There has been a lot of talk about Valentine's Day around here. I might have a new trick or two up my sleeve, but mostly I'll be recycling ideas from last year's good stuff. Here's a quick peek back in time.Above:

Left: newspaper bunting
Center: flower bouquets and heart buttons
Right: delicate newspaper garland
Left: woven heartsCenter: growing love (planting paper whites or grass in recycled cans)
Right: lavender heart on a string
Edible hearts...Left: Valentine pretzels
Right: ice cream heart cake
Fresh idea coming as soon as we finish our next cereal box! (We're not big cereal eaters, so this is taking longer than I thought.)
And here are some of my new faves from around the web:
paper pulp hearts
The Long Thread's recycled Valentines
burlap heart wreath
printable goody bags

love all the red and white!
ReplyDeleteyour skirt button idea makes me think how fun it would be to sew buttons onto curtains and be able to switch out seasonal little bits.
Oh yes, it's getting to be that time again isn't it? Thanks for the inspiration and ideas!
ReplyDeleteI love these! Thanks for sharing. If I can ever get all of my Christmas decorations into the attic I'll start on the next holiday.
ReplyDeleteI love the heart ice cream cake.
ReplyDeleteI think I will make one for my little girl who's birthday falls on Valentine's Day. It is hot in Australia so an ice cream cake will be perfect. We will be having our summer beach holiday at this time so I will make it before we go and take it with me.
I've been searching high and low for the *perfect* valentines crafts-and I've found them all right here--Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I have to agree with Jessica...one-stop-creative-shop!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to have time to start clicking through on instructions as the photos already have me sold.
I adore your creative soul!!
Fantastic projects for Valentine's Day!

i love the little hearts on the bed frame!! (if that is a bed frame:) )
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see the post on the heart-shaped pretzels! Just this weekend my kids and I said we wanted to try to make our own pretzels:o) The last two recipes we tried were not tasty, looking forward to giving this one a go. Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteYour felted sweater hearts are beyond charming...gotta do that!

thank you for the lookback! So inspired all over again.
ReplyDeleteHow did i miss the heart pretzels? I'm thinking they will be a great class snack to send along with the boys as an alternative to the junky stuff they usually get in school. :(
Adorable! Thank you for posting these and your inspiration links. So much wonderful stuff to share!
ReplyDeleteI had forgotten about your paper heart banner!! Thanks for the reminder and the inspiration.
