VALENTINES DIY

Hey guys and welcome back to my channel. In today's video I will be walking you through a couple different DIYs to help you get ready for Valentine's Day. I can't believe we're already talking about it but it is just a month away so I figured it's a good time to start getting ready for it. The first one we will be doing is this little pom-pom garland and all you need is some yarn, a fork, and some scissors. As you can see here I am just wrapping this yarn around my fork several times but you also want it to be kind of loose. I probably wrapped the fork about 40 to 50 times just because I wanted these pom-poms to be a little bit bigger. And then to finish them off I cut off a string that was about eight inches. I stuck it through the bottom of the fork and then came back around through the top middle. So you want to stick it through the bottom middle of the fork and then around through the top middle and then you will tie it together. You'll slide it off the fork and then you're going to cut all the loops. Now you can see here I'm just cutting off all the little stragglers to cut it into more of a round shape. Then I will be tying this to a string. I also grabbed some white yarn. As you can see here I have a little cardstock heart and I'm just going to be wrapping this several times. There's really no rhyme or reason to how I'm going to be wrapping this but I basically wrapped it until I couldn't see any cardstock. I just thought this would be a cute touch to my garland so I stuck a couple of these hearts but I also made a couple of these little white pom-poms and I made them a lot smaller. When I put them on the fork I wrapped it a little bit less just so I would have different sizes on my garland strand. Now moving on to this little Valentine's tree. All I did was grab a foam cone and I'm going to be wrapping this over and over and over again with this yarn. I don't know why I was so into this yarn but I did use it for just about every single project so this one bundle of yarn cost me about three dollars at Joann's. I got it for 50% off so normally it was $5.99. Every once in a while I stuck hot glue in there just to really secure it. Then I went in with some white yarn and then wrapped a few strands over the top of that. Then to finish off the look I wanted to have a couple hearts on there so I used some felt. I cut out a couple pink and white hearts. I did not use all of these. I am saving them for another project you'll see here in just a second. Now moving on to the next one. I picked up this vase at a thrift store for just 75 cents and I'll be spray painting this white just like I did in my previous video. Then I went outside and I cut off a little branch from our tree and then I'm just gonna hot glue these little hearts onto the tree in just random little spaces but I feel like this is one of my favorite ones out of all the projects that I did today and it was definitely on the easier side. I think this was the easiest one that I did. Now moving on to my little XO. I just picked up some paint sticks and I'm going to be wrapping them with some jute twine that I picked up at the dollar store. All I'm going to do is be wrapping this around the paint sticks until they are fully covered and I did use hot glue just at the ends to make sure that the ends were secure. I'm going to be doing the same thing with this O. The O is just a cross stitch ring and I'll be wrapping this one with the pink yarn. Okay guys, well that's everything for today's video. I hope something that I did today inspired you to go out and make your own craft. Thank you guys so much for watching and we'll see you in the next video.
