This creation was inspired by Pinterest and you can find her post here: http://thepeanutpaintshop.blogspot.com/2011/01/love-is-in-air.html

I’m a perfectionist. I love The Peannut Paintshop version but don’t love mine Here are my hearts:

Here are the items you’ll need:

4″ wooden hearts (Unfinished wood section at Michael’s for $.59 each)
Paint
Paint Pen
Ribbon
Hot glue
Tulle

To help mix the paint colors just right I bought some conversation hearts and mixed the paint till I got my desired color. I used the hot pink paint pen to write the names. To be honest, I don’t like the look of the paint pen. Next week, I am hoping to make an egg version of this and plan on doing it a little differently so stay tuned. We hot glued the hearts to the ribbon and hung with tulle. I love the personalization of these. Can’t wait to show you the eggs next week. Maybe they will be glitterized!

Here is where I am linking up today:

Pinterest Girls Night Out January 2012

7 Feb posted by Debbie

This month our girls night out featured Valentine’s Day wreaths. My wreath that I created, one for me and one for a friend, was inspired by this blog post here: http://kamibuchanan.blogspot.com/2010/01/valentine-tulle-wreath.html

Here are my finished wreaths:

I apologize for the lighting. I took these with my phone I do LOVE how these turned out!

Here is a picture of the wreaths the other girls created with me that night. You can tell, we all did our own thing and that is OK!

Items you’ll need for the Valentine’s Monogrammed Tulle Wreath:

Wreath form or wire (you can always use a coat hanger turned into a circle)
Tulle
Wooden letter (Michael’s for 2.99)
Spray adhesive
Glitter
Mod Podge Sealer

Kami gave a great tutorial however, I’m going to add my helpful hints:

When making on a wreath form:If purchase your tulle at a fabric store you will need about 8 yards total of fabric or 4 yards each in coordinating color. If you purchase the tulle on a spool at a craft store you will need about 80 yards of tulle or 40 yards each in coordinating color. I did the G wreath in light pink and dark pink. I did the E wreath in a white and dark pink.
I love the look of the initial. It gives it that special monogram feel. My wooden letter was already white. I used spray adhesive and sprinkled glitter on my letter. I did this three times to get the amount of glitter I wanted. Hey…what girl doesn’t like to glitterize ;) To keep the glitter from shedding and falling everywhere you can seal it by using the Mod Podge Sealer. It does take a few good coats of the sealer. Here is a picture of the one I use:
