Celebration Banners: Vintage Valentine

Finished with pom-pons and tight ruffles, these vintage Valentine's scenes make a darling banner to announce that February is here. Simple burlap with painted lettering keep the message playful. 

Thank You Pinterest

If nothing else, Pinterest is good for pilfering. Or as some moms, crafters, do-it-yourselfers, and artists say, inspiration. When I ran across the monster Valentine's box posted several times I had to try a version for my own sons. They love them and I can tell they will be proud to march them into class tomorrow morning for the annual trading of meaningless scraps of paper and old-tasting candy.

I pinned the ones from Last Minute Mel, but ended up using the tutorial from Giggles Galore. I didn't use the tutorial per se. But I printed it out so that 7-year-old could make his own box. He did a great job and really only required my help when it came to cutting the foam teeth and pushing pipe cleaner through the styrofoam balls.
