I kept the branches from my holiday centerpiece and changed the decorations for Valentine's Day. Dollar Tree hearts, hot glue, and miniature clothespins gave the arrangement a new season without throwing away the sticks.
The holiday arrangement before the change
The branches were already part of my holiday centerpiece made with nature and Dollar Tree accents. I reused the same idea instead of starting a new arrangement.
Keep the painted and natural branches
I had spray-painted the sticks in several colors—red, blue, and green—and left some natural. That mix became the base for the red-and-pink Valentine embellishments.
Attach hearts with hot glue or mini clothespins
I hot-glued some of the decorations and clipped others to the branches with miniature clothespins. The close-up shows a red heart held by a small wooden clip.
A paper doily and an old book page
The paper heart doilies also came from Dollar Tree. I used Mod Podge with old book pages, adding a paper detail beneath the white pitcher.
The finished table centerpiece
The decorated branches stand in the pitcher on a burlap runner. Hanging hearts and the smaller clipped accents spread the Valentine colors through the arrangement.
