How to Make a Valentine’s Day “Be Mine” Bunting

Paper banner garlands look charming everywhere, but this “Be Mine” banner is especially romantic for Valentine’s Day draped across my distressed china hutch. To make the banner, simply use the same letters and instructions that I created for the Halloween Boo Garland, but with pink instead of black. If you want to make one, you just need two sheets of pink card stock and two of white, the .ZIP file of letter templates and the instructions from the Halloween garland. Scalloped scissors and ric-rac are optional. Once you’ve got supplies, it’s only about 20 minutes from start to finish. Fun, huh?

Love, Angela

    I managed to get a pink-post up on my blog, but have no idea how to prove it to you unless you take pity on me and go look for yourself.Love the banner, and I think I’ll give it a try myself!

    What a pretty idea—hope I can remember it for next valentine in my new house. I’m going to put my hutch in my fancy schmancy laundry room/sewing room. It sounds like a crazy idea–but wait till you see what I’m doing in there. I want to play house again. I’m tired of cleaning and keeping this place ready to sell. So I come here and watch you do your magic!!! You are brightening my days while I’m in that between house scenario!! Thank you

    I just love that hutch. I loved it when you showed it to us new and I love the distressed look you’ve given it and I *really* love that it’s in your living room now! I am just all about the love today – it is Valentine’s Day after all.I have been scouring Craigslist, yardsales and thrift stores for my own inexpensive hutch and haven’t been lucky like you were yet. I love the fabulous finds from thrifting but sometimes I am just not very patient.

    Beautiful! I always have a stack of 3 quilts in my armoire. I have a quilt collection and showcase in the armoire quilts that are in colors that match the room and the season. How nice to see quilts in a china hutch with glass doors!~ Arleen

    Love your hutch. I hope to do the same to my hutch, and to think I almost sold it at a garage sale.
