My one and only Valentine!

No...don't get excited.   I have not met my dream man. 

Actually, let's be honest...I've not met ANY man. LOL

The ONE would mean....my one and only Valentine craft.

Yeah, Valentine's is not really my 'holiday'. 

Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed looking at everyone else's crafts and all.  But I think something about being divorced and single for, oh, like seven years probably plays into my V-Day bah-humbug-ism. ;)

But in the spirit of blogging, I did do one craft.

I bought this plain wood heart at Michael's last month.  I didn't know what I would do with it, but I figured it might inspire a little Valentine craft.

And once I finally decided to work on it, the idea came to me.

First, I painted the heart with red craft paint...I planned to cover the heart with burlap, but I knew the red would show through a bit.

So, of course the next step was to cover the red painted heart with burlap. 

I used Modge Podge. 

This scared me!!!

I swore you could use MP on fabric...but when it looked like goopy white glue, I panicked!

But I figured at this point if it didn't work, it was too late to do much about it.  So, I waited for it to dry.  And thank goodness, once it dried it was perfect!! :)

Then I used 2 small sheets of red felt I picked up from the kids craft section at Wal-Mart for like $ .30 each.  I cut out circles, using the bottom of the Modge Podge container as my circle template.  I'm not going to show you how I made these, because let's be honest, everyone in blogland has already made them...I'm slow on the uptake. LOL

I just hot glued the flowers to the outside of the heart (and covers the rough edges of the burlap).

It was okay, but it felt a little too plain to me.  So, what to do?

Add some leopard print ribbon of course!! :)

First i just added the hoop to hang it by, but then I decided to try to hand at making a flower.  So using ribbon I already had...here is my finished, one and only Valentine Day decor. :)

Excuse my awful pink background...it's on white poster board so I have NO idea why it turned pink.

There it is people!!  My extent of Valentine decor.  I know your impressed. LOL

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
