Valentine ADVENT Tree
I made this VALENTINE ADVENT Tree for my kids yesterday. There are “14” heart boxes on the tree tied with ribbon. At the end of Jan. I will fill them each with 3 different v-day treats and some with sweet love notes to my kiddos. They all will get to count down the “14” days until love day by removing a box off the tree and seeing whats inside for each of them. Believe it or not my 9 year old sons two favorite holiday’s are Christmas and Valentines. I asked him why V-day? he said “because everyone is in love and you get alot of Valentines!” LOVE THAT BOY! for now the tree sits pretty on my table.
P.S. I think I may be over doing it here on CraftOManiac with the V-DAY Crafts I won’t show any until mid-next week… HA!
So I got the little heart “favor” boxes in the wedding section at Roberts Crafts. So I had this idea last year, but never got around to it, so I have been super anxious to do it this year. The favor boxes come with 24 for $9.99 and then I used my 40% off coupon. I grabbed one extra roll of ribbon and the rest of the stuff I had at home. The tree is some old branches I tore off of an old dead tree in the desert. RECYCLE! HA!
and here are the boxes made with tied ribbon. I am adding this new teal like blue to my decor this year, and I am loving it.
even though the tree looked cute with the treat boxes, it needed more. So I cut out different size hearts from my Cricut using the “Platinum Schoolbook” cartridge. I hammered holes in each one to thread ribbon through to tie in knots and hang on the tree.
LIKE SO!
THEN I spaced out the hanging goodies and placed them and re-moved and re-placed them and had fun decorating it!
Cute lil tree I love the idea.
I love this idea! I am going to “steal” that idea and make one for my little girl! Thanks for sharing!

Very cute! I’m just taking down Christmas stuff today and was looking at my advent calendar thinking how I’d like to make it into a V-day countdown calendar! So fun to see I’m not the only one! I just sort of skip right over New Years. ha!
First time I’ve seen your blog. Very cute! Coming from Glimpse Inside party and just became a follower.

I love this look. So neat, I am so looking forward to making items like this once I have some kids around.
What really also caught my idea was the hutch in the background…super adorable. Where did you get your hands on those heart shaped containers, I really like the clean-cuttness(I know not a real word) of them along with the colors.
Have a great new year!
This tree is so adorable! What a great idea. Also congratulations on the upcoming one year anniversary of your blog. That’s awesome!
That’s way cute! Love your idea!
Darling Darling Darling!! It’s so cute and Festive!!
Uau, I love it! Happy New Year for you and your family!

Great idea!!! And I love how you added blue to your Valentine decor. I may have to give that a try as well this year. Still haven’t decided which direction I’m going for Valentine’s Day. Heck, my Christmas decor is still up.
What a great idea! You have inspired me to head to the storage building to pull out my Valentines decor!
Thank you for participating in the very first Masterpiece Monday! I hope you’ll come back again, it was fun having you share! Take care, Mary
