What You Will Need:
- Sticks 2. Low VOC spray paint
- Recycled paper. I used sheet music, but you could use book pages, magazine pages, or newspaper, too.
- Scissors
- A pencil
- Hot glue/hot glue gun
- A large jar or vase
How To Do It:
- Go outside and find a group of sticks. Make sure you find ones that have a few branches attached– this will make your arrangement seem full.
- Lay your sticks out on a drop cloth and spray paint them red. You might have to do several coats and rotate them a couple of times to get full coverage. Remember with spray paint that several light coats will give you better results than one heavy coat.
- While your sticks dry, draw lots of various-sized hearts on your recycled paper.
- Cut them out. (Optional: color your hearts pink for even more colorful fun!)
- Once your sticks are completely dry, arrange them in a large jar or vase. Then, hot glue the paper hearts to the branches.
Isn’t it adorable? I hope to have a Valentine’s Day get-together (my annual “All the Single Ladies” party– yes, be jealous) to show off this cutie along with my new Valentine’s Day recycled wreath.
