Decorating your fireplace mantel for many different occasions is a simple way to dress up your home. At Christmas time you saw the many ways you could decorate your mantel with my Rustic, Blue & Silver, Bright and Vintage mantels along with with my Autumn Mantel last fall. With Valentine’s Day coming upon us quickly, I decided to decorate my mantel for this occasion. Decorating for Valentine’s Day is quite simple. All it takes is a variety of items in pink & red and some apothecary jars full of candy. I also decided to spruce up my mantel with some homemade felt hearts which were a lot of fun to make. 

Valentine’s Day Mantel

Here are the items that can be found on my Valentine’s Day fireplace mantel:

• White candle holder with two-toned pink candle
• Red foil centrepiece from local dollar store
• Small etched glass art from Sweden – this was located in another room of my home but was repurposed for my mantel
• Apothecary jars filled with candy – cinnamon hearts, conversation hearts and a variety of chocolate hearts in foil
• Pink frame previously used for Miss O’s first birthday party – repurposed with a picture of Miss O in a cute pink ballerina outfit
• White vase with DREAM across it and a large red fake flower – another item repurposed from another room in my home
• Felt hearts made by moi!

• Apothecary jar filled with festive marshmallows purchased from local bookstore. A tip: This was a very large jar and I only purchased one bag of each type of marshmallow. To ensure I had enough marshmallows, I placed a glass in the centre of the vase and positioned my marshmallows around it. This also allows for a few extras to munch on!

• XOXO sign found in the dollar bins at Target. It’s a lovely vibrant red covered in red glitter. I love how the O’s have a heart & lips in them!

• Felt heart found in the dollar bins at Target. This could be used a trivet on your table but I thought it was so intricate and beautiful so I wanted to display it on my mantel.

• Handmade Paper Heart Wreath: You can find the tutorial right here on our website

All-in-all this mantel cost me under $20 to make as many of the items were already found around my home. I really enjoyed assembling this mantel and I’m quite ecstatic with how it turned out. I kept it simple as it will only be up for a short time (not only because it’s a short-lived holiday but also because we want to eat all the candy!). Did you decorate your mantel for Valentine’s Day?
