Valentine Mantel by Simply Creating Home














Have you had a chance to make cornstarch dough stamped hearts ?  I just loved how fun it was to work with the dough.  I suppose it brings back good memories of playing with Playdoh as a child!  The simple hearts I created with the dough turned out so well, I’m using them on all sorts of things.
My hurricane votive's worked great for a base for tying them on.  I found the plaid cotton fabric in my fabric stash and loved all of the pastel colors. I ripped strips that were about 1/4 inch wide across the width of the fabric.

For my large votive, I tied a bow and then tied on two hearts that had a single hole.  One heart I cut using my larger heart cookie cutter on just the swirled dough. The second smaller heart I stamped with my word stamp while the dough was a lighter pink and used the mini heart cutter.

  2. I love this mantel! I think it may be not only because it's adorable, but because I also just love Valentine's decor <3
    Wish I had a fireplace to decorate! My husband made me some shelves as a stand in mantel. Thanks for finding me via Todd Starnes!
