I am in LOVE with this next Valentines Day craft project for my fireplace mantle!
***
How cute it this planter with pictures of your loved ones displayed???? I wanted something on my mantle with a little bit of height and I love being able to incorporate pictures of my kids in my projects too! Super easy to make and not expensive at all!
***
Here is what you will need:
– Flower pot (I happened to have this one already but you can buy them at any craft store or sometimes dollar stores.)
– Vinyl, letter stickers or paint – I used vinyl and my Cricut Machine
– Branches – from my yard
– Floral foam or Styrofoam
– Scatters (optional)
– Paper bag (optional)
– Pictures
– Stickers
***
My flower pot was already white but if yours isn’t the first thing you will do is paint it white and let it dry completely.
***
I cut out the word Love and some circles for my polka dots to put on the planter. Don’t have a Cricut Machine? Don’t worry! You can use letter stickers to spell out Love or you can paint everything on.
***
I placed the word love in the middle of the planter and placed my polka dots all around.

Next you want to take a piece of floral foam or Styrofoam and fit it in the bottom of the planter. Take your branches and measure to see how high you want them. Snap them to the size you want (they snap easily in this cold weather) and arrange them in the foam.

Then take your paper bag and tear it up and place it around your branches for fill in the space in your planter. I then took heart scatters that I found at Dollar Tree and placed them on top to give it a finished look.

Next you will take your pictures and cut them to size. I used some wallets and I also used an old Christmas card and cut pictures out of it. I used some cute foam glitter stickers I found at the dollar store and added them to my pictures.
***
Finally you just need to arrange your pictures and attach them to the branches with clothes pins. I found these cute little ones with hearts in the dollar spot at Target.
