Valentine’s Day is coming and I have never really decorated for little days like this, but with the girls growing, it is fun for them to get involved and working on something for a little celebration. Then, seeing their little finished project always puts such a big smile on their face. Thus, we made our Valentine’s Day garland and hung it up on the mirror which rests atop our fireplace (and yes, I know the mirror is broken, we like it that way!)…
Now, I saw this garland somewhere and pretty much just replicated it using cupcake liners and doilies. I can’t find where I found it and the Garland blog, I think that had it, is no longer working, so if someone knows where this came from, please send me the link because I would like the give the creator the credit due to them… thank you! Thank you all you wonderful people for sharing all those links and I found the wonderful blog I first learned it from, which is Petunia!!! So much goodness there that you must check it out…
ADORABLE! Doing this immediately!! Were you inspired by that coffee filter garland? I was looking for a link to that the other day and couldn't find it. This is a really, really cute and sweet idea, Rubyellen. Love it! <3
Wish I lived near you so we could meet up for coffee – sounds fun! The garland is adorable!
i first saw the cupcake garland here:

hope this helps 🙂
I first saw the cupcake garland here – http://poppytalk.blogspot.com/2008/12/art-of-display-petunia.html. Yours is beautiful!
Cute idea! I’m afraid if I bust out the cupcake liners my little one will think we’re making — and then demand to make — cupcakes!
omgosh yours turned out darling! BTW I LOVE that mirror! I have seen something similar here: http://pamgarrison.typepad.com/pamgarrison/. Not sure if that’s the source you were looking for.. hth 🙂
So so cute! I think this is probably a common craft since we all have different links to send you to! I saw this idea here before Christmas.
Love this garland! We recently made some coffee filter garland for Valentine’s Day decor – and there are birds involved, so you may want to check it out!
