Today I am sharing with you my Valentines Day Mantel! I am so excited about how it all came together...especially since I actually made some of it myself! If you know me, you know a craft that actually turns out is pretty rare ;)

On one side I framed the printable I whipped up that you can find HERE. I also found this blue birdcage I fell in love with...and inside are my two little love birds ;)

On the other side I framed a piece of fabric that matched our LOVE sign and covered a foam heart in pink tulle and twine. I also scored some burlap balls 90% off in the Thanksgiving Clearance section...perfect!!

I made this LOVE sign last year, and updated it just a teeny bit this year. I re-modpoged 3 of the letters to update the color. and I absolutely adore it. Its the perfect focal point for my mantel.

Finally this year I made a burlap banner to hang up. This was SO easy and quick to put together, I think it adds the perfect finishing touch!

All I did was cut triangles out of burlap and hot glue them to some pink bakers twine. Then, using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, I painted hearts on the burlap with acrylic paint.

And there you have it!! Do you decorate for Valentines Day? It is quickly becoming one of my favorite holidays...just for the decor! ;)
