Valentine heart DIY

This Valentines, I have been inspired by so many
great ideas on Pinterest.
I had recently snapped some photos of a friend 
for Valentines day and
in her photos I used a heart
that I had cut out from some poster board.
Using the heart that I had already cut out,
I thought about some things I had seen on 
Pinterest and decided to throw together a vintage version.
I took old coffee filters I already had and started 
crumpling them up then hot gluing them to the 
poster board. Easy Peasy.
I was short about three filters, so I just took some white
tissue paper and crumpled that and stuck it on.
I am all about being crafty but I don't have a lot
of free time to spare so I do things on the fly.
Then I decided I wanted to tea stain it.
I made some tea and then put that in a spray bottle,
went outside and sprayed a light coat and then let the sun bake it.
I did that a few items to get it the color I wanted. 
That's it.
I had all the items at home already and it took 
no time at all to complete.
I hot glued some yarn to the back to I could
hang it up.

I think it is just the sweetest. I had made some paper bunting
and just draped that over it and there you go.
 There are some amazingly creative bloggers
out there offering free Valentine printable's on Pinterest.

Would love for you to share what you are doing for Valentines day.
