DIY Valentine Decoration Tutorial

I made this one first and gave it away as a gift.

As I have mentioned before, I really enjoy DIY projects especially ones that I can use to decorate my home or give as gifts. I thought I would share an easy one I did a couple of days ago. Since I am not an expert on blogging and I can't seem to get everything to line up neatly under the pictures like I want it to, I am just going to list out what I did.

1. I started with a $1 unfinished wood frame from Michaels

2. I took black craft paint and painted the edges of the frame.

3. I traced the frame on the back of a piece of scrapbook paper then cut it out.

4. I used Modge Podge (my best friend) to adhere the scrapbook paper to the frame. You have to be careful not to get any bubbles under the paper.

5. I cut a strip of another piece of scrapbook paper and adhered it to the frame also using Modge Podge.

6. I took the 5 x 7 valentine subway art that I found on Pinterest and printed out at Walgreens and matted it on black scrapbook paper and rounded the edges with my edge rounding tool.

7. I adhered the pictures to the frame using super sticky tape (found at Hobby Lobby in the scrapbook section) and used my glue gun to glue the felt flower on. I found them in the Valentine section of Hobby Lobby (my FAVORITE store).

I hope this makes sense :)
