Now I have to admit, that I was totally inspired by my friend Megan at Our Pinteresting Family, when she made this.....
Ombre Valentine Decoration |
Isn't that pretty??!! She used shredded paper, which I thought was genius! I love her projects! If you are looking for some Valentine Inspiration, she's cranking out plenty of it over at her blog for you. Check it out!
I didn't have any pink colored paper that I could shred, but I had candy. I always have candy. And this candy came in red, 2 shades of pink and some white.....perfect for an ombre project!
After sorting them (I'll admit to eating some during this process), I put them in the glass and then stared at it for a while. I decided to add some embellishment to the stem.
A pink ribbon, a charm and a jump ring, to which I added a few pink beads.
I think that in my house, this will end up being a very temporary decoration....because I like candy.
Thank you Megan for the sweet inspiration!

That is just perfect, Danni! I think this would be a temporary decoration in my house too. But it's so cute and sweet. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is going on my table for Valentine's Day. In fact, I think I'm going to do a wine glass for each setting. Since I'm a sugar addict, I'll have to go with the shredded paper for decorating until then. The candy wouldn't last a day in a house with me in it!
ReplyDeleteThis candy dish is so inviting! Leave it to me to want the ones on the bottom! How cute is this!!! And I love the last photo. It looks like it should be featured in a magazine with the black background highlighting everything. Tells us more about how to did this.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, Danni! But, my hands won't be able to stay out of there {and don't let me start with the kids..lol} I love the little detail around the stem :-)
ReplyDeleteNot eating, testing for quality control!
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty, Megan's was very pretty as well, with Madeleine neither would last at my place, she'd want to play with the pretty shredded paper and eat the chocolate - I need some high shelves!
This is gorgeous dear Danni! Love the colors, and the photos, and the fact that it is candy :-)

Love it Danni! It's so sweet! I'll have to pop over and check out Megan's.
ReplyDeleteW O W ! That is so cute! The touch of ribbon and beading is just perfect. I especially love the last photo. -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
ReplyDeleteA really simple and artsy Vday project...and pretty enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteOh this is so sweet and cute. I would have a very temporary decoration as well,....mmmmmm, candy.
ReplyDeleteperfect!!
ReplyDeleteThis would make a sweet gift for your Valentine. I am afraid I would eat the decoration before Feb. 14th arrived. Are they M&M's?
ReplyDeleteCandy and pretty? And simple? You have hit the trifecta. So fun, Danni!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet idea, I once tried this for the Mad Tea Party but yours looks better :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, love the charm!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! The charm is a very nice touch. That would be a nice gift! I'm with Donna...the candy would be gone by Valentine's Day for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! Thanks so much for sharing on Super Sweet Saturday.

Such SWEET Valentine's Day decor ideas and inspiration! I'd mess up the m&m ombre in a day...I'd be digging in, eating them ;) Love your V-Day decor posts!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of putting pretty candy in wine goblets and beautiful glasses. It just adds a bit more to the decoration!
