I took a 2'x2' piece of plywood from the basement and gave it a good coat of white paint. Then I traced the chevron pattern on the wood and hand painted the pink stripes. My sweet hubby helped me paint the stripes so it went pretty quickly; then, I just hung my thrift store wreath right up there.
I made these Valentine's topiary trees using party streamers! You can see that post here.

| Sorry the photo is a bit fuzzy :( |
I combined all of my favorite fabrics and trims to come up with a feminine and unique banner! You can't go wrong combining chevron, burlap, lace, ruffles, glitter, rhinestones, pearls, yarn, webbing and doilies! Seriously all of my favorite things!
I made the glittered letters from cardstock on my Silhouette and used modpodge and glitter to bling them out! Super cute, easy and cheap!
The owl was from Marshall's (a gift from my sweet friend, Kate!) and the glittery heart was from Michael's using a coupon. PS. Did you know Michael's and Joann's fabrics both have apps for your smartphone so you can use coupons without printing them?? BEST idea ever.
Now we just need to get Hobby Lobby on board with the iphone app business. :)
There you have it! Is your valentine's decor up yet?? I LOOOOOVE this holiday! What's not to love!?
So the questions is... do YOU like it? Let's hear it!
xoxo,
What sweet ideas! I am still 100% on the chevron bandwagon. Thanks for sharing!
