Last Minute Valentines Day Decorations

I love decorating my house with Holiday decorations even smaller Holidays such as Valentines Day! Since my husband and I never go crazy for Valentines Day, I figured I would keep the decorations smaller. I came up with 3 fun, easy, DIY decorations that you to can create with a lot of materials you may already have.

What are your Valentines Day Decorations?


Love Door Hanger

I love hanging wreaths on the door but wanted something a little different for Valentines Day. Since Valentines Day is all about love and romance I went with that theme. 


What you need:
-Wooden levels (whatever you want to spell, I chose LOVE)
-Hot glue gun
-Red paint (or color of choosing)
-Glitter
-Bow

What to do:
1. Paint wooden letters color of your choosing and then add glitter.
2. Hot glue the letters together in a staggered, off center pattern.
3. Hot glue bow to the top of the letters.
4. Let dry, hang on door, and enjoy the view!

What did you hang on your front door for Valentines Day?

Rose Petals and Candles Table Centerpiece

I always love putting decorations on the table based on the time of year. It is simple but adds to the house and the holiday. 

For Valentines Day, I wanted to go with the whole romantic roses and candles and created my centerpiece off that. My husband and I are wanting to save money so we decided to stay in for a romantic night. I thought this would fit the mood I was going for but also fit the Holiday for just a daily decoration, as well. 

Some of the items I had and the rest I went to my local dollar and craft store.

What you need:
-Tray or mat
-Vase for flowers
-Vases for candles
-Rose petals (I used fake to last longer, but real work too)
-Candles
-Roses or other flowers (I used fake for these too)

What to do:
1. Add flowers to the vase
2. Add petals to the vases with candles
3. Assemble vases on tray.
4. Scatter rose petals all over tray
5. Enjoy your beautiful centerpiece

XOXO Wall Art

Adding a little touch of the holidays can always be nice, even just a few colorful letters. My husband made me a shelf that I am allowed to decorate with whatever I want. I decided to keep it simple and nothing to extreme.



What you need:
-4 Cardboard Box Letters (or more if you have more room)
-White and pink paint (or color of your choice)
-Spring/Rose garland
-Lights (optional)

What to do:
1. Paint each letter color of choosing. I went with pink X's and white O's.
2. Intertwine garland and lights and lay out on shelf.
3. Once dry, set up letters in front of garland.
4. Admire your work!
