Add some fun Valentine's Day flair to your tired mantel with this easy, cute and flirty DIY. Not only is this craft cute, it's super budget-friendly, costing less than $25 to make and assemble! That leaves you more money for some sassy lingerie or fancy French champagne!

Supplies:

Burlap
Scissors
6 lace heart doilies
Glitter paint

Mod Podge glue
Paint brush
Glue gun
Twine or ribbon

Instructions:

Cut burlap into even-sized rectangles

Cut the burlap into even-sized rectangles, using the first one as a template for the rest. Make sure the rectangle is large enough for the heart to fit comfortably in the center.

Paint doilies with glue and glitter

Mix the glue with the colored glitter in a shallow bowl (each color needs a separate bowl).

Paint the center of the hearts with the glittered glue. Then, immediately sprinkle the glue with additional glitter.

Glue hearts to burlap

Paint glue to the back of the heart (the opposite side that is not glittered) and stick to the burlap. Hold the doily down so it sticks to the burlap, then let it dry.

Glue burlap to twine or ribbon

Lay the hearts out as you would like them to appear on the twine.

Using a hot glue gun, glue the burlap to the twine, holding it down so it sticks.

You might want to do this part outside so the glue doesn't get on anything else. Repeat until all of the hearts are hung. Then, hang your banner on your mantel and enjoy!
