How to Make a Valentine’s Day Ampersand

affiliate disclosure 2
Hey y'all,

I have a fun little Valentines project for y’all today! Well if you’re like me and you love pink it might just be an all the time project *wink wink* although it’s definitely adorable for February!

Of course, if you don’t adore my project you’ll be happy to know I’m teaming up with 40+ other bloggers to bring you forty adorable Valentines projects! Scroll to the bottom to check it out!

Let’s get started with the project!

I picked an ampersand because they’re adorable… plus they’re super chic right now. Definitely on trend. Of course, if you’re looking for something a bit more Vday related a heart would be adorable… or a few X’s and O’s!

Looking for a bunch of posts on DIY & Crafts? I’ve got you covered!

Supplies:

Canvas Ampersand
6 Sheets of Felt
Hot Glue
Scissors
Stick Pins

Step 1:

The first step is to cut out your circles! If you have a cutting machine or punch this would be a quick and easy step… but I’m still getting my new Cricut in order. One day soon I’ll have my craft room up and running… and my Cricut will follow shortly! Until then good old fashioned scissors still work fine.

Of course, once the first little circle was cut the rest of the circles were quick and easy. With a few stick pins to hold things together I was able to cut four circles at once… majorly cutting down on production time.

Step 2:

Alright y’all, now it’s time to hot glue each little circle to your canvas. In order to make the ruffles fold your little circles into quarters before gluing them down!

I wanted my ruffles to be as loose as possible so I tried not to place too much glue in-between the folds. Take a look at the pictures!

Once all of your circles are glued down your finished! I tried to place mine in different directions… and a bit sporadically. I think it turned out super cute! I think I’ll put this little guy in my craft room… right next to my new Cricut.

Just a little bit of inspiration.

This little Ampersand ended up being the perfect addition to my Craft Room Makeover!

If you loved this project don’t forget to pin for later! On the upside it’s almost time to check out all the other projects!

40+ great valentine ideas
