99 Cent Store Valentines Day

January 27, 2017January 26, 20179 Comments

Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a wonderful week because it is almost the weekend! Does anyone have any exciting plans for the weekend?

Well as you may know, Valentines Day is coming up in 2.5 weeks and we all need to start the major pink and red, hearts and love decoration fest! And for me, being a broke college student, the 99 Cent Store is a great place to pick up decorations.

And boy, do they have a lot of stuff! Lots of pink and red colored hearts, boxes, and signs. So, I bought some stuff to help decorate my roommate and my apartment.

The first thing I bought was this cute little white sign. I thought it was really simple and pretty and it goes perfectly under our cute family board.

The next thing was the awesome XOXO sign. I love the different colors and that it is on a black background, not white. It looks great on the table, even if the cats don’t agree.

Next…is this adorable little mailbox! It is tin and it’s probably supposed to hold candy, but maybe I will send secret messages to my roommate. Or I will just keep looking adorable right inside my door.

Now onto yet another sign. This cute little arrow sign is perfect for any room of the house. I love it in my room on my bookshelf. Because, arrows are still in style right????

And, onto the door. I bought this red heart sash thingy that I wrapped around my wreath. It looks great and is very festive for Valentines Day.

Finally, this cute little box. I bought it to fill with candy for my roommate for Valentines Day since we are both single.

Maybe we will celebrate Galentines Day……..

Valentine Pixy Stix Flower Vase & Blog Hop

Valentine's-Day-Blog-Hop-Budget-Crafts

Hello everyone! Thank you for joining me for the Valentine’s Day Blog Hop! I’ve joined with 13 other talented bloggers to share Valentine’s Day crafts on a budget. Each blogger was given a budget of no more than $10 and challenged to create a Valentine’s Day craft using items from the dollar store or dollar section of their local stores. If you have budget Valentine’s Day crafts to share, please add it to the link-up at the bottom of this post so it can be seen on all of our blogs.

For my Valentine Budget Craft, I made a Pixy Stix Flower Vase. So simple too!

I bought what I needed from the Dollar Tree and used some things I already had. Here is what you will need:

Pixy Stix or any other long candy- I bought 2 bags so I would be sure to have enough of red, purple and blue. $2.00
A tin can-I used some beans for dinner and cleaned the can and removed the label.
Styrofoam ball or square- I had some of these from Christmas, but I know I have seen square pieces at the Dollar Tree. $1.00
Silk Flowers-(2) Pink Tulips, (2) pinkish fuzzy ball things, (1) pink berry-$5.00
Ribbon-I had mine, but they had some cute designs at the store. $1.00

I first sorted through my Pixy Stix and pulled out the colors I wanted to use. I put them into the pattern I wanted and then started hot gluing them onto the can.

Once my candy went all the way around, I pushed the styrofoam ball into the can.

I used wire cutters to cut each stem of flowers off the big part on the end.

I arranged them in the can by pushing them into the styrofoam ball. I placed a taller tulip in the middle and then placed shorter ones all around it. Next I filled in with the fuzzy balls and lastly, added the berries. I used the green spiky leaves that came with the flowers to fill in any empty spaces. After the arranging was done, I added a pink bow around the middle of the can.
