You may have known this one was coming... it's getting close to time to decorate for Valentine's Day and you would think I'd have about a zillion options at this point but I don't. 
I'm going with simpler decorating, especially for holidays like Valentine's Day. 
Today I'm using cardboard again, everyone has cardboard, especially right after Christmas! 
So grab a box and a little paint and follow along!
Take a look! ...

Today I'm making an easy banner you can hang up all winter or just when you are expecting snow like we are this weekend! 
This is an easy project and I'm including the printables I created for this project. 
Not a snow lover? This project can be customized to say anything you want it to and the vintage look is perfect if you're a fan of old and distressed.
Take a look...

I made the cutest mini garland today on a whim. 
I had no plans to do this, I had my new watercolor paints out and it just kind of happened. 
This garland is so tiny and is great to hang on small places like a small wreath. 
You may even have everything you need at home right now! 
Take a look...

Here's an easy one today! I'm making ornaments and a banner from a thrifted placemat! Yep, a placemat!
I was lucky enough to find fringed red and white striped placemats in the thrift store recently and I knew I'd use them for Christmas. 
Today was the day, I cut up one of the placemats and made the easiest stockings and mittens that can be hung on a banner or hung on the tree! 
Take a look...

Today's project was a complete experiment! I'm experimenting with things I had around the house and I was curious if this technique would work on burlap. 
If you know how to decoupage with napkins then you're ahead of the game! There are many different ways to do this technique, I'll show you the easiest! 
Grab some burlap, paper napkins and glue...
and take a look...

Here's a fun project that uses a recycled Amazon box and an old curtain! 
I love using garlands to decorate in my home and the simpler the better for me. 
This is an easy project so go grab a cardboard box and follow along! 
Take a look ...

Today I'm making a fun banner to hang on your fireplace or in a window every year! 
I don't decorate for Halloween too much but I sure like to make the projects! 
This time I'm going to create a Halloween banner with a vintage look that I'll want to hang every year! 
The easy technique to get a vintage look can be used on almost anything too! 
Take a look...

Garlands and banners are so much fun to make and really very easy too. 
Today I'm creating a tiny pennant banner to decorate a tiered tray or peg shelf for the Fourth of July.
I used scraps of fabric and a piece of string... that's it!  
Take a look....

Today I'm re-creating a project I saw online. 
I liked the idea of the Christmas banner I saw but distressed and rusty were my goal for the remake. 
If you haven't seen how to recreate the look of rust, you're going to be amazed! 
I'm very happy with the way my Christmas banner came out and it was very easy to use with no special tools. 
Take a look...

I am on a Boho roll lately... 
Creating projects for my home that are not only handmade but use natural elements. 
Today I'm creating a stick garland from a repurposed thrift store find and it couldn't be easier or cuter! 
If you love the runner it is available on Amazon. 
See how easy it is to create with natural elements for your home...

If you liked the easy rag flag I made using scrap fabric and a doily, then you're going to like this one too! 
Who doesn't like a cute project you can make from recycled clothing? 
I sure do! 
So gather your old red and white clothing along with a pair of blue jeans that are headed to donation and follow along! 

Here I go again with American flags. 
During the summer I decorate all over the house with all kinds of American flags, most of them I made. 
If you are visiting from outside the United States of America, please consider using the colors of your flags. 
Today I'm using scrap fabric and a good imagination to create this fun and funky flag garland. 
Come take a peek! 

This might just be my favorite banner of all times! 
I'm using repurposed materials, a little painting, a little stenciling, and a little iron-on technique. 
I created an American flag pennant banner that is great for summer decorating and the best part is that this one is reversible! 
See what I mean...

I love this summer and all the American flags that are displayed during the holidays. 
It is something about the graphics of the flag that I love. 
In the past 12 years on Homeroad I've done a ton of American flag projects and sometimes the simple ones are the best! 
Today's project is for the beginner and is super simple to do! 

Today I'm making an easy Christmas banner to hang on the mantel.
