Valentines Family Tree

I decided to make a Valentines tree with photos of my family. I made this tree for Thanksgiving that had tags of things I was thankful for (this picture doesn't do it justice, it looked better in person.)

I printed some photos at the Kodak Kiosk, it had options for mini-prints, and I selected the 9 per 4x6 inch sheet option and cut them apart. Then I cut up some white card stock with decorative scissors

just large enough to make a border and punched holes and tied 6 inch pieces of yarn through and then taped on a photo.

I decided to make it more Valentines themed by adding hearts (which were cut out of construction paper), I didn’t want to leave them plain, so I decided to write the descriptions of love from 1 Corinthians 13 on them. And then I punched holes in them and tied them with yarn like the photos.

I then stuck some branches in a vase and randomly hung the photos and hearts on

The theme of family love can also be seen on my Stand-top Vignette.

This project was completely free for me since I had everything except the photos which I was able to get for free from CVS with a coupon. But I would guess that even if you had to buy yarn/string/ribbon, photos, and a package of construction paper it would not cost more than $5 to make this.

Sorry that all the pictures of people on this blog are blurry, but in this day and age, I don’t think my family and I really want identifiable photos of ourselves all over the internet, so I have blurred them.
