decor

ation piece from Dollar Tree and I'm going to take my scissors and cut the Tunsil at the top and then start unwrapping it.

It's very easy to unwrap and I'll just take it all off. now I'm going to grab these cream roses that I bought from Dollar Tree a while ago. I have 15 and I already ripped them off the stems and I'm just going to start in the middle of the top of the heart and I'm just going to glue them to the corners of the slats around the top of the heart until I run out, like this so what I'm doing is following the heart shape on the outside, but I'm just going to the lengths of the grid about to link the grid down with the cream roses because I also have two other different colors to add to this heart , so I want to create a line at the top of the cream colored roses and then I will come with a different color in the middle and a different color at the bottom, you want to make sure that when you add the roses, the bumps on the part top of the heart are your peaks and that you are really adding more roses to the ones on the outside. of bumps, that way you create that indentation in the middle to make it look like a heart shape.

Now the next color I'm using is a peachy pink color, it's very light, these roses again are from Dollar Tree and I actually used four bunches of this. color so it was 20 roses in total and again I plucked them from the stems and started where the cream colored roses were left and hot glued them to the corners of the racks once I got three bouquets which was 15 roses in total . In a line that filled about a grid and a half, I came back with the last bunch of roses, the five leftover roses and I hot glued them in the middle to fill the spaces around them and you can see.

From time to time I also take rose petals and hot glue them to fill some spaces. Now the last color is a dark peachy pink color that I got from Dollar Tree and I had three bunches of these so I had 15 roses and I just filled the bottom of the heart with those again doing the same thing hot gluing them to the corners of the grid and then filling in where needed so that there were no spaces left. I made sure to turn everything. sew at the end and reinforce with a little hot glue, then the last thing I did was use some of this burlap ribbon from Dollar Tree to create a hanger for this door hanger or wreath or whatever you want to call it.

I simply cut a piece off and then hot glued it to the back of the grid pattern. Make sure you use scissors or something to keep it in place, but that was it. I love how it turned out. Do how much I love you. You played my favorite song. in I put my feet up and we just sing and come back for the next DIY. I'm using three of these heart-shaped glass plates from Dollar Tree, one of them I'm going to paint with some regular white chalk paint from Rust-oleum. I'll give it two coats of paint to cover it and then on the second coat I'll mix some white and red paint together to get a darker pink color.

When you mix colors, you want to make sure you mix enough. Paint two coats on your piece so that way you don't have to remix colors and get the wrong color the second time, so make sure you mix enough paint to make two coats, so I went ahead and painted the piece. second glass with the darker pink color and like I said, I did two layers. You want to do one coat, let it dry and then go back and do the other coat because you're going to use the rest of that pink paint, the darker pink paint to In the third glass, you're just going to mix a little bit more white into that darker pink paint to get a very light pink, if all this makes sense, that way you go from white to light pink to dark pink, so it will be like an ombre effect, um, anyway I did it with the last piece of glass and painted it with two Layers of lighter pink paint to speed up the drying process.

I always use my hair dryer in between so everything dries quickly, so once everything was dry, I went ahead and wrote inside the bottom of each of them some candy heart sayings. The first one I wrote was mine and I used a pencil to write everything down, that way in case I made a mistake I could go back and I erased it and then I went back and went over it with a black marker, on the second one I wrote kiss me and then on the third I wrote I love you and that was it for these simple dishes.

I think they turned out so cute and I love how they look like little candy hearts and they would be perfect to display in your entryway with some packaged sweets for Valentine's Day or just around your house for cute forever decor for this third DIY . I'm going to use four of these. Bless You Dollar Tree Heart Signs. I went ahead and removed the four hearts coming out of the signs. I'm going to save one for my next DIY in this video and then save the other three for maybe something else later. I went ahead and sanded where the hearts were on the signs just to make sure everything was smooth.

Then I took my white chalk paint, we're walking it and painted the front of the signs with two coats of paint to cover the writing afterwards. All the signs were dry. I went ahead and turned them over because I'm going to use the inside back of these sciences for my project. You can use the front if you want, but I guess I like the 3D box look effect. so I went ahead and put everything together with some hot glue and then I took some of that light pink paint that I had mixed up in the last project and used it to paint the inside of these boxes.

I did the inside and sides of all of them then once they were dry I just went back with some white chalk paint and very carefully painted the edges of the sign white, unfortunately I didn't have enough time for this video but I think That would be super cute. the back of this if I wanted to make this a dual purpose sign and the back could be an Easter decoration, also the Easter decoration is not available at my Dollar Tree yet so I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do anyway, but the last thing I did with the sign was I just wrote on each box an X and an O in pencil and then I went back with my black marker and filled it in and made sure I had an and the O on top of the X, if it makes sense to keep them opposite and that was it for this Valentine's sign.

I think it looks really pretty and super cute right now. For the last DIY, I'm going to take one of those hearts that I ripped out the sign in the previous DIY and I'm going to go ahead and place it between two pieces of wood to make it easier to drill a hole in one side of the heart and then I took some of that excess light. I mixed pink paint and painted both the back and the front then I'm going to take these beads from Dollar Tree and some twine and I'm going to go ahead and place my heart on the twine and tie it and then Take some hot glue and at the end of the thread I'm going to go ahead and put a little bit in there and that way it will be easier for me to string these beads on the thread without the thread coming undone and causing a There are a lot of problems and it will be easier to get through the holes, so after After doing that and drying the hot glue, I went ahead and threaded all the pearls onto the piece of thread up to where the heart was.

It's just that I tied it after all the pearls were strung on the thread. I made a quick little tassel by simply wrapping the yarn around my four fingers a bunch of times and then I removed that loop and wrapped a little more yarn around the top to create two loops and then just wrapped the excess yarn around the top. top to make it look a little more voluminous and then I just cut between the larger loop at the bottom to make my tassel and then I just took the string that the beads were strung on. and I used it to thread the smaller bow through and tie the tassel and that was it.

I think it turned out really nice and cute for Valentine's Day. This moment can always say forever forever. I will watch them. Thank you all so much for watching. Today I hope you enjoyed these Valentine's Day DIYs. Make sure you like this video and I'll see you next time and take care, bye.
