Romantic Valentine's Day Table Setting Crafts and Decor #valentinesday

Valentine’s Day is next week, and for many of us that means treating our sweetheart to breakfast in bed or to a romantic dinner for two. Here are some ideas for making your Valentine’s Day table extra special.

Creating a Romantic Valentine’s Day Table Setting

First stop the thrift shop! Hit your local secondhand store create a lovely table without spending a ton of money. You can find all sorts of treasures there. I scored two rose plates for a few bucks.

And while they weren’t the same color scheme as the rose plates, I also found a couple of white gold edged salad plates at the same store. I liked that the shapes of the dinner plates and these white salad plates were similar. While I loved the simplicity of the small plates, I felt that they needed a little something more.

Swirly Salad Plates

Supplies: Plate, Gold Sharpie Oil Based Paint Pen, rubbing alcohol.

Directions: Wipe the plate down with rubbing alcohol. Draw swirls on the edge of the plate. Let it dry and follow package directions to cure.

Another fantastic thrift store find– mismatched pieces of silverware. Grab two knives, forks and spoons (it doesn’t matter if they match). You can find them for as low as twenty-five cents apiece! I fell in love with this floral pattern picked up these for a steal. With the help of some pink spray paint, they were transformed.

Sweet Silverware

Supplies: Vintage silverware, spray paint and masking tape.

Directions: Clean the silverware and tape off everything but the handle. Following the directions on the can, spray paint the silverware. Clean the part of the silverware you’ll be eating with again. By the way… what’s more fun than PINK silverware? 

There’s one more too-good-to-miss item that’s worth picking up at the thrift store… champagne flutes. They are easy to personalize.
