Green gifts: Mini flower pot for gift.

Hi TKB readers!

It’s me Lauren and as promised last week, I have a great Valentine’s DIY to share today! I am super excited about this one because it is not your typical Valentine’s craft project. (Not to mention, it can do double duty as wedding escort cards, or table decor for your reception! Just food for thought:) I am all about embracing what you truly love and to be honest, we all can’t love hearts and chocolates and pink all the time (well, maybe we can always love chocolates). But the hearts and pink can get a little old or overdone so I decided to embrace a different type of Valentine’s inspiration this year. So today I bring to you: V-Day…desert style!

To me, the desert is all about the colors and textures. So I drew inspiration from the natural color scheme and desert plants. Inexpensive materials like burlap, kraft paper, and jute twine are perfect for this desert look. Use burlap to quickly make bunting or mini flags. Stamp a personal message onto kraft paper, wrap with twine, and adorn with a paper feather to make a non-traditional Valentine’s greeting. Mason jars and succulents make up the perfect gift. Mini cacti would work great too. Nothing says love like a plant that can survive despite periods of plant-owner neglectfulness (definitely speaking for myself here…I have yet to kill my succulents!).

What type of Valentine’s Day are you having? Are you all about the traditional, the reds, the pinks, the hearts? Or is something like this more your style, something different? Personally, I’m all about both! But honestly for me, Valentine’s Day is not about the candy (I wait for those chalky candy hearts every year!) or the heart paraphernalia but about spending time with those I love. Our family and friends should always know how we feel about them, but it’s nice to use a holiday like Valentine’s Day as an excuse to make those around us feel extra loved. So go give some love today!
