What’s Valentine’s Day without a Main Squeeze…the Main Squeeze collection from Crate Paper, that is!! This is a fun collection for documenting “love”ly layouts or creating fun home décor for Valentine’s Day. I have a décor idea to share with you today, using Main Squeeze.
Clothespin Frames are very popular in home décor, so I decided to try my hand at making my own. I picked up a floral craft ring at my local craft store to use for the shape of my frame. You could also use a rectangular or square frame. I started the frame, by cutting my twine pieces and then placing them on the back side of the craft ring. I lined up the vertical and horizontal strings in the center first and adhered them with hot glue. Once those two were in place, I added two more vertical and horizontal pieces of twine.
I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut heart shapes from three of the patterned papers from the collection. It took 27 hearts to cover the front of the craft ring. I placed the hearts end to end all the way around the ring and adhered each one with a touch of hot glue. You could machine stitch through the center of your hearts, if you wanted to add some more texture to the project.
After all of my hearts were secure, I created a little cluster at the top of the frame. I used some ephemera pieces to add a Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment, and embellished it with chipboard and a puffy sticker.
I finished the frame by clipping several ephemera pieces to the twine. I always love the cute tags that are in the Crate Paper ephemera packs. Tiny clothespins are perfect for securing the tags and embellishment to the twine.
This would also be a fun way to display your child/children’s Valentine’s Day cards. You could also use this idea for a Valentine’s Gift, by adding a Gift Card to your sweetheart’s favorite store or restaurant! I hope you’ll give this fun project a try!
