If you're like Junque Hunk & I,  we are more likely to avoid the Valentine crowds and choose dinner in for a romantic occasion but my craft lovin' heart can't settle for it feeling like just another family dinner... so I went to work creating a tablescape for two.

I created Valentine Placemats, customized a lantern and included some yarn wrapped hearts to set the seen for a fun feast. Most of the projects are very easy and you will blow is mind with this sweet romantic gesture. 

Plaid Painted Placemats

This project turned out so cute and I can see this in a variety of colors from Black & white check for everyday to a multi colored pastel version for Easter - so many possibilities. 

The supplies for the wood placemats: 12x14 wood base, painters tape, paint in the colors of your choice, and paint brushes - that's it!

 Valentine Lantern Project

You probably already have a lantern or frame you can transform with this fun project. We used Chalk Couture to stencil right onto glass. The best part - you DO NOT need a vinyl cutting machine at all to tackle this so check it out so you can be transforming all things with the amazing capabilities.

Yarn Wrapped Hearts Project

This one is so easy that my little neice helped me out! You just cut out hearts (we used a cookie cutter for the shape) from styrofaom, or even cardstock & wrap with your favorite color yarn. 

It has a simple & cozy feel for my mantle.
