How to decorate a Valentine’s Day Table

January 25, by Vikram Goyal.

Valentine’s Day table decor is the perfect way to bring back that loving feeling to your home interior design. The great part about Valentine’s Day dÈcor is the fact that red is such a central decorating color. Red is energizing! †Maybe†you miss your colorful Christmas decorations, but haven’t quite entered the spring mode yet, and a Valentine’s Day table decoration might just be what you need. If you need a boost of color to brighten cold winter days, a red Valentine’s Day table design will draw interest to your dining room or kitchen area.

Decorate your Valentine’s Day Table with Linens

Colorful Valentine’s Day fabrics can be found at most craft stores, and eye-catching linens and textiles can be used to bring drama to the room. Some suggestions for table linens include colorful napkins, red placemats, and heart designed table runners. These decorative fabric elements can be used to bring color and pattern to your dining table or kitchen table. Valentine’s Day is the holiday that represents love, so allow textiles and linens that have red as a central color to bring a festive mood to the table. Red is a vibrant and daring color so take advantage of the festive holiday color.

Decorate your Valentine’s Day Table with a Large Red Vase

Your table needs to have a dramatic centerpiece or focal point, so why not allow a large red vase or pot to set the tone for your indoor Valentine’s Day dÈcor. Red vases can be found in various shades and sheens, so choose one that adds a refined elegance to your table dÈcor. Red vases come in sizes ranging from ginger jars to large floor pieces, so a moderately sized one makes a strong impression without being too bold or too large. A red vase that has a translucent glass will add a touch of formality to the room.

Decorate your Valentine’s Day Table with Shiny Accessories

Metallic accessories that have a sparkle bring a sense of adornment to the table area. Some options for add a bit of shine to the table include metallic candleholders, brushed nickel heart accents, or silvery berry branches. These accessories have a subtle shine that makes a Valentine’s Day table come to life.

Valentine’s Day table decorations can create a festive atmosphere for this romantic holiday. One of the exciting elements about Valentine’s Day dÈcor is the fact that red is such an important decorating color. This color can be incorporated into linen selection, table accessories, and Valentine’s Day appeal. If you need a colorful way to brighten cold winter days, a Valentine’s Day decorative design will bring cheerfulness to your dining table.

How to Finish a Cross Stitch Bookmark

One of my favorite ways to introduce new crafters to cross stitch or embroidery is by having them make a bookmark. They’re useful even if they don’t turn out that pretty, and it’s a small enough project that it can be done pretty quickly, even if you don’t have a lot of stitching skills.

For little kids I love to have them start stitching on burlap because the holes are big and forgiving, and they can play with cross stitch or other kinds of embroidery all in one place. These are usually finished with duct tape on the back both to hide the stitching and knots and to seal in the edges so the fabric doesn’t unravel.

There are, of course, prettier methods for finishing a cross stitch bookmark, especially if you are working on Aida fabric. A common thing to do is to fold the fabric over on itself and then sewing down the edges. You can do the same thing with regular fabric or felt sewn on the back, but if you’ve planned to have extra cross stitch fabric on your project that makes it even easier.

If you need help making your cross stitch bookmarks pretty, check out this post with a tutorial from A Stitch of Blissfulness.

The post has plenty of photos to make it clear what you need to do. You can finish all the edges in the same way so that they are closed, or you can make fringe along the top and bottom of the bookmark by unraveling a little bit of the fabric on the ends. She shows how to do this too, and it’s a cute look though I don’t know that I would always do it this way.

If you like to stitch bookmarks, how do you finish them? I’d love to hear about it.
