Working with EGC on this project was an absolute treat and when he showed up at our house with a box full of stripey straws and itty bitty milk bottles, and a 5-gallon bucket full of flowers, I knew I was in for a very fun day of Valentine-style decorating!
He also came bearing the three adorable pennant banners that are hanging in the background of our Valentines Day Decorating Ideas photo…
He made them with a variety of inexpensive/easy-to-find materials: gold glitter, gold glittery ribbon, staples, white cardstock, spray adhesive, twine, paper doilies, burlap garland, and red, pink & plaid fabric.
The oval-shaped doilies (that are folded in half over the twine string) came from the Dollar Store, and the rest of the materials came from Hobby Lobby.
He used hot glue to secure the doily and fabric pennants to a piece of twine, and just tied on some long, red and pink fabric scraps in between them…
The gold glitter pennant banner he created was a super simple project too.
He started by tracing circles onto white cardstock, and then cutting them in half. Next, he coated one side of all the half-circles in spray adhesive and gold glitter. After that, he attached them to a long piece of sparkly gold ribbon with a stapler.
Just for fun, he’s going to give that pennant banner away on his new Facebook page tomorrow, (Tuesday, February 7th) so make sure to head over there if you’d like a chance to win it!
In the meantime, leave us a comment on this blog post (between now and Wednesday, February 8th at 8am central time) if you’d like to enter to win the fabric/burlap/doily banners he made. One banner measures 5′-5″ feet long, and the other measures 7′ feet long. We’ll randomly select a winner on Wednesday morning, and hopefully we can have them to their new home by Valentines Day!
I’d LOVE to win the banners. Such a simple and cute idea!
Love it all!
Debbie

That glitter one pretty much rocks the house too, though, I may have to whip one of those out really quick!
Wow, Looks fantastic. I love the way turquoise and red look together.

Adorably charming banner! My little valentines and I would love for this to decorate our kitchen!
Dear TLC, I think you guys are awesome, and I follow you religiously. But an entire week of posts about Valentines crafts? You’ve devoted more time to Valentines Day than you did to Christmas. I can’t speak for everyone, but Valentines Day is barely a blip on the radar and is frankly one “holiday” that is essentially hyped by the greeting card, chocolate and flower industry. Can we move on please? -Luv ya.
Hey Lisa,
Like I said in my last post, we actually tried to make a point of creating ideas that could easily be altered into other holidays, or just any ol’ day of the year.
Also, I enjoy blogging about whatever it is that is tickling my fancy at any given moment (that’s what blogs are for, right?), and working on these projects was not only a ton of fun for me, but it will also be neat for me to peek back at these posts when I’m old and silvery-gray. 🙂
As far as Christmas decorating goes- we actually had our Christmas decor up in the Spring of 2011 for a few different projects we were working on, and because we had a crazy busy Fall, we just didn’t have the energy to put back up in December.
Your comment made my heart race and feel down about my favorite thing to create/work on every day. I truly mean it when I say, my blog is my playground and passion pushes my swing. I hope you understand.
Some people are just negative, stay positive! Your blog provides great energy and ideas!
I Heart V-day! Love the celebration of love and adore your fresh take on the swoony day. Keep ’em coming!
Sounds like someone does NOT like Valentine’s Day. Hmmm. I remember plenty of inspiring Christmas Craftiness going on at The Lettered Cottage. Loved it then. Love it now. Keep smiling!
So cute!
Would be blessed to win! 😀
