Here is a super thrifty, fast and easy, DIY that anyone can do
All you need is a wire coat hanger and some ribbon or fabric strips…
Untwist the neck and use your hands or pliers to bend and shape into a heart. You can keep the hook or straighten the wire and wind it around the top part of the heart. Either way, once you add the ribbon it will be concealed
I found this ribbon 75% off after Christmas, but you can also use strips of fabric, an old sheet, just about anything
Cut a bunch of 12 inch ribbon pieces or fabric strips
Tie them onto the wire in 1/2 knots
Endless possibilities here… add red for a traditional Valentine look, or black, for sexy drama… pure white would be heaven for a baby’s nursery, or make one using the bride’s colors for a shower or wedding
I loved the plain silver, but decided to add the pink and sea green chevron ribbon
Here it is hanging on a tabletop chalk board easel with a pink heart drawn on the board
A Valentine centerpiece
or vignette
You can hang it on the front door
or make several for chair backs for a or party table or Valentine meal
Tie it on a special Valentine surprise…shhh… 💝
Put a little love in your life!
