Valentine Heart Tree

A couple of weeks ago, I was inspired from a Valentines Day craft over at  Pinterest.   It was a clay pot, painted red with what appeared to be, candy heart boxes painted and coming up out of the pot with ivy and bows (like the hearts were growing).  I really liked it.    I had purchased a pack of large foam hearts at my local dollar store a few weeks back.  Wasn’t sure why, but 4 for a dollar was too good to pass up.   Finally found the spot for them.

I used items on hand as I didn’t want to make it badly enough to rush out and buy things.    With this holiday being a bit special this year, I wanted to do my first V’s day craft in honor of my husband proposing to me 15 years ago on Valentines day, so this tree has meaning and I hope to use it for years to come.

I ventured up to my garden shed and found  a clay pot and 2 long bamboo sticks I had (for staking plants).  Painted  the pot white and added a few red hearts (free hand) around the top rim.  Next I found some florist foam and stuck it tightly into the pot.  I then added the 2 bamboo sticks after cutting them down a bit –and using shipping tape, I taped them all the way down so they’d support my project AND each other.

Next I realized I only had 2 glitter hearts (red) and 2 solid lighter colored red hearts.  So I painted one white and only used 3 of them.  Painting foam is easy but you must do it slow and under a good warm light so it doesn’t make the foam curl.  After a few coats of white, I knew it still need something else.

I didn’t have a stencil on hand that would work for this type project so I used an old lace curtain.  I put the dried white foam heart under the curtain and used red spray paint very carefully and lightly.  WHA LA!  A  lacy rose heart!

Next, I carefully placed the hearts (with hot glue) up the sticks staggering them and turning them opposite ways.   I then weaved a rose vine with babies breathe around the hearts.  I used red tissue to fill in around the florist foam and clear shiny shredded stuffing on top of the tissue.  Some of it even flows out of the pot.  I placed extra greenery from the left over vine around the bottom and used a bit more babies breathe to fill in the gaps.

Topped with a handmade little bow, I then realized it needed lights (I used 20 clear).  Yup, lets tacky it up even more!  😉 This tree measures 34 inches tall… almost 3 foot!  Now sometimes we are our own worst critics but I do kind of like my first real Valentines craft project.

Here is the finished Heart tree in a clay pot  ❤ ……….❤……….

I hope you enjoyed the blog.  Get creative with things you have on hand!  These could be made for any season/ holiday!  My suggestion is a bigger clay pot if you are doing one over 2 foot in height.  Again, I used what I had on hand. 

Don’t forget to show off your blog/ pinterest inspired crafts, or your own creations over at  my Facebook Page  and I’ll share them for you with a mention!  Feel free to leave a comment below as they’re linked to facebook.  Thank you for visiting! ~MISH

❤ Happy Valentine’s Day ❤
