and in one a print out. I had these chalkboard tags I made over the holidays so I added one to each of the lids. The heart tag is just a heart I cute from thick cardboard, painted black and outlined wtih chalk.  Super easy Valentine decor!



Hope your Valentines day is a wonderful one!! XOXOXOXOX

Copy Cat Anthropologie Tufted Wool Wreath DIY

When I fist saw this wreath from Anthropologie, I swooned. It was beautiful, but when I saw the price I almost fainted. Well over $100.00 for a wreath. Nope, nada, not going to happen! After lots of searching on the web, taking ideas from different blogs I came up with direction for making my own wreath for under $20 bucks!  Can I get an Amen?




These are the supplies needed:
yarn - I used 2 of Lion Brand, straw wreath  ( keep plastic on), hot glue, small pompom maker and sharp pointed scissors






Follow the directions on making pompoms and make lots. I think I made about 125-150.  Here are a few:

Once you think you have enough start gluing them on.



Once it was all done I added some burlap ribbon and hung it on my mirror above the fireplace. This is an easy project to work on while watching tv.




So for under 20 bucks in supplies I think it came out pretty good, what do you think?
