Valentine Plant Stake

Do you ever wonder what to do with your old sponge paint brush when the sponge has taken a turn for the worse?  Don't throw it away, turn it into a decorative plant stake! 

Simply cut two hearts out of red felt, place the stake in the center of one of them, and stuff with cotton balls.  Then with a hot glue gun, glue the second heart on top and seal the edges.  Add some ribbon to dress it up. 

There you have it, a Valentine's Day Heart Plant Stake!

Valentine's Felt Flower Ball

Such a fun way to dress up you Valentine's decor with this simple to make Felt Flower ball.

You will need:

2-3 sheets of red felt

Scissors

Hot glue gun

Small styrafoam ball

Small tupperware lid for template

Step 1: Draw circle by tracing the small tupperware lid on the felt.  It takes any where from 40-50 circles.  I was able to get 20 circle per sheet, but that will depend on the size of tupperware lid you use.

Step 2 & 3: Fold circle into quarters.  Put glue on corner point of folded felt and glue to the styrafoam ball.

Step 4: Continue gluing folded circles until the ball is completely covered.

And this is what you will end up with--SO CUTE!!!

Valentine's Button Heart Plaque

This by far is my favorite Valentine decoration in my house!  It was fun and easy to make and turned out great!

 You will need:

Old cabinet door

White spray paint

Buttons (red, white, pink, black, or gray)

Hot glue gun

Vinyl lettering (optional)

You start out by spray painting your old cabinet door white (you can pick up old remnant doors at a local cabinet shop for a pretty good deal). As soon as the door is dry gather all your buttons and start arranging them in the shape of a heart.  When you get your desired shape, heat up the glue gun and start gluing them into place.  When finished add a Valentine's expression in vinyl (optional).

Here are the ones my sister-in-law and Mom made.  I love how each of ours turned out to fit our personalities.  My sister-in-law added black buttons to hers and my Mom kept her door oak to match all the oak in her house.  What a fun project!
