DIY Blooming Heart Valentines Decoration
While I was "working" (i.e. scoping out the web for cute Valentine's day tutes) I came across this gorgeousness on Punkin Pattern. I'm so glad I discovered this site, there's so much cuteness there!
I asked the creator, Vanessa, if she would share the tute with us, and she agreed. I see so many variations on this, I just love how it's sweet but not as saccharine as some traditional Valentines day decorations.

Blooming Heart Valentines Decoration
Here's a very quick Valentine's Day decoration. I did mine in about an hour (while sitting in front of the TV). You'll need some cardstock in various colors and patterns, foam (heart shaped), 2 sheets of craft felt, push pins (about 1"), and a flower craft punch
To prep the flowers, simply punch out of the cardstock with the punch and bent slightly in on itself to create a dimensional look and put your pin through the center.
Cover your foam heart with felt by tracing the heart onto the felt and cut 2 (for top and bottom) and affix with push pins (or glue if you like). Measure the sides of the heart and cut strips of felt for sides. Attach felt to sides, making sure the entire foam heart is covered with felt. Don't worry if it's not too accurate, this is just to hide the foam so you can't see it between the flowers.
Now you can start adding your flowers. I wanted a somewhat crowded look to the flowers, so I placed mine fairly close together. Make sure you distribute the patterns and colors well so you don't get clumps of one pattern or color.
Don't forget to cover the sides as well.
When you've covered the heart, turn it over and add a ribbon for hanging. I tied a little knot in the bottom for decoration. You can attach the ribbon to the heart with push pins or glue. Enjoy!
Isn't that the sweetest? Check out Vanessa's site Punkin Pattern for more great tutes and inspiration!

fabulous!
This is so darling and I have a flower punch that my son loves to help me use! It'll be a great activity for all of us!
This is great. It is something even I can do! Thanks for posting it.
Love this!!!!!!
AWESOME!! THANK YOU for sharing!! CANNOT wait to do this!!
This is lovely and versatile - I can see it looking great very subdued or with lots of pops of bright color
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am very excited to try this one out. My 4-year-old is always wanting to help me make stuff, but most things I do are not easy things for a 4-year-old to do. This project looks like it will be easy enough for her to do most of it and we can even hang it on her doorknob for her own special V-day decoration. I can't wait to make a few of these with my daughter!!!
This is so pretty. For decor goes this year, I decided to go ALL out. I usually don't decorate for Valentine's, but this year I decided to decorate for something each month :) I have found so many cute decor tutorials online and I have a list that is soo long right now, hopefully I can get some of them done!!!
I have to keep my decorations to a minimum (OCD hubby), but I got some small, sparkly red hearts which I will hot glue into a black picture frame (sans glass).
Love you blog.
