Valentine Flower Pot

Love is in BLOOM with this cute little Valentine’s flower pot but it almost wasn’t !  I say that because this started out as an entirely different project.  I grabbed about 4 bags of these Heart Picks when I was in Dollar Tree. 






I was originally going to make a heart topiary but soon ran out of hearts.  I terribly misjudged how many hearts it would take to cover my little styrofoam ball.  As I was looking at it and so not wanting to run out and buy about 10 more bags (just to be safe),  I realized it looked kind of like a flower.  Hmmmm…if the center was yellow, it would look more like a flower…no sooner than I thought it, I was up painting the center yellow and my wooden dowel green.  Then I pulled out the hearts and covered the rest of the styrofoam with pink tissue paper.  I just glued it down.  I put my hearts back on and then the dowel.  I put some styrofoam into a ceramic flower pot and inserted the dowel into the foam.  I covered it with some paper shred.  I added a little felt leaf and a ribbon and that was it. 




I like the little flower even better than the topiary that I had planned because it’s a little unexpected and so bright and cheerful!   I think it will look cute in my daughter’s room even after Valentines Day is over.
