Valentine's Day - Our DIY Details

With Valentine's Day just around the corner..

I wanted to share some fun

and easy DIY Details that you can use to

decorate your home or a party!

Mini Powdered Sugar Donuts might have

been used as bribery for this photo shoot...

Here's a Summary of my DIY DETAILS.

I'll explain more on each throughout the post!

--Dollar Store Heart Doily Garland

--Dollar Store Heart Balloons

--'XO' Gold Spray Painted Letters

--2 IKEA Frames filled with Valentine's Day Themed Printables

--Thrift Store 'Donut Stand' Spray Painted Gold

--Gold Sparkly Heart Toppers

--Flower Crowns (Tutorial later this week!)

--Tulle Tutus

I found this cute little stand at good will one day..and knew it had potential!

I spray painted it gold (the metallic kind) and loaded it up with pretty little donuts!

The toppers were made from leftover gold sparkly card stock that I cut out with my heart craft punch(JoAnns) and taped to some candy sticks(JoAnns)

I made the GOLD 'XO' LETTERS using

Metallic Gold Spray Paint and Letters from JoAnns.

We used them on the table display but they could be cute as photo props!

I used a white IKEA storage box(from my office area) upside down

to give some height to my table. 

 I made up in Photoshop a couple VALENTINE'S DAY PRINTS

to put in frames as part of our Decorations!

The girls really loved this one with the cute little bumble bees. :)

You can get the Printable for yourself in my Etsy Shop.

I think they would be cute for your home decor but even for a valentine's day party!

Or printing up a bunch and framing as gifts... a fun little DIY you can use each year.

BE MINE PRINTABLE - $8 

   KEEP CALM and EAT CANDY PRINTABLE - $8

LOCATION: I took these photos in the corner of the Girls' Room...

moved their beds to the side. The Table and heart rugs are from IKEA.

OUTFITS: They are wearing basic white tops from Target...

and their Tulle Tutus I made them last year. (no sew SUPER easy.)

The girls were all about this super girly photo shoot.

It didn't take much convincing for them to participate

once I said tutus and donuts were involved...

DOILY HEART GARLAND

I grabbed 2 packs of heart doilies from the Dollar Store.

Took some Clothes pins I already had, painted one side with mod podge and dipped them in Gold Glitter from JoAnn's (bought big size and used coupon)

I used fishing line that I already had to string them up! For something even more sturdy you could use ribbon. We moved this garland to our mantle! :)

This is what happens when powdered sugar donuts are involved in photos...

Sugar high. ;) goofy girls.

Hope you found some inspiration in this post to make

your Valentine's Day extra special for your sweeties!

I am trying to help Sophia fulfill her new years resolution of "celebrate more"...

I thought that was a good resolution. ;)

I'll be sharing the Flower Crown Tutorial later this week!

or weekend...depending on life.

I seriously have been pooped/peed on every day this week

and our humongous laundry pile is proof of that.
