I love making things. I’m definitely creative at heart. In December, I made the Christmas wreath for our front door from $3 worth of Dollar Tree finds, so for Valentine’s Day, I headed to Dollar Tree again to find ideas.
I present you with the Easy Peasy $2 Valentine Door Decor that is so simple ANYONE can do it. Ready?
Go to Dollar Tree and find these sets of glitter hearts, one red and one pink. If you don’t have a Dollar Tree in your area, check around other stores for something like these.
Arrange your hearts in any format you want. You cannot mess this up! You arrange the hearts the way YOU want. Then hot glue them together. (I have a cheap glue gun I bought at Walmart. No need to spend a lot of money on one, the cheap ones work great.)
Then punch a hole in the top heart where you want to thread a ribbon to hang them from. This scary looking device is called a Crop-a-dile. It punches holes and sets eyelets in place. But you can use just a regular hole puncher.
Thread your ribbon and then hang it from your door. Ta-da!
Okay, if you’re not like me and don’t have a big cookie tin full of random ribbon, you might need to spend another $1 on some to hang your hearts. But don’t worry, Dollar Tree also has some cute Valentine’s themed ribbons right by the glitter hearts.
A word of advice: These hearts are made of cardboard, so I would not recommend putting them on a door where you don’t have a storm door or a porch roof to protect them from rain. If you have a laminating machine, you can try laminating them before hanging them up to make them a little more water resistant.
You’ll also have a few hearts leftover. I made a red-pink-red combo for the front door, and pink-red-pink combo for the back, and I still have a few hearts left. You can add them to the craft project if you want, or save them for future projects!
