Happy Valentine’s Day!
I wanted to share a quick decorating idea I came up with last week when I was out thrifting
Meta Hearts
I came across these metal heart shape “things” I have no idea what their true purpose would be for but in my mind they were an awesome thrifty valentine decoration item. Wouldn’t they look great in the center of my repurposed picture frames?
Again, consulting my paint stash, I discovered I had a can of red spay paint. I decided to use the “box method” to hold the heart when spraying. That way it was very easy to spray in the garage and transport the box/heart back into the house to dry. I will be so happy when it starts to warm up and I can move all painting to the garage.
After a couple of rotations and applications, it was completed. I removed the boxwood wreath from the picture frame, and used the same ribbon to attach the heart. Done! A super easy Thrifty Valentine decoration.
It might not be up for long, but that’s ok because it only took a matter of minutes. What’s on your decorating agenda? Would love to see.

February 8, 2016 at 6:53 amI like that! I kinda skipped Valentine’s Day decor in my house pretty much this year and went straight to Easter. I’m more than ready for Spring.

February 15, 2015 at 4:24 pmNice quick craft. I wonder what those hearts were originally. They look great in the frame!
