origami newspaper valentine decorations

v-daydiyDSC_2142
i love this do-it-yourself project for valentines. it is so simple and cost me nothing because i only used things i had laying around the house. plus it took me under an hour to complete from start to finish. i usually don't decorate much for valentines but these newspaper hearts are too perfect for the season to not.

  12. I'm so glad you posted this! I also don't usually decorate for Valentines Day, but I love finding cute ideas like this! So thanks for the tutorial.

    I have been following your blog for awhile and I don't know that I have commented before! I love your blog. And my husband is from SLC and we are so jealous that there is a Trader Joe's there now.
