Heart Rosette Valentine’s Wreath
With just a few supplies you can make a beautiful brightly colored heart-shaped wreath to hang on the front door of your apartment. The roses on the wreath are made from felt so you won’t have to worry about them dying.
Turn old worn socks into a festive sleeve to slip onto a vase. In this tutorial from Lemon Tree Dwelling they used an old gray sock, a red sock, scissors and no-sew fabric glue. A great craft to repurpose something that you would probably otherwise throw away.
Use the same method you would to create a paper doll chain, except make a chain of paper hearts to hang up in your apartment. You will need lightweight computer or craft paper, a pencil, markers, and scissors. Amp up your paper heart chain with glitter, colored paper, colored pencils, or chalk.
Instead of real flowers, which will die in a few days, set out some paper flowers. Use this tutorial from It’s Always Autumn to make all different types of paper flowers to decorate your apartment with. Impress your guests with your awesome crafting skills.
