Fun Valentine’s Day Ideas from the Dollar Spot

I’m a huge fan of Target’s dollar spot–how about you?

All those shelves of decorative papers, coloring books, washi tape, and goodies in seasonal colors and patterns make me want to throw a party! I picked up just a few items to put together some fun Valentine’s Day ideas. Here are some quick decorations you can add to your holiday table to celebrate:

A Banner Day

Washi tape in Valentine patterns and colors will make an adorable holiday banner. Cut a piece of baker’s twine to the desired length, then cut 1 1/2″ to 2″ long pieces of washi tape. Fold tape in half over the twine, seal both sides together, then cut notches or points into the ends. Repeat with different patterns of tape, spacing evenly over the twine until it’s covered.

Tape the end of each bunting to a lollipop stick or toothpick and top cupcakes or a Valentine cake.

Chalk it up to love

Don’t be afraid to share how you feel by writing sweet messages on these miniature chalkboard easels. Or add guests’ names and set one up at each place setting. You can also use them at your holiday table to describe each dish or dessert to your guests.

Garlands aren’t just for cupcakes! Place washi tape decorations around the table with your party favors and treats.

Hello, Doily

Make your favorite Valentine treats even sweeter with these decorative doilies. Snip a pie-shaped wedge out of each pink or white doily, overlap each side, and tie with a ribbon to create a cone shape. Then fill with candies to share with friends or guests.

Or top off a glass of bubbly with cones filled with special messages…maybe even a proposal!
