Valentine’s Day is often filled with lots of red, pink & glittery things ( which I LOVE ) but not everyone does. We wanted to create love inspired projects that weren’t too frilly, after all Valentine’s Day is about sharing quality time with those you love – spouses, friends and even family and a Je t’aime inspired gathering seemed like the perfect idea!
French culture is known for being romantic, but there is nothing frilly about it. It’s passionate, indulgent and earthy. The only pink you’ll find in France is in the wine – particularly the rosé. Share a nice bottle of sparkling rosé with your closest loves & make these je t’aime drink sticks to dress up your display. We used our silhouette to cut out these letters, but you could use pre-cut letters or print and hand cut them yourself.
Je T’aime Drink Sticks
Supplies:
Pre cut letters, Hot Glue and bamboo skewers
Directions:
Step 1: Cut out letters & begin hot gluing the words along the bamboo skewer on the blunt end.
Step 2: Place in stemware and enjoy!

Ooh, that’s so clever! I have to admit, even though I’ve known how to sew since I was about 8 years old, I found that I don’t enjoy it very much, so I like how simple this is. Thanks for sharing! You have a beautifully designed blog, by the way!

Wow, those are really cute and they look really easy too! I know what you mean about not getting around to things. I always have unfinished tasks on my “to do someday” list…

What a clever idea! I love to sew but these look super easy. However, if I made Valentine’s Day cushions, I would not be sitting outside, that’s for sure. But I suppose there are some lucky people out there that could! Thanks for the idea!

All of my outdoor furniture needs need pillows and cushions and I hate how much they cost, but I am terrible at sewing! I am so glad that I found this tutorial today because of the SITS Girls Comment Love Tribe! 🙂
Pinned!

A great way to make some cushions if you don’t sew or don’t have a sewing machine. Thanks for the idea!
