Wow the one you love with DIY clay Valentine hearts and garland!

DIY Clay Hearts and Garland for Valentine's Day - So Much Better With Age

You probably know by now that I’m not a big crazy fan of red and love neutrals so this clay heart garland is perfect for decorating for Valentine’s Day in a neutral way.

And I love pink too so I added a few pink touches to these clay tags. These clay hearts and tags are easy and fun to make for Valentine’s Day and have less calories than chocolate, ha!

Here’s what you’ll need.

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click to read my full disclosure policy.

SUPPLIES:

  • oven bake clay (I used this brand)
  • rolling pin
  • cookie cutters
  • alphabet stamps
  • different tools around the house to make any design you want
  • cookie sheet
DIY Clay Valentine Hearts and Garland / supplies - So Much Better With Age

TUTORIAL:

1. Play with your clay until it becomes soft. Roll it out on a flat surface with a rolling pin (roll it out onto parchment paper then you can put the parchment paper on a baking sheet with the clay).

2. Cut  into desired shapes. Use different tools or textures to create unique pieces.

3. If you running string through them, poke a hole at the top.

4. Smooth edges with your fingers before baking.

5. Follow the directions on the package. I baked mine at 275 deg F for 30 minutes.

6. Let cool. Color, paint, draw on your clay!

I love how it turned out! I left my large hearts white because, well, I love white.

For the clay banner, I used a fine pink felt to fill in the hearts and arrows I made.

For this heart,  I pressed twine around the edges.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you?

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .
