Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm not a big fan of the color pink or cheesy greeting cards or many other things associated with Valentine's Day (though I do like chocolate), but I am a fan of showing the people I love that I appreciate them.

So in an effort to do just that I got out the pink construction paper and a very outdated New York travel guide and started cutting. Using a little bit of ribbon, a glue stick and a few paper hearts, I made cards for a few close friends.

So Happy Valentine's Day to all of you (or in the words of Liz Lemon, "Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day!") Use this overly commercialized day to show people you love them instead of expecting someone else to bring you red roses.

Wine Bottle Candle Holders- DIY Valentines Day Craft

I saw a version of these in a magazine and had a crafty crush.

All I had to pick up were the candles.

The rest is...
-wrapping paper
-ribbon
-"bling" stickers

I used left over wrapping paper from Christmas to fit around the bottle.

Attaching it with double sided tape and glueing the ribbons on snug was the most difficult part.

The bling stickers were spaced evenly along the candle.

The candle I broke in half, because of its height. Then wedged it into the bottles opening.


This would be oh so romantic on a table set for Valentine's Day dinner!
