{ Cute Valentines Banner }

Are you looking for a cute, simple banner to make for Valentines Day? I've got just what you're looking for!


Create this cute little banner in just a few simple steps... Here's what you'll need!
  • 4 book pages
  • 8 paper hearts
  • twine
  • glue gun, glue
  • scissors
I found these super cute flat paper cards at the Target dollar corner, you guessed it, for $1! Perfect for this banner! Start by cutting your book pages close to the wording on the sides, fold the page in half and cut into two pieces. With your heated glue gun, glue the paper hearts onto your book pages and let dry. Turn your pages over and place four glue dots on the top of the page and push your twine into place. Leave about two inches between each book page. Ta-da, now you have a super cute banner to display! After my Fall Banner and Christmas Banner, I felt my mantle looked so bare with nothing on it, so I adore this :)

    Very Cute! I agree that the house feels so undecorated after Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
    I may have to check out my local target and snatch up those hearts :)

    That's really cute! Your mantel looks great. We recently moved to a new house and don't have a mantel here like we did at our old house. I really miss having a mantel to decorate like that! Thanks for sharing photos of yours. Happy blogging! :)

    That is so, so pretty! I am jealous, we don't have a fireplace, they were all ripped out and blocked up before we had this house :-(

      I know, it's pretty much a first come,first serve deal I'd say! I saw another blogger post big spools of bakers twine from the dollar corner and I had just left Target :( Good luck going back, maybe you'll find some!!
