Decorating with Nature and a dollar cont….

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Jan 16, 2013 · Modified: Dec 8, 2014

Decorating with nature, sticks, spray paint, and Dollar tree decor!

Happy over the hump day to you!

You may recall my decorating on a budget, and with nature centerpiece over the Holidays.

Instead of taking the sticks out and throwing them away

I thought, hmmmm…

how about  simply adding some  Dollar treeValentines

embellishments.

I

can

do 

that!

Some are hot glued, or with a simple mini clothes pin.

Sticks are spray painted a variety of colors…red, blues, green and some kept natural.

The paper heart doilies also came from the Dollar tree

and I mod podged

some

old

book pages.

That’s it for today.

I think I am taking a crafting/blogging break for the day.

I have been like a machine with all these crafts…

Just look at the past week and you will find at least five new Valentine crafts on the cheap for you to do too.

You can follow me anywhere, any time!~

    Very pretty, Debbie! I love the heart doilies with the book pages. Love poems would be a great thing to use, too.

    I am still on my blogathon. I don’t know how many more I will do in consecutive order. I was never meant to be a daily blogger.LOL Having fun though.

    How fun, and I love easy! I don’t really decorate for Valentine’s Day, but blogging kind of changes things, doesn’t it?! Hubby & I have both been sick this week, and now my car is dead, so I probably won’t quite make it to your party. Oh, well, at least I can enjoy the inspiration!

    Hi Debbie … Cute … love how you used the branches … this looks very pretty and so easy to. I have been to Dollar Store two times to try to get inspired, but just away empty handed. You always come up with the most interesting decorations.
    Blessings,
