First up was replacing my Christmas wreath. I searched & searched on Pinterest to find something I liked for a Valentine's wreath. I couldn't really find anything I really liked. So many were so cheesy. I found a couple of ideas that I liked & made my own "hybrid" Valentine's inspired wreath.
Next up...I found an idea (Pinterest inspired, of course) of making a heart out of buttons. I thought the idea was cute. I started with a square block of wood, put it on some "I love you" paper & then sanded & aged the edges. Arranging the buttons turned out to be more difficult than it seemed. I thought it would be a breeze...then found myself arranging & then re-arranging for about an hour!
Next up....my (Pinterest inspired) Candy Heart Tree. I started out with a foam cone & a bunch of candy conversation hearts. I (because I am ridiculously OCD) separated out the colors and formed a pattern around the cone. Now, of course, you don't have to do this & could just as easily put them on at random...but, again, I'm just that OCD.
I severely miscalculated just how long I thought this project would take. For some reason I had it in my head it would only take about an hour to complete. Three hours later I found myself still sitting on the floor with glue gun web-like strings everywhere and finally finishing up. It was messy, it took much longer than anticipated, but I love the way it turned out.
I've got some more projects I've finished up & will post more tomorrow!
