I have another super duper quick and easy Valentine's Day decor idea for you. And there's only 3 steps involved.
Valentine's Day Decor Jar
Supplies:
- Anchor Hocking cracker jar (can be found at Walmart, Amazon or most craft stores)
- Cinnamon hearts
- Vintage Valentine image
Instructions:
- Take a jar.
- Put a bag of cinnamon hearts in the bottom.
- Plop in a copy of a vintage Valentine postcard.
Instant red hot romance. OK, that might be going a bit far. Instant vignette, at least.
And the great part of this decor idea is that the red hot hearts hold the valentine up. Sort of like little sandbags.
You could substitute Valentine M&M's for the jar, but those are too much of a temptation to me. You gotta use a candy that you don't love more than life itself or you're just asking for it to be refilled constantly.
BTW, this is the same jar I used in December for a snowy scene.
I'm already searching for pint sized leprechauns for St. Patty's Day.
Another Valentine's Day craft you might enjoy is my Thrifty And Super Easy Valentine's Day Garland

Hi Pam! I was super excited to go back and find this post on my Valentine Pinterest board, knowing that I had everything I needed to complete it -- even the very same jar! I didn't have the jar out for 24 hours before I found my husband reaching for a snack! I was dumbfounded. The cinnamon candies aren't really a temptation for me... guess I thought they wouldn't be for anyone else either. *wrong. Still loved the idea, but may need to rework it a little since we can't seem to walk by candy around here. LOL

New to your blog and wonder where you got the jar or what size it is I really love the idea of changing it out for different seasons/holidays

They sell them at Walmart in the food storage area (where they have canisters for your counter) and I've seen them at Hobby Lobby also. And oddly enough I saw some in the dollar bins at Target the other day, except they were much smaller. Hope you can find them, they come in handy!

I love this jar idea. I can think of a million fun scenes I can create. Thank you!

Adorable...agree, I'm thinking of "banning" M&M's at my house...especially the peanut butter ones. Dangerous!!

So cute, and great strategy on the candy jar. Afterall, it is a single serving jar, right? 🙂

So pretty Pam. It's the little things that make me smile.

Pam, you are hilarious, but oh so correct. I would come down the following morning and my jar would surely have been emptied, too. Red Hots are the way to go! Love your sense of wit 😉
