Normally I’m not a big decorator for Valentine’s Day, but for some reason I find myself wanting to add touches of red throughout my home. So I’ve made up a list of Valentine’s Decor projects I want to create and the first one I want to share with you is this super easy felt heart Valentine’s banner.
Simple felt hearts hang from a mini pom-pom garland.
It didn’t take long at all to make this sweet little banner.
I used 3 simple patterns to create the hearts from red and white felt.
Supplies needed are red and white felt, heart shaped cookie cutters, ribbon, scissors, a marker, and a hot glue gun. Can I just say that I recently started using a hot glue gun and I absolutely love it!
Using a felt tip pen, trace your hearts in various sizes and then cut them out.
Glue the smaller hearts onto the larger ones. I left some of the red hearts plain.
Flip the hearts over and hot glue a loop of delicate ribbon toward the top for hanging.
Hot glue a dainty bow onto the felt hearts that were left plain.
Finally, thread your felt hearts onto your ribbon garland and hang!
I found this mini pom-pom garland to use for my felt heart Valentine’s banner.
The little pom-poms help keep the hearts in place on the banner.
I paired it with the red and white striped ribbon that I used at Christmas time.
And that’s all there is to making this sweet little felt heart Valentine’s banner!
Technically it’s still summer but fall will be in full swing next week in more ways than one. The days are getting cooler, the nights are getting longer, and 25 bloggers are banding together September 23-27 to showcase their homes all decked out for autumn. Next week you can view the Fall Home Tour brought…
Valentine’s Day was always my favorite holiday classroom party back in grade school. Choosing Valentines from the shelves of boxes at the local five and dime store was always fun. Once home, signing my name to each one and tucking it into a small white envelope marked with each classmate’s name was a task I…
Do you miss the days of youth when you’d make your own Valentine’s Day cards and hand them out at school? I remember in Girl Scouts one of our holiday projects was to create a unique Valentine. I glued buttons on mine and was quite proud … but Jennifer Mitchell ended up winning our contest…
What are some of your favorite Valentine’s Day memories? I have to be honest and say that I most enjoyed the parties we had at grade school. I loved decorating my Valentine’s box to hold all the cards that you’d get from your classmates. There was no favoritism … every kid gave every other kid…
The holiday of love is just a week away and I’ve rounded up 15 simple Valentine’s Day projects of my own and from various bloggers for you to do in time to celebrate. Our family is getting together for pizza Sunday night and I’m going to give my grandkids their Valentine’s gifts. I know I’m going…
Valentine’s Day gives me reason to celebrate my inner girl and bring out the pink! Pink has been my favorite color for many, many years and I’m happy to say it’s my daughter’s favorite color, too. So in the spirit of Cupid’s holiday, I’ve put together a pink and white table setting. I’m joining fellow…
~love~love~love! what a great idea using the pom~pom garland! i want to do this 🙂 i am still figuring out what to do with my glass terrarium globes… so many inspirations, so little time! xokelly
So cute! And I LOVE my hot glue gun! I just got a new one for Christmas because the old one wasn’t pushing the glue stick through right and I was having to use 2 hands to work the gun and push the glue through – not so handy on some projects where I needed one hand running the glue gun and one hand on the project!
The pom pom ribbon is adorable and that striped ribbon is perfect. Can’t wait to find them both. Hope I don’t have to wait until next Christmas for striped ribbon!!! I can see that working for Memorial Day and July 4th also. Not the hearts of course but pom poms with flags would be cute.
Looks like a fun craft! I love Valentine’s Day and I decorate my large dining table! Thanks for the ideas! CP
Your Valentine garland is just adorable. I love the pom pom string. Cute!
Cute, cute, cute!
