Valentine’s Day Mantel Bling

Wow.. it has been a VERY long time since I’ve sat down and actually blogged.

I’ll write more later on what I’ve been doing lately, but I wanted to show you the Valentine decorations we have going on.

I don’t usually decorate for Valentines day, but after taking down all the Christmas decorations, I quickly realized how bare and empty the mantel looked.

So with some great ideas from Pinterest, I was able to put this together for under $20!! I bought most of what I needed at the Dollar Store!! Yea Baby…

                

The subway art printables I found by Googling

The one on the right is from Today’s Fabulous Finds

The Faith, Hope, and Love is from A Step in the Journey

The LOVE votives I made using Dollar Store votives and Elmer’s Painters Pens

I made the X’s and O’s by just playing around with Microsoft Word.

I than took some simple twine and laced it through some paper doilies hearts for the banner.

And the Valentines Day plate was made using a plain white plate from the dollar store, clear labels and my computer.

I had A LOT of fun putting this together!
