Thrifty Valentine Decor

 I'll be re-posting some projects I've created in the past, just in time for Valentine's Day!

This is so easy, I can't believe it! I picked up some Dollar Tree candles, red gems, scrapbook paper and glitter 'foamie' stickers at Michaels. There really isn't a great Valentine paper selection to choose from, so I went for matching my kitchen decor, which is damask. Also, I found the tray at Goodwill, originally a light oak color with ducks circa 1988 on it and PROMPTLY spray painted it black... it's what I do.

Check out the cost:

Gems: $1.00

Candles: $1.00 each ($3.00 for all)

Tray: 50 cents, thrifted

Scrap Paper: 30 cents

Stickers: $1.00

I cut strips of paper and wrapped them around (think paper chain activity from elementary school, y'all) and taped them with double-sided tape. You could even use regular tape or hot glue it down. Next I positioned my stickers, put the candles on the tray and poured the gems on the tray...I used the whole bag.

This is so easy and festive! Come on, February, Mama Bee is ready!
