Made It Monday: Valentine Shelf Reveal!

For today’s Made It Monday, I have one final Valentine project to share with you. It is the easiest by far!

I had the heart ornament (I got it on a super clearance sale at Michaels last year) and wasn’t sure what to do with it. Then I saw this frame and thought I could maybe dangle it from the back. So I stapled it on the back and viola! It looks cute on the shelf with the shadow box of my grandparents.

And now, the whole bookshelf, all ready for Valentine’s Day:

Hope your weekend was fantastic!

Made It Monday: Valentine Decorative Balls

I’m back with another Valentine’s Day project. Usually I’m not huge into decorating for Valentine’s Day, but this year, since we are lacking snow here in Minnesota, all my snowman décor seemed a little out of place. This weeks project is cute little decorative balls that added a hint of pink to the shelf.

I started out by digging out some Styrofoam balls that I had on hand from a previous project (originally purchased at Michaels).

Next, I cut about one inch fabric strips.

Then, I pinned down the end into the ball, and started wrapping. Each time I wrapped it, I would wrap it back to the beginning point, cut the fabric, and then wrap it again.

Voila! Very easy! I did two polka dot balls and one cream one.

Hope you had a crafty weekend! Next weeks Made It Monday post will show the whole bookshelf decorated for Valentine’s Day, so be sure to check back!

Made It Monday: Valentines Decor

A little over a week ago, I pulled out all of my Valentines decorations. I ended up throwing things on the shelves rather quickly, because I had friends coming over and wanted to have my Christmas decorations down. After having the decorations out for a while, I saw a few things that I wanted to change. So, the next couple of weeks of Made It Monday is going to be new Valentines decorations. Here is a picture of the seasonal shelves I wanted to change up:

The first thing I wanted to change was this:

I remember making it last year and not being happy with it, but I didn’t feel like changing it then. Well, this year I did. Here is the new picture:

I used my cricut to cut out the branch, birds and “love” out of vinyl. I applied them right to the glass of the frame and put a piece of burlap in the frame. I also sanded the edges of the frame a bit.

This picture fits in much better with the décor. The old one was just a little too red. Hope you all had a productive and fun weekend! Keep checking back to see what the seasonal shelves look like now!
