DIY Valentine Mantel Decor

DIY time at my house!  I spruced up my mantel with some pink and red DIY decor that was inexpensive to do!

First off, I created a burlap banner (my go-to).  I cut triangles out of cream burlap and painted red hearts in the middle.  Then I threaded a red ribbon through all of them.  Didn't take long at all and a burlap banner always looks lovely. 

Next, I created a heart with felt, cardboard, hot glue and scissors.  I cut the cardboard into the size my heart desired and then cut a lot of felt circles.  Next, I folded each circle in half & then in half again.  Cut the bottom off (to make it flat for the glue), dab on some hot glue and voila!

Red candlesticks? Yep.  I had some old black ones laying around that I've been meaning to send to Goodwill for awhile.  So I painted them red.  Not to shabby huh?

What's in the pitcher?  A tree branch with hearts glued to it!

Last touch, I added a picture of my little valentines and glued the picture onto glitter card stock paper. 

Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!
