A PRETTY VALENTINE PAINT LID GARLAND & SIGN FOR THE MANTLE THAT YOU CAN MAKE!

Hello and welcome! hope everyone is well and keeping warm. Valentines day is swiftly approaching I crafted a garland out of old paint can lids and a sign from some old wood from my stock pile. Both crafts are very easy to do. I go through a lot of paint so I have been saving the lids  all I did was painted them all black   , mixed up some pretty pink and painted each with a heart to tone the colors down I gave them a wash of very light brown paint. once they were dry I went to my grams button stash and glued a pretty button to each. I attached them to some white cotton material and hung them on the mantle.

The sign was super easy you will need a painted board  I used some white cotton rag pieces about 1 1/2 in wide and 4 inch long . I just tied then each into a knot , then hot glued them in the design of a heart , painted the arrow , I decided to go over the knots with some brown paint to make it look aged so just a quick brushing did the trick.

 I had some pretty green material so I cut some strips and rolled the into flowers. It was such fun crafted these projects and even if you are a beginner these would be easy and fun!
