Valentine's Day Center Pieces

Who doesn't love Valentine's day decorations?

This post is all about Valentine's. At my church we are preparing our Valentines Day  kids party decorations. All of the decorations are handmade by the teachers of the kids Ministry. We started off with recycled beautiful table centerpieces. The bases are just simple white boxes (we have used these white boxes several times through out the year for all kinds of occasions; baby showers, summer parties, Christmas parties, they are only $5.00 at Michael's craft store).

At the bottom of the white box we filled them up with just some floral foam from the dollar store (we used 2 in each white box, cut it into 2 pieces), we bought just 1 roll of ribbon 1.7 inch thick, because we already had some white with red stripes from Christmas. You can go through your old Christmas decorations from last year you might find some ribbons that you can use. The majority of Christmas decorations or red, why not use them for valentines!! 

To fill the boxes, we used tissue paper, 8 valentine's decoration tissue paper sheets for a $1 at the dollar store. We also bought beautiful heart foam picks (6 picks for only $1.) To add a fun touch to our decoration we made bows with 1inch thick ribbon and  mini pom-poms. For the finishing touch we placed in the middle of the centerpiece a big marshmallow heart-shaped candy and red heart lollipop.

The majority of the supplies and candy fillers are from the dollar store, they do have some marvelous buys, to make some marvelous parties.

Another center piece we made was a marshmallow arrangement, each kid received one of these treats! For this arrangement you will need:

white box, blue wired ribbon, floral foam (2 cut it in half), 2 baby blue tissue paper sheets, medium heart-shaped marshmallows, medium white marshmallows, wood picks, long treats bag wrappers and paper ribbon. You can arrange the marshmallow picks as you want them.

 UPDATE: How did our Party go???

The party went great and everyone had a blast! We set up one long table with chairs for the kids, to have them all together so they could enjoy the party as a big family! Everyone brought cards and exchanged them with all the other kids. The kids loved exchanging the cards ooooo and of course some cupcakes, juice and pizza also made them happy.

Thank you for all the support you give to this blog, next i will be making a gorgeous Easter basket and a Easter wreath!!!!
