'NUTS about YOU' Valentine Gift Idea.

Want a CUTE and ROMANTIC gift idea for Valentines Day?

This 'I'm just NUTS about YOU' design was the inspiration.

It can be printed on plain paper for labels,

or on adhesive paper to be used as a sticker.

To Make:

Upcycle a jar, or buy one in the desired size.

Then print the label.

I'm printing on plain white card for this project and the 'Nuts' printable will be used as a tag around the neck of the jar.

Paint the jar lid with red paint if is from a recycled jar with labelling on it.
My jar lid was wood, so I left it unpainted.

Fill your jar with chocolate covered nuts..
I layed dark and milk chocolate covered scorched almonds.
Add ribbon to neck of the jar using roller glue to hold in place.

Then add the label to the jar.
I used roller glue to attach it.

How simple to create...

Ready to gift to your Valentine nut and chocolate lover!

Save As - the FREE NUTS ABOUT YOU Printable' to your

computer, then print in the required size.

I used 5x7 size for this project.

Use this image for stickers.
Save As - then copy and paste and size for as many stickers as you require.

Romantic Repurposed Poetry...

Repurposed Poetry is usually done with the words blocked out with ink pen scribbles...

But today I'll show you a different technique using watercolour paint.

Why not add your sweet repurposed poem to your Valentine's Gift...

Or use your creation as decor decoration.

Here's how to create one:

This poem is one of many free ones found on the internet.

Have a search and find a love poem that you like.

Print it on A4-size paper.

Read through the poem and black out the words you no longer want with watercolour paint.

I used black paint, but you can use any colour you like.

Then add a flower.
And some hearts around the entire poem...
If you need more confidence to paint, just find flowers and hearts to print off the internet to collage with glue onto the paper.

Even with the adaption, it is still a beautiful poem.

It now reads:

The Passion Flower

The hour Love lies down
with folded wings;
His fatal arrows flings.
Not a word is heard,
only from the bridal bird
in darkness sings.
Sweet music,
soft and clear -
'Love is here!'
The moon,
bright spells and hope
gone to dream of pleasures - asleep.
Now smile;
forgetting grief,
to stars or pale moonlight.
'What beauty can the day bestow?'
Turn and tell me - for the day.
And now comes back,
Love -
sighing like the winds 'mongst evening flowers.

Roll and tie with a ribbon to gift,

or frame and use it in your Valentine's decor.

A YELLOW Valentines Vignette...

This year, my Valentine's sideboard decor is YELLOW!
I mean - why does it always have to be ...
pink...or red?
My old upcycled sideboard is in the darkest corner of the room,
so the YELLOW makes it POP with beautiful happy colour!

I used my Valentine's collage canvas as the centrepiece.
You can find out how to create one HERE.
Then I bought the brightest yellow chrysanthemum flowers I could find.
If you can't source them, yellow lilies or gerberas are an option too.
I placed the flowers into a French-inspired white tin container that my glass vase fitted inside.
