I’m so excited to show you my XO Valentine’s Day Mantel! Over the past few weeks I have shown you how to make DIY Glitter XO Letters, DIY Pom Pom Garland and last years DIY Burlap LOVE Banner. I LOVE how it all came together to make a simple and fun Valentine’s Day Mantel that anyone can do!
I wanted a simple mantel I could put together quickly with a punch of sparkle! I decided to go with metallic gold and glitter, which is right on trend. I absolutely love how it turned out, it’s perfection!
The pom pom wreath I had displayed during Christmas and just swapped out the ribbon to something more festive for Valentine’s Day. I loved that I could leave out some of my Christmas decor. {{high fives}} The paper mache XO letters were a new addition. I was able to quickly decorate them using this Glitter XO tutorial. It seriously took about 10 minutes to decorate. I spent more time waiting for them to dry.
I knew I had last years burlap LOVE banner to utilize, but wanted to add more texture and color so I made an easy pom pom garland with yarn I already had on hand.
Let me just say I adore mason jar crafts! You can decorate them to go with almost any style you’re trying to achieve. I spray painted mine with gold metallic paint and then sprayed a layer of sealer. (It keeps the gold paint from discoloring if you happen to put fresh flowers in the vase.) Using the pom pom tutorial I made my own vase of flowers by putting the finished pom pom on a shish kebob stick. Easy peasy!
Last year’s Burlap LOVE Banner was incorporated on my mantel. I LOVE the layered look with the pom pom banner. It accents perfectly with the pom pom and gold glitter decor!
And that’s how I decorated my XO Valentine’s Day Mantel that’s perfect to accent for your Valentine’s Day celebration. Happy Crafting!
