The steps below follow the order of the work for this holidays project.
Just surfing for valentine decor options, although I don’t have time to decorate our house, because then I would have to clean it up after…… I know I am such a slacker. But in my defense cleaning up decorations and week old babies don’t really live congruently in my house, so instead I will just embrace the fact the it is fun to look, and save great options, that I can use another year!
(see last years inspiration post for more great options, or look at our valentine’s day week from last year)

Yarn Pom-Pom Flowers
Wrap yarn around a small square of cardboard. Slide off and tie bundle in center. Cut loops and fluff out. Add a dab of hot glue to the end of a thin twig and insert into each pom-pom’s center. Hold in place until the glue dries (about 10 seconds) and arrange. Be careful not to burn your fingers!!

Cherry Blossom Branches
Cherry blossoms- tissue paper versions can last all spring. Layer a sheet of dark pink paper atop light pink paper. Snip out a five-petal flower that’s 2 to 4 inches in circumference. Once cut, reposition the dark pink daisy so the petals won’t align with the light pink ones. Twist the center bottom of the flower, wrap with a 3-inch length of floral wire, and hot-glue onto a bare branch. Repeat, varying sizes of flowers so blossoms look realistic.

Tissue Paper Wreath option
To make, cut a large heart from card stock paper. Shred red, pink and white tissue paper and crumple up the pieces into little rosettes. Then use a glue gun to stick them onto the heart. Attach a ribbon to the back and hang your heart on your door.
