Did you know that there is a website where you can order an envelope full of glitter and a note. Then they send it to someone that you truly despise? 

Let me introduce myself. I’m Trina Miner from A Few Miner Adjustments. By day, I am a reading teacher and by night, a blogger. I love cozy blankets, Friends reruns and anything DIY. I want to give a big shout out and thank you to Shannah for inviting me to be a monthly contributor. It is a thrill to be here with all of you!

O.K….back to the glitter~enemy~thing. When we first thought of this Valentine project, my cute little helper and I decided on glitter. As a teacher I love a good glitter project. However, I couldn’t imagine sending an envelope full of it to anyone. That is kind of cruel.  

They would be finding glitter everywhere….

for.ever! 

So we made a few Miner adjustments to the garland project.

What you need:

• Elmer’s glue
• Paintbrush
• Paper hearts in different sizes {I used my Cricut to make them}
• Pieces of scrap plywood {left over from plank wall makeover}
  • Alternative: card stock
• Twine/ Ribbon
• Fun washi tape {I got mine from the dollar aisle of Target}
• Drill

Steps:

• Cut the pieces of wood into squares.
  • I didn’t measure them. I eyeballed it…I like that they are not all the same size
• Drill 2 holes in each wood piece near the top
• Glue hearts on the wood pieces
• Add tape
• Paint glue over the whole piece of wood
• Thread the twine or ribbon through the holes
• Space evenly to fit where they will hang

Even without the glitter, this little gem adds a touch of sparkle to any Valentine’s Mantel.
