DIY Valentine’s Day Tree

We love how Brittany at The House that Lars Built has made our dining room space design ready for Valentine’s Day. This DIY for a Scandinavian branch tree is so charming and whimsical you might have to find a new spot for it after the holiday is over. For a full tutorial on this how to make this easy DIY Valentine’s Day Tree see below.

Materials:

• Various shades of pink and red papers. I added in some pink vellum and glitter paper.
• scissors
• Pink and white baker’s twine
• White vase or pitcher (find a similar one here)
• Branches
• White spray paint
• Clip on birds
• Heart punch

Steps:

1. Spray paint the branches white and let it dry.
2. Follow the instructions here to make the 3D paper hearts below
3. Make a hook on the edge by tying the end of it.
4. Put the dry branches in a vase and spread them out.
5. Hang the hearts from the branches
6. Clip the birds from the branches

1. Once you’ve punched out all your hearts, cut from the bottom of the heart 1/2″ and another heart from the top of the middle of the heart about the same length.
2. Slide a piece of twine from the bottom of the incised heart.
3. Tie the twine at the top of the heart. Leave a few inches at the top to be able to hang it on the branches.
4. Insert the second heart piece from the bottom so that it forms the heart shape.
