While taking it easy (as much as you can at 38 weeks of pregnancy), I made some simple Valentine’s decor that turned out better than I had planned! These decorations were very inexpensive and quickly helped add a little color of love to my living room. 

Simple Valentine’s Decor

Dress up your Candles

I originally had solid red candles up, but they just weren’t hitting the spot for me, perhaps not festive enough. I really like how these turned out. All you need is red card stock, twine, and candles. Cut out hearts then wrap the twine a few times around the candle to hold the heart in place and tie it in the back. So simple yet pretty! Also very reusable! For St. Patrick’s Day, just change out the hearts for four leaf clovers and voila!

Simple Valentine’s Decor with Chalkboards

The chalkboard also can be used over and over again throughout the year. I made it a while ago for a Roaring 1920’s party we threw. I found tray at a thrift store for a dollar and picked up the chalkboard paint at the craft store. Just put on a few coats of the paint and you have a sign to be used for any holiday, party or whatever!

Paper Roses + Tutorial

I eventually want to make a wreath solely out of paper roses (here is a wreath I made our of tissue paper!), but until then, this will suffice. The tutorial below will walk you through how to make these little dainties.

The branches were spray painted white and I only used one box of Red Hot candies from the store. The secret is to insert a toilet paper roll in the center to take up space so you do not need as many candies.

Pretty right? And very affordable.

MORE Simple Valentine’s Decor for You

Here is another simple yet lovely Valentine set up I created that you can glean some ideas from. 

Picture frames are always a good option

I have discovered that photo frames are so versatile when it comes to decorating. Just swap out whatever you have in them with something different for each occasion. If you have a really pretty Valentine’s Day card from years past, pop that in a frame!

For the frame above all I did, similar to my candles above, is cut out a heart from red card stock and place it within a square frame I already had. It’s so simple but has such a classic look about it.

Printables are a great option for Simple Valentine’s Decor

Speaking of frames, printables to put in those frames are AWESOME! You can grab so many pretty ones for free online so all you really need is a printer to print them off.

In this frame, I put my Valentine Subway Art printable that I designed (it’s free so go get it!). It’s filled with all things Valentine so I know you’ll like it. 

Let’s get a little crafty

I like to call this my little “bucket of love.” These hearts were super easy to make, took a little time but would be a great project for a youngster to help with.

All I used was the cardboard from a box of diapers, tape, and yarn. After cutting out my heart shape, I took the end of the ribbon and taped it to my heart. Then I began wrapping it over and over again, rotating the heart, to cover all the cardboard I could see. Once it looked like I had concealed the cardboard, I cut the yarn and tied the end to a piece of the yarn on the heart. 

Hope you enjoy these simple Valentine’s Decor ideas! 

Happy Valentine’s Day from the boys and me!
