vintage valentine wreath


I bought a bunch of these vintage valentines on Etsy and Ebay for my vintage themed valentines day party this year-but I was having the hardest time figuring out how to display them! First I started with a simple garland, with the valentines layered on top of doilies, then took that apart and did a garland with just the valentines....then took that apart and hemmed and hawed at it while I watched a few episodes of New Girl. (love that show!)

Finally I grabbed a styrofoam wreath, wrapped it with torn strips of fabric, and attached some twine and clipped my favorites on! I may or may not have clapped my hands with glee when I finally came to a decision. #mocraftsmoproblems


I added a big white and mustard felt flower to add some more color, and simply pinned it to the styrofoam, in case I want to change it up in the future.


I so wish Valentines still looked like this! Aren't they the cutest? I can't get enough of them...they may become my newest collection/obsession!


Are you making any last minute Valentines day decorations this year?

I'm not really into the whole valentine's thing but that looks very cute. Your presentation skills are very good - do you use photoshop?
