Origami bow Garland

So lately I've been on an origami kick, folding, creasing, and glueing paper in weird and odd shapes. I ran across this bow technique and couldn't resist but to make a bow garland for my little niece's room. I strung each bow onto twine and it came out just how I imagined it! Now I've got to conquer making origami dinosaurs so my nephew doesn't feel left out! Haha.

It's the Day of Love after all!

From roses to pom pom garland, there's all sorts of ways to add that Valentine's Day splash to your abode without shelling out an arm & a leg. 
Are your bouquet of roses looking a little cliche this year? Cut them down and poke into an oasis ball. Voila! A hanging flower ball.  

Super cheap and super easy! Requires one styrofoam wreath, one skein of creme yarn, red & green felt, & buttons. 


Have any boring books laying around? Put them to good use and make a wreath! Rip out the pages and stain them with tea or coffee. Buy a wooden circle and assemble with glue. Top off with an adorable centerpiece.

How cute is this window garland! Purchase some heavy scrapbook paper and cut into 4 different sized strips. Use 8 per heart (not including the center piece) and staple into place! String through the top of the middle strip and connect all the hearts. So easy your kid could do it! 

I squealed when I saw this pom pom window decoration! Use fishing line and thread through pink and red pom poms. Make several different ones and tie all the strings onto a long stick. Then hang above window! 

Buy some thick coated wire from Michaels or Lowes and shape into any word you desire. Wrap it in any color yarn. So cute! It'd be perfect for a kid's name and to put it on their door.
