Valentine’s Clothespin Wreath and Candle Holder

January 18, 2013 by Holly Gagnon 23 Comments

My blog pal Jill, from Every Day is an Occasion is hosting Craft for a Cause,  a fundraiser event benefiting heart disease in her local community.  You can read all about the cause HERE.

Since I am her blog bestie, she asked expected me to donate a craft item for auction along with some decorations for the event.   I  decided to make Valentine’s Clothespin Wreath and Candle Holder for the auction.  I know….Oooh Ahh….Who wouldn’t want to bid on this awesome wreath?

{this post contains affliate links referencing products  used} 

Valentines Clothespin Wreath

BTW- Jill already has plans to on bid on this wreath.  She even wrote up a blog post about it  hanging over her mantel.   So if your attending this event, you’d better bring you’re checkbook.  There might be a bidding war ’cause I  make some awesome wreaths!
.

 

Rolled paper flowers

Since this is a heart cause, I stuck with Valentines colors and used Mod Podge to adhere the paper strips on the clothes pins.  You can see my tutorial on how to decoupage clothespins here.  The flowers were made by hand cutting paper spirals, hot gluing them together and adding a rhinestone to the center.

 

Valentines Clothespin Wreath

I cut a pennant banner from Cricut Flower Shoppe, used Storybook to cut out the font and enhanced  the banner with twine, faux stitching and dots embossing.

Valentines Butterfly Tablescape

Jill requested some decorations for the event too, I know she’s sooo demanding.  I used Spring & Summer Tablescapes to cut out these butterflies.  The butterflies are embellished with coordinating paper, faux stitching, red glitter and CANDi embellishments.

The butterflies can be be clipped on to vases, glasses, candles or used in centerpiece decorations.

Here at the 12 various butterflies I made for Jill.  I know, how good of a blog buddy am I to donate all these crafts items, right?

 

Valentines Clothespin Candle

Valentine’s Clothespin Candle Holder

I wanted to make sure Jill had a little something to keep for herself just in case she gets outbid on the wreath.  I made a candle holder by clipping some clothes pins to a tuna fish can, embellished it with rhinestones and printed off a tag using a Silhouette font.

I wish Jill the best of luck with her event and i hope this  Valentine’s Clothespin Wreath and Candle Holder bring her lots of donations too!

    Holly, everything is precious 🙂 I do hope Jill gets the wreath in the bidding war though 😉

    Oh, and I’m thrilled to have something to do with all of my saved tuna fish cans now (darn, I guess the cat still gets his daily can since I need to keep saving those cans). Thanks 🙂

    Thanks so much for decorating your celebrations at the Decorate To Celebrate! Challenge Blog — we’d love to see your decorations and party supplies for our NEW Challenge!! 🙂

    BIG HUGS,
