Ombre Valentine Decoration

I've never attempted to make anything with the ombre look before. I was trying to come up with a filler for a large glass container for my Valentine's mantel. I went in search of something to use in my craft stash.  I found some paper shred in many shades of pink and I decided to layer the paper in the container to make an ombre look. It's simple and sweet.

I am going to be sharing many of my mantel project ideas over the next few posts. Thanks for stopping by!  I purchased most of this from the Dollar Tree over the past few months.

Necklace Organizer for Blogger Party

Tonight I'm headed to a Baltimore Blogger Party hosted by the lovely couples from One Project Closer.  I'm very excited to meet some new bloggers and see some that I have already had the pleasure of meeting before.  We were asked to bring either something we've made or even a craft fail for a white elephant exchange. I really love the necklace holder we made a few months ago. I asked Rob to help me whip up another one to take to the party.

Rob took a piece of leftover wood and routed the edges. He then painted it in a bright white, and then used the same antiquing glaze we just used on our Sunday School table to give it an aged look. I picked up four cabinet knobs from Lowe's and he attached them using screws.  
It was a quick and easy project. It can be any size you'd like and have as many knobs as you need as well.  The cost of this project was around $13.

Easy Valentine Trees

I wanted to make some simple Valentine's decor for my mantel. I had some paper mache trees, so I wrapped them in scrapbook paper and added ribbon at the bottom. I then placed them on top of some Dollar Tree glass tea light candle holders.  

Total cost around $5 dollars for both of these. I think I am going to use these tea light candle holders more often as stand for different projects. I just set the trees on the top of them, and that way they can easily be removed for other projects.

Thanks for stopping by!
