How To Create A simple Valentine's Vignette...

Bring a little love in the home decor for Valentine's Day with a vignette.

 

On a sideboard, Dining table or side table, this vignette is very simple to create.

I used a ceramic double vase, but you could swap that for a tall white jug for the heart branches, and a matching white shorter style vase for the roses.

The wooden letters were sourced at the dollar store, and cost $3 each letter.

The bonus is they were already painted and dotted with spots ready to use.

I used these small hearts
from http://www.firstpalette.com/tool_box/printables/heart.html
But they have a range of different hearts to choose from.

Use the hearts as a stencil to cut of some pretty papers.
Or print directly onto A4 size coloured paper.

Use as many hearts as you desire...
I used 32 hearts on my branches.

Punch a small hole in the top of each heart... 

and string with ribbon.

Hang your hearts onto the branches,

It did take a while (yes we are talking an hour!) to cut out and hang the hearts..

But don't they look cute?

The finished Valentines vignette just Shouts out 'LOVE'!
