Materials

Wood Monogram Form “L” (I got mine from Michaels)
Varying Shades of Pink Tissue Paper
Quick Dry Tacky Glue
Pink and Gold Glitter
Hot Pink Shower Pouf
Acrylic Spray Sealant

Step 1

Remove any packaging and staples attached to your wood monogram.

Step 2

Cut up coordinating tissue paper into squares.

Tip:

These do not need to be even so don’t get bogged down on this step.

Step 3

Add a dollop of glue to your monogram and spread it until you have a thick, even layer on a small portion of your outer circle.

Step 4

Fold up a square of tissue paper into a pseudo-flower shape. See picture above for reference.

Step 5

Attach to your monogram by placing the “stem” part into the glue. Press firmly for a few seconds before releasing.

Step 6

Continue adding folded tissue paper squares and glue until your entire outer circle is completely covered.

Tips:

Alternate shades of tissue squares as you go to achieve the look pictured.

Be sure to place folded squares tightly together. This gives your wreath a nice, full look.

Step 7

Next, cut the strings tied around your shower pouf that hold it together.

Step 8

Unravel it and cut a length of pouf that is about double the length that you want it to hang. Tie the ends together in a knot and trim the excess off of the end.

Step 9

Attach your pouf hanger to your wreath by slipping the end opposite your knot through the knotted end around the top of your wreath.

Tip:

After you have attached your pouf hanger, fluff your tissue around it. This keeps the continuity of your wreath.

Step 10

Now, spread glue on the top half of your “L” in the center of your wreath.

Step 11

Sprinkle your glitters over the glue.

Step 12

Add glue to the remaining half of your “L”.

Step 13

Again, cover with your gold and pink glitters.

Step 14

Allow your wreath to dry completely.

Step 15

Lastly, spray your glittered letter with acrylic spray sealant to prevent it from dropping glitter everywhere.

If your Valentine’s style this year is loving all things pink and sparkly then this DIY monogram Valentine wreath is perfect. I do want to let you know that I wouldn’t hang this on your front door if you do not have a screen door. The tissue paper needs some protection from the elements. Another option is to hang it on the inside of your door so that you can see it whenever you’re in your home.

Ever since seeing the Trolls movie I am even more obsessed with rainbows and glitter and so are my kids. It’s no surprise that when deciding on class Valentines this year my oldest immediately started brainstorming Trolls-themed ones. Trolls love glitter, rainbows, and scrapbooking. These DIY rainbow notebook Valentines have it all covered! The only way they could channel any more awesome Troll energy would be if they sang when you opened them. Alas, we haven’t quite mastered that one but maybe your child could sing while handing them out to classmates. Either way, kids will love receiving these Valentines and parents will love one less piece of candy coming home from school that day.

These notebooks are such a great quality! When you’re getting small notebooks you expect them to be a little flimsy and flexible. I was so surprised to find these notebooks had thick, almost canvas-like, covers that were incredibly sturdy. That makes them perfect for crafting with because they will hold up to glue, paint, and more.

Materials

STEP 1

Cut a strip of rainbow Ducktape that is 1 inch longer that the height of your notebook.

Step 2

Place the strip of tape centered on the right side of your front cover.

Tip:

Leave a small amount of the cover on the right. See the picture above for reference.

Step 3

Wrap the overhanging edges of tape over the edges of the notebook cover and secure on the back.

Step 4

Select 3 foam conversation hearts, 1 large and 2 small, each in a different color.

Step 5

First, attach the large conversation heart in the center of the white space on the cover.

Step 6

Next, attach the 2 smaller conversation hearts above and below the larger one.

Step 7

Trace the letters on the large conversation heart with glitter glue.

Step 8

Allow the glitter glue to dry before moving on.

Step 9

Cut a strip of ribbon that is roughly the length of your pencil.

Step 10

Next, tape the ribbon to the end of your pencil with the rainbow Ducktape.

Step 11

Secure the loose end of the ribbon to the notebook by tying it loosely around the spirals.

Tip:

Make sure that it is loose enough not to pull the wire spirals out of shape.

Step 12

Slide the pencil into the spiral binding.

Step 13

Repeat steps 1 through 12 for your remaining notebooks.

These DIY rainbow notebook Valentines turned out so adorable. They are a perfect non-candy treat that will encourage creativity and writing. They also channel that fun-loving Trolls energy for fun and colorful living.
