1 | VALENTINE’S DAY DECORATIONS TO CREATE A CHARMING TABLE TOP
The LED candles on our table were plain, so I wrapped them with some twine and added red burlap hearts. I secured the ends of twine to the candle with just a little glue. The red, glitter hearts purchased at the Dollar Store were a perfect Valentine’s Day decoration. The hearts were the perfect pop of color, so I added them to the little plants on the table. Swapping out the table runner for each holiday is another easy way to create a festive atmosphere.
2 | SIMPLE DIY BEAD GARLAND PERFECT TO HANG ON THE MANTEL
The chunky beads and burlap hearts were a great find and they were also 40% off at Hobby Lobby. Using some creativity, I strung the large beads and burlap hearts together to create garland for our mantel.
Small command hooks attached to the top of the mantel hold the bead garland in place. The white XOXO letters placed between the two table top hearts really popped. They were also purchased at Hobby Lobby. I love how this Valentine’s Day decoration stands out against the stone.
3 | ADD SOME LOVE TO YOUR RAILING
Using a needle and embroidery thread, I strung the beads and hearts together just like the DIY mantel garland. Instead of the felt hearts, I used some heavy cardstock hearts. These hearts were also found at Hobby Lobby.
4 | ADD SOME ROMANCE TO YOUR VALENTINE’S DAY DECOR WITH A DIY WREATH MADE OF RIBBONS
This heart-shaped wall hanging from the Dollar Store was a little too plain, so I gave it more character. I cut long pieces of ribbons and toule to wrap and tie on the wooden heart. I added ribbon until the wreath looked finished and then trimmed the uneven edges.
I’m really happy with the way this wreath turned out because the pinks and reds pop against the white background.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day
There are several stories surrounding the history of Valentine’s Day, but this is the story that makes sense to me. The legend is about Saint Valentine, who was a priest in Rome around the third century. He was imprisoned for secretly marrying young couples and helping Christians escape from prisons. While in prison, he fell in love with a young girl who visited him. Before he died, it is said that he wrote the girl a love letter signed “From your Valentine.” This story may not be exact, but this girl may have received the first Valentine, I find it romantic.
Celebrate by sending cards, candy, flowers, a Galentine’s night out (February 13), dinner or a quiet movie at home. Decorating for this holidays fills our house with love.
