Valentine Decor on the cheap: Part I

I'm thrilled, nay, ecstatic to share some of my Valentine decor with you today. Since I've made a few things and included tutorials, I'm not going to put it all in one gigantor-takes-an-hour-to-read-it post. Instead, I'm breaking them up-

Here's the foyer-

(and, once again, if you pronounced that "Foy-yay" in your head, then you are fancy)

Here's a close-up of one of the many free printables I used:

(thank you Becky Higgins)

I made a garland with vintage valentines that...you guessed it-

I printed for free.

and there's a wreath that I made using a slightly unconventional system.

OK, it was downright crazy, but it worked.

And didn't cost me a dime.

So...back to the printables.

They were all free and here's what I found:

some subway art, (found HERE and HERE)

a couple of "Love one another"s (found HERE)

and some vintage valentines (found HERE)

I used the vintage valentines to make the garland hanging from my flower boxes-

just trimmed off the white,

rounded the edges with a corner rounder, and

punched holes in the top corners,

 threaded them onto some twine I already had, and

BOOM.

done.

The frame with the cute "Love one another" print still had my Christmas subway art in it (I know... I promise it was the only Christmas decor still lurking in my house)

so, I popped out the Christmas,

and inserted the V-day-

the Christmas subway art, btw, is also from eighteen25, where I found one of the awesome V-day subway art printables.

the little red felt poofy thingy you see here is something I made and will be featured (with a tutorial) in my next post all about how I made the wreath,

and

that fabulous white chess piece is from the hob lob, purchased at half price for a whopping 3 bucks.

All total, I spent $0 on my V-day foyer since I already owned or printed for free everything you see.

Hopefully you can make some of your own magic with the free printables!

Coming soon....
