Changing up your decor to match the seasons

Adding a little colour to a wicker heart

My local B&Q store has some pretty wicker hearts for under £1, and every time I go in the store I want one, but the colouring doesn't fit with my decor so I always leave without one, until now!

B&Q wicker hearts are often on offer for £1

After creating some pretty little Valentine blocks with my son, I decided to decorate the room for Valentine's Day.  Always looking to complete our projects on a budget, I thought the wicker hearts would be perfect.

Creating home decor blocks with the boy

The natural wicker theme would not work in my house, and as my blocks were cream and red I decided to recover the heart with red paint and add a little decoration before hanging it in the window.

I used spray paint to cover the heart, this was by far the quickest way for me and I find it has a perfect finish.

Once dry, I replaced the string with ribbon and used my glue gun to add a strip of ribbon and a gem.  I was going to add a few pieces of ribbon and buttons too, but sometimes I find I get a bit carried away so, for this project, I just added a little with the option to add more at a later date should I wish to change up the heart.
