In a previous post I mentioned the idea of re-decorating our Christmas evergreen wreath (if its still beautifully green or artificial) for Valentines Day. Since I posted that, I have seen several mini pine trees decorated for Valentines Day! I was so excited that I had to take pictures of them. Doesn’t it seem like a lot of work to re-arrange the whole house to put up a Christmas tree, only to tear it down in a week or two. The tree transforms feeling in the room instantly. This seems like a time saver and a way to enjoy the festive holiday feel to our homes for a little longer. The red checked wired ribbon is used as a tree topper and a tiny bow is attached to each limb with a wire tie slipped through the back of the bow. The ornaments on the tree are little plastic hearts hung, one to a branch in various sizes with a gold thread. The other ornaments on this tree are mini kitchen gadgets all accented with the red checked tiny ribbon used as a hanger. The photo below shows red, pink and white card stock heart valentines with a hole punched in the top and tied on with a red ribbon. You can also use some silk roses randomly to fill in. The lights are all clear. This tree stays up all year and the decorations change with the seasons. If you don’t want to leave your huge tree up that long due to limited space, you can also do this with the mini trees and scale every thing down. Have fun decorating!
Many of the items you may need to create your own version of this idea can be found on our website by clicking on the link in my post.
