Red, Rustic & Reclaimed for Christmas
A few weeks before Christmas, I participated in a blogger Challenge and came up with the display pictured above. It was a fun challenge and if you are interested in reading more about it, the details are here:
I tried to talk myself into leaving it like is for Valentine’s Day since it has so much red in it. I even tried to convince myself that the jingle bells could be passed off as “love chimes” or something! But I finally came to my senses and decided to do a quick refresh or “tweak”.
The Steps
The first step was to remove the Christmas berry rings, jingle bells and the snowman pick from the three spindles.
The second step was to find some Valentine’s Day ribbon, a heart accent and some red wire. The ribbon came from the Dollar Tree. Each spool has 9 ft of ribbon. I was able to make three small bows and have enough left over to make a small banner from one spool of ribbon. I used the red wire to tie the heart accent in the center of the bow. The red wire is an Oasis Floral product called bullion wire. It is easy to work with and can be used in a number of ways to add interest to your creations.
Next, I tied the ribbons onto the spindles. A very quick, inexpensive way to turn them into a Valentine’s Day decoration!
How to make the Banner
The ribbon from the Dollar Tree was the same width as the middle part of the red ribbon. I used Velcro to stick the two ribbons together to make the small banner. The banner looked good as part of the spindle display or tucked into the corner of the electric candle display.
Quick Seasonal Change for the Electric Candle
I simply changed the candle ring, replaced the jingle bells with a few small red flowers and added the rustic Love sign. The banner is tucked into the side of the bowl.
Valentine’s Day Display in the Cabinet
The display works in the cabinet as well as on top of the wicker coffee table. Since the cabinet area is longer, I can add a few more Valentine’s Day touches such as the vintage Valentine man on wheels. I am not sure how old he is but his wheels still work and his head bobbles! I showed how I decorated this area for Christmas in this post.
The instructions on how to wax the barnwood are also in the post mentioned above. The barnwood came from a crib that used to stand on my family’s farm. I have several posts about the farm but one of my favorites is this one.

PS. I’d LOVE for you to share this at my Sundays on Silverado link party, which opens tomorrow!
Thank you , NIcky! You are more than welcome to share it on your link party! That would be so awesome! thanks again!
Kimberly I love these. They are so pretty. Great way to repurpose those.
Thank you , Terrie!
Wow what a great idea for reusing Christmas decor! I feel like it can be so hard to store so many different holiday decorations, but dressing up the same items for different holidays is so genius. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Olivia! I agree , storing holiday items can be challenging! I am definitely trying to get more out of my decor (like my rhyme?) now that I am living in a much smaller house!
Great makeover idea for Christmas decor. I love the idea of reusing decor for another holiday.
Have a great weekend,
Kippi
Thank you, Kippi! thanks for organizing the hop for us!
Kimberly, I love to repurpose old spindles. You did a great job transforming these into Valentine’s Day decor. Spindles are so versatile for all seasons! I love the vintage Valentine man, too! It was nice to “meet” you on this hop. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Thank you for your kind words, Rebecca! I was happy I was able to participate in the hop! It was a lot of fun! Happy Valentine’s Day to you, too!
I would have never thought about doing this. I love it. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the compliment! They are quickly becoming one of my favorite things to use! I have had them a long time but they got “lost” in a basket until I recently rediscovered them! thanks for taking the time to read my post!
