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

I agree totally! No chocolate in my candy dishes!
I love your pink hobnail planter! I dont' think I've ever seen anything but white befors.

That's cute Pam. I know what you mean about candy disappearing from jars. At least it does at my house.

I love jar vignettes. That African violet is beautiful!

What a cute vignette! This would be a great one for me to do. I wouldn't even eat all of the candy out of it. I've got the perfect pink depression glass cookie jar for it.
I think you can get a leprechaun in time for St. Patrick's day if you start now. Just put the empty jar outside with the lid off and a leprechaun may wander in. Or if that plan fails, you may be able to find one for sale online.

That's a multi purpose jar!! I remember it from Christmas, looks just as nice for Valentines!!

I seriously cannot find a candy I will not eat if I am craving sugar-I am craving sugar often my friend. Love this idea. I actually found a vintage Valentine today-aren't you proud of me? Must have got it at an estate sale.
Linda @ A La Carte
I am laughing about the candy because that is so true! If it's not candy I like it will last in the vignette. I really like your jar. I think my Mom has one like that, hmmmm wonder if I can 'borrow' it next time I visit her!
hugs, Linda
