I stopped at Hobby Lobby to grab some yarn on Friday and my kids asked to check out the holiday decorations. I love and hate that they like to do this. I love it because I too like to look. On the other hand, I hate it because I usually end up wanting to buy a bunch of it or get new ideas for more projects to add to my "to do" list. My "to do" list is never-ending as is.
This time we found these most attractive 6-inch tall glass letters. They were in the Christmas clearance section marked down 90%, making them $1.49 each. There weren't too many letters left to choose from, so after going through every short Valentines Day word I could think of (love, xoxo, Be Mine, etc...) I ended up with the choices of Hugs, Kiss, or SWAK.
What leopard print has to do with Christmas I still haven't figured out.
The leopard print design was printed right on the letter (I thought it was a sticker) so I only had to take off the price tags and paint.
And a little Valentines Day treat idea for you too. I shared how to make the flower in this post here.
I've seen these in abundance at our Hobby Lobby. I don't get the leopard print either... This is a great idea though! I may have to hit it up tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteLove how they turned out! and I love the name of this post :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Love this idea. I don't have a hobby lobby around, but maybe i can buy the wood letters at Walmart and try this. I am decorating with a chocolate Kiss theme this year and everything about this would go perfectly with my design. I've pinned it to my Valentine's day party board and can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.
