Valentine Gumball Necklaces

I Love, Love, Love this idea! What a fun project to do with your little gal or surprise her with a necklace on Valentine's Day!

These are so stinkin' cute, I'm might just have to make one for myself too! Get the details to make your own from One Charming Party HERE

DIY Chalkboard Picture Frame

Looking for a unique and homemade Valentine's Day gift?

How about a chalkboard picture frame? Now you can leave love notes for your sweetie all year long!

First you'll need a cute assistant and a wooden picture frame. We picked this one up at Michael's for just $1. I like that it has a large area to write your message!

You'll also need a can of chalkboard spray paint (available at Michael's)

Now get spraying! I applied three coats (allow for drying in between coats)

A few rhinestone added for a sparkling finish touch and that's it!

Quick, easy & your Valentine is sure to love it!

These would also make amazing wedding favors. Attach a piece of chalk with coordinating ribbon and you've got a one-a-kind favor for your guests.

Five Fabulous Finds

This recycled wood sign from Oh Dier says it best

Paint the town red with this ah-mazing satchel from Kate Spade

DIY Vintage Signs

I adore vintage signs. Something about the nostalgia and the thought that if only they could talk... imagine the stories they could share. Have you seen the show American Pickers? I'd give anything to take a U-Haul & travel with those boys finding old vintage treasures (especially signs). Since that'll never happen, here's a great (and easy) tutorial to make your own faux vintage signs from Funky Junk Interiors. Get all the details HERE.
