Valentines Decor






       I know, I know.... Valentines Day has come and gone, but I just had to post these.  We had so much fun making them.  And yes I totally "craftlifted" the idea from someone on Pinterest.  I dont remember who it was or I would totally give credit.  These are just ordinary 6x6" white bathroom tiles covered in melted crayon drips.  Although I did alter both pieces a bit and added my own touch.  One idea coming from DH to reverse the technique on the 2nd tile and color the inside image in instead of leaving the negative image blank like in the other tiles.  And they used the letter "O" instead of a heart like I did here for the "O".  post a comment if you would like details on exactly how I made these fun little tiles.

      And the Felt Heart Tree.  Is just exactly that....  I used my mini sizzix machine and die to cut out 2 different sized hearts out of red, white & pink hearts and doubled them and glued a looped red string in between the two hearts sandwich to hang from a couple twig branches from my lilac bush that had not bloomed out yet, and placed in a tall cylinder vase wrapped with 2" wide red ribbon.  A few of the hearts were embellished with different colors of glitter.
