Do you like to decorate for Valentine’s Day? Buying my own house meant that I had to step up my holiday decorating game. I often change out the fireplace mantle with seasonal decor. Today I’m making these easy DIY Valentine’s Day luminaries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is a super simple DIY decor idea. You can even get the kids involved with this one. You only need a couple basic supplies and tools. All of these can be found\u00a0at the dollar store.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To make a Valentine’s Day luminary place a cooker cutter on a paper bag. Trace the outline of the cookie cutter onto the bag. You can use any shape you want here just make sure you can cut it out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take a pair of scissors and cut the shape out of the paper bag. You can also use a craft knife for more intricate designs. I kept my design towards the upper portion of the bag so that the tea light candle didn’t show through the opening.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After you cut out the piece you can leave it as is or add some vellum or a doily behind the open area. If you add colored tissue paper, the heart will with a slightly different color. If you add an extra piece just make sure it is nice and thin so light can still pass through.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Turn on a flameless tea light and drop it into the paper bag. Now dim the lights and let it glow! These luminaries emit a very warm and calming glow. Perfect for a romantic DIY Valentine’s Day decoration.<\/p>\n
