We’ve barely had time to recover from Carnival, and sweet Cupid is already flying over our heads with a whole bunch of arrows. To welcome him properly, today we’re bringing you 5 Valentine’s Day decor ideas so beautiful that, even if you make them especially for your romantic evening, you can leave them up all year long.
Although Valentine’s Day is usually considered a date for celebrating romantic love, we believe that love is love, without labels. So we invite you to celebrate this beautiful feeling that moves mountains and makes the world go round, regardless of whom you dedicate it to: your little ones, your family, your friends, or yourself.
These 5 Valentine’s Day decor ideas are based on the ultimate symbol: the heart. Sewing, crochet, crafts, and heartbeats galore. Here we go!
5 Valentine’s Day decor ideas that work all year long.
1. The heart tree.
Valentine’s Day craft decor. We think it’s super easy, inexpensive, and beautiful for any corner. All you need are a few branches (which you can easily find now in the fall), cardstock or felt for the hearts, and a little thread or yarn to hang them. You can paint the branches white or leave them natural. To thread the hearts, you can use a needle, which is much easier and more durable than glue. We spotted this lovely idea on the enclaveDECO blog.
2. Crocheted hanging hearts.
In addition to the branches of a beautiful mini love tree, you can also leave a few strategically placed hearts hanging in other corners. We love these from dwell beautiful. Notice the perfect contrast between white, red, and gold, along with the detail of placing them on the door handle. If you prefer sewing to crochet, you can also take a look at our tutorial for making puffy hearts.
3. 3D LOVE letters.
Do you remember the decorative letters we made at Christmas with the word XMAS? Today we suggest bringing back that fantastic 3D letters tutorial from Lulu Ferris and getting to your sewing machine to form the word LOVE. Of course, it works in any language: amor, amour, amore, maitea, liebe… The word matters least; the feeling is universal.
4. Love-filled pillows.
There are thousands of ways to personalize pillows with messages, hearts, words, and loving little details. But since we can’t show you all of them, we chose one from the Cutesy Crafts blog that we thought was beautiful, simple, and original. If you’re roughly from our generation, you may have been taught cross-stitch at school—do you remember? It’s nice to put the machines aside for once and go back to handling a needle between your fingers. The post is in English, but the images will be enough. You can make the template yourself or download it from the internet, and when sewing, remember to use an embroidery hoop to make the work wonderfully easy.
5. Garlands: love is in the air.
And last but not least, a staple of Valentine’s Day decor, as well as all kinds of events, occasions, interior decor, and outdoor decor: the ever-versatile, wonderful, and fantastic garlands. You already know how much we love them, that we make them to order completely personalized, and that we have a YouTube tutorial for making garlands. You’ll also find lots of beautiful fabrics in our store for making your own, or burlap if you prefer, and even chalkboard fabric, so you can erase and reuse the same garland for different events. Just as with the decorative letters, choose your favorite word or phrase and let it fly :)
Happy day of love without labels!
