Valentine’s Day Decor: Pink and Gold Mantel

I love Valentine’s Day!  Not because my husband lavishes me with gifts….because he doesn’t.  I don’t get him anything either actually.  We rarely do anything as a couple on Valentine’s Day.  It’s all about the family and our kids in our house!  So I put up our Valentine’s Day decor to reflect that.  Lots of love, lots of hearts and all about the family.  

You can see how I made that round striped love sign HERE.  That sign became the centerpiece of my Valentine’s Day mantel this year and I had fun creating all of the other things to go along with it!  

Valentine’s Day Decor: Pink & Gold Mantel

I got that gold polka dot poster board at Hobby Lobby.  They have a bunch of fun poster boards that they call “designer.”  I trimmed it a little and then popped it in my big Ikea frame which created a nice backdrop for everything.

I also got some wood letters for the XOXO garland and spray painted the Xs gold and painted the Os with the same Cameo Blush craft paint I used on the Love sign.  I also spray painted that wire heart basket I got at the Target dollar spot while I was at it.  The Xs and Os were a bit heavy so I looped some masking tape and actually stuck the letters to my frame and wood backdrop just to secure it a little more.

And for the heart garland I just punched out hearts using my heart punch (an almost 3″ heart punchI also found at Hobby Lobby) and scrapbook paper from this pack.  It matched perfectly!  Then I literally used scotch tape to tape the hearts on a piece of twine.  Couldn’t have been easier!

Then I put our latest family picture up (which happened to be alllll the right colors- score!), put some faux peonies in some vases and I was done!

I think it’s so pretty I bet I will keep it up way past Valentine’s Day this year!
