DIY Valentine Decorations

I'm all about cheap but I'm not all about decorations looking cheap. I'm working on decorating my house with as little money as possible which means making a lot of it myself. Here are a few Valentine decorations that I made myself.

The first one is a grocery bag wreath. It was very easy to make, starting out with just a wire coat hanger and grocery bags cut in to strips. You shape the coat hanger in to a heart and start tying the grocery bags around the hanger until it is full. This was the end product.

 

I'm happy with how it turned out. I especially like it against the black picture frame and homemade red ribbon. 

I was inspired to make the second project while walking through Goodwill. I saw this nasty picture but I knew it was exactly what I wanted.

I made this by cutting hearts and squares out of scrapbooking paper. I think I might use this frame and change the pictures on the inside to match the month/holiday.

I love how this one turned out also.
