While I am not one to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the traditional way with flowers, chocolates and eating dinner out or other date night activities, I do enjoy the free-for-all declaration (decorations) of love in the shape of stylized hearts. Since I’ve been surrounded by these at work, I thought I would show a quick round up of things I would use to garnish my home.
Papercut from Elsita on Etsy
Grey Heart Wreath from Cole Frank on Etsy
Crochet Mini Heart Garland from Bridesmaid
Cobweb Valentine and Votive Holders from Martha Stewart
Wreath from Namenia Felt on Etsy
Heart Print from Alejandra on Etsy
Hopefully I’ll get around to making some of these and getting them up before the holiday arrives. If so, I’ll be sure to share with you! I do however have a little head start because I made a crochet heart garland a couple of years ago but would like to make the mini to go along with it. This one is similar but I gave it to my mom, mine is the same pink with a bright coral edge. How fitting that my bright coral color is almost the same as Pantone’s new color of the year. My palette is pink, coral (or tangerine), white and gray.
Sorry, this was the best photo I could find, all of the others were blurry. I’ll try and share more pics soon. I got the pattern for this heart from Bella Dia in 2008, thankfully it’s still there.
