Thrifted Woven Hearts
Have you ever seen a set of these 1980's nesting heart baskets at a thrift store? Or maybe you already own a set? I see them all the time while thrifting and challenged myself to upcycle them into chic décor for Valentine's Day. To make them look a bit more boho and less country, I bleached them first. You can see how I did that here!
I noticed that the "pins" on the large heart that held it together were loose so I decided to see what would happen if I removed them entirely. I discovered that this gave me 4 separate woven hearts that look much more high end and less like the 80's called asking for their hearts back, lol!
There are so many ways I want to style these in my home so I wrote up a list to hopefully inspire you!
hang one on your front door as a wreath
hang on a large piece of art or on a mirror
use as shelf styling
fill (in basket form) with florals or use as a fruit bowl in your kitchen
lay the separated hearts down the center of your table as a runner. Add candle sticks and a floral arrangement
Hang them from one another suspended from the ceiling for a sculptural mobile
hang in a group arrangement on the wall
treat one like a wreath form and attach florals and greenery for a showstopping wreath
How would you choose to style these in your home? I'd love to know if you have any other ideas! Leave a comment!

love it? pin it for later!
