My February Tiered Tray

I had fun decorating my tiered tray with Valentine decorations. For ideas I watched several YouTube videos. To keep the cost down I shopped my local Dollar Tree and picked up several unpainted wood items, including the tray with heart shaped cut outs, a mini wood crate, 2 small bird houses, and the word, 'cute" sign.

The Valentines' decorations I purchased included glittered heart picks, red and pink, small glittered red hearts, pink foam roses, tiny painted (red, pink and gold) wood heart picks, and small wood rose cut outs. The red mug also came from the Dollar Tree.

A small bird house and a XOXO sign tucked in on the bottom tier

Red Glittered Hearts in an antique half pint jar.

The picket fence and ladder are made from craft sticks. I used a small miter box to cut the fence pieces. Both fence and ladder are painted with Antique White paint.

The little berry wreaths came from my box of Christmas floral supplies. They were 12" stems I twisted into the small wreaths.

All of the silk roses came from my stash of silk flowers. The small flowerpots are 2.5" terra cotta pots, I painted them pink. They were purchased from Amazon.

I purchased several bead garlands from Walmart's Christmas Clerance sale. I got six gray and white garlands for $3.00 each. To make my red, pink and white bead garland, I disassembled one of the bead garlands and painted over the gray beads with pink and red paint for the pink and red beads. I attached a flower embellished wood heart at one end of my garland and made a tassel with a red checked ribbon for the other end. There is another tiny flower embellished wood heart on the base tier.

Mr. B cut out wood rectangles, squares and house shapes for me. I created

a few painted signs from them.

The fabric hearts are made of cotton ticking and wool felt. Behind the small cotton and felt hearts is a larger heart with a heart shaped crocheted heart doily. Behind the red felt heart is an embroidered heart pincushion. It is a part of my "Forever in My Heart" pattern, which can be purchased from my Etsy Shop. The stitchery is behind the tiered tray, on the right side.
