Valentines Decor

This year I have been really into making valentines decorations, and if you have been on pinterest you would see that there is some really cute stuff out there. That is where all my ideas have come from, other women blogging about their awesome creations.

Here is what I have put up this year and I included some pics on how I made my "kissing balls"



Framed "XOXO"- made these with marbles and paper. Turned out so cute.
Poster with "Be Mine" on it. I love the pink chevron print and the red berries next to it.

Here is the instructions on my "kissing balls"

This is what you will need:
Felt in the colors of your choice- about a yard each
Ribbon for hanging
Styrofoam balls
Hot glue gun

Getting started...

I made three of them, one was a 5" styrofoam ball and the other two were 4" balls from Family Dollar. So I just hot glued a ribbon around the center and left a loop up top so I could thread through a ribbon to hang it.


Then I cut out little flower shapes from different colors of felt. I used red, white and a light pink. This part took FOREVER! But in the end it was worth it. For the big ball I used about a yard of felt, it took about 200 maybe more of the flowers. The two smaller balls took about 120.

After cutting out the flowers you will fold each one in half then in half again and cut off the very tip. Then just put hot glue where you cut and stick to the ball. You can put the flower close together or separate them more, depends on what look you want.

Here is how mine turned out:


Lots of work to make but now I will have them for years to come!
