Let's Create a Valentine's Tiered Tray
Cupid is Calling!
Celebrate this special LOVE DAY with this adoorable Valentine's Tiered Tray!
Think back to elementary school and the excitement of getting all of those cute little Valentine's cards! Or how about middle school and the butterflies you felt when that special someone asked you to the Valentine's Day School Dance! Then there was high school and the V-Day date night that warmed your heart!
As adults, we still enjoy Valentine's Day but the sparkle of the occasion may have faded a bit over time. Well, this love themed tray will reignite all of those fireworks that you used to feel and light up your February!
Tray Time!

Craft Fur - If you use craft fur, always cut from the backside with a razor. NEVER use scissors! Also, make sure that the fur will be hanging downwards! Nothing like an upside down beard to ruin the fun!
Ribbon
Amazon
Wood Beads 3/4" - I make a lot of Gnomes so I buy in bulk. You can make a Gnome for every month of you tiered tray displays and also give them as gifts! As an extra... use these beads for garland too!
Felt - You can buy felt at the Dollar Tree or any craft store. I prefer to get mine from Amazon because they have very soft colors that I adore :) I also use these colors for succulents and flowers (these will be upcoming for some other trays)
Finger Protectors - I am so thankful for the day that I discovered these! No more burns and scars!
There are many places that you can find themed socks. However, I love the choices on Amazon and I can lay in bed at night and find just what I am looking for! Plus, I will be displaying Gnomes in many of my tiered trays so I am just giving you a heads-up if you'd like to get your supplies in advance. Me? I am a planner! lol And don't forget, each sock will make 1 Gnome! So you will have enough noses and bodies to make lots!
