You don’t want to be just finishing up your Thanksgiving posts in February.

,,,and it’s lots of fun!.I may need to come up with a post on how to clean glue stick off of walls!This little part of our living room was looking pretty darn sad after we got all the Christmas stuff taken down and put away a couple of weeks ago.

After I finished painting that genius (if I do say so myself!).square of paint on the wall.to make the area feel a little bit more detailed and richer, we got to work adding some easy Valentine’s Day-style decorations..

It all started with the big felt X’s and O’s.We cut them out to the size of full sheets of felt and then ironed them onto our newly-prettified wall using.

my starching method.. We draped this.

red and kraft paper chain.For this little one I made to go across my fantel (fake mantel!

), I used 16 eggs.. Once you’ve got your eggs all set, you’ll probably need to make the holes on each end a little bigger, just for ease of stringing.You can easily do this using a push pin.. (Thank you to my daughter for letting me photograph her dirty fingernails while she helped me!).

Next, grab some twine or ribbon and start stringing!I used natural jute twine, but anything will work..
