Simple DIY Valentine's Decor Ideas

Who doesn't love to decorate even a small corner of your home for Valentine's Day? It's pretty simple and inexpensive, with so many things around that are already red or pink, and putting them together to create a festive little celebration of the day of love.

Here are a few photos we hope will inspire you to create your own Valentine's decor.

Join our Valentine's Day Post Party! Email your Valentine's decor photos to kyra@thesundaypaperie.com and we'll be featuring submissions in our Valentine's Day Post Party on February 14 (one month from today!).


We love this sweet dessert table. Perfect for about 8-10 guests, there is a small cutting cake, then a great assortment of cookies, Rumchata shots, truffles, rice pudding, and cupcakes. While it'd be a bit time-consuming, how about all of those envelopes creating the backdrop for the dessert table?



L-O-V-E Giant Scrabble Tiles -- so easy. Home Depot will Cut wood into 4" squares upon request, then just paint on the letters (and tile points number) of your choosing! We love these for other holidays as well.
 
 

Chipboard Letters from Hobby Lobby, painted with a red base and white vine design, stand up for love on this tablescape. To get the same thickness these letters have, glue together two or three of the chipboard letters together to make a thicker letter. The vase is filled with red M&Ms and topped with red carnations. This would also look great made with red marbles or crystals as the vase filler.
 
 

We found these twine-wrapped candles on a fun blog, Crafty Scrappy Happy.
 
 

Pretty Pinks! Submerges silk flowers of pink tulips, orchids, and cherry blossoms bring an elegant element to decorating for Valentine's Day.


Floating fresh cranberries topped with dyed carnations in clear water glasses are a great way to brighten up a corner with this holiday spirit. A grouping of 6-8 of these would be great for a centerpiece as well.
 

A 12" x 12" square of scrapbooking paper is a festive placemat for your Valentine's party table.

Instant Pot Spaghetti and Meat Sauce 

Raise your hand if you LOVE washing dishes? Yes? Then this recipe isn't for you. Because dinner is done in one pot. Set it and forget it while you change into something more comfortable after a long day. Ingredients: 1 lb. ground beef 1/2 onion, diced 2 c broth or water 3 c (24 ounces) pasta sauce (marinara or tomato sauce recommended) 1 lb. any pasta (I used whole wheat high protein spaghetti) 2 T Italian Seasoning 1 t Onion Powder 1 t Garlic Powder 1/2 t salt 1/4 t black pepper Instructions: Set your pot to "Saute" and cook the ground beef, breaking up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Add the onion to the ground beef and they will cook together. Once it is cooked through (about 4-5 min), do not drain out the fat. **If you prefer to use frozen meatballs, skip the above steps, start with the meatballs in the bottom of your pot, then go from here:  Mix in all seasoning (Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper) Layer in ...

Instant Pot Chicken Marsala

Day two with my Crock-Pot Express (CPE), aka Instant Pot. Tonight, we are making Chicken Marsala, one of The Captain's favorites. Since I'm preparing to get back into the 21 Day Fix starting on January 15 (with the new 80 Day Obsession plan!), I'm going to enjoy the chicken and green beans only, while the rest of the family will have egg noodles with their chicken.

Kira's Baking-Inspired Bridal Shower

While I have a fabulous job professional planning events, it's even more fun when I get to personally host an event for a friend.
