Cupid’s Arrow DIY

I got this idea from Celebrate Magazine. When I saw it, I knew I had to make them to add to my Valentine’s decor. It is an easy and cheap DIY project that I think you will all love.

Here is what you will need:

-Scissors 
-Hot glue gun/glue
-Glitter scrapbook paper (I used red and pink)
– wooden sticks
-spray paint (I used gold)
– feathers (I used white)

First, Cut out all the hearts. I used a stencil because I’m terrible at drawing hearts.
Second, Spray paint the sticks whatever color you decide.

Third, Hot glue the hearts to the end of the stick with the point facing outward (to look like an arrow)

After it drys, hot glue another heart to the back of the other to cover the other side of the stick.

Next, hot glue a feather on to each side of the stick.

Then, wa la! Cupid’s arrow! I am putting them at each place setting in the dining room to make the room look festive.

While I’ve got you here, meet my Double Venti sponsor, Megan!


Hi! My name is Megan. I blog at Just a Small Town Girl. I’m originally from a small town in Alabama, but now I live in the big city in North Carolina. At the center of my blog is my desire to help others and to share Christ’s love. I blog about my life and the things I think, do, and create along the way. I am married to my best friend and I teach 4th grade at a year round school. I love reading, crafting, blogging, baking, watching football, traveling, and spending time with loved ones. 

I love to take long walks down memory lane so I recently started a link up called Throwback Thursday. It’s held the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month and you can link up a post about anything from your past. I’d love to have you join me this Thursday. I will be sharing about my childhood crushes.

I also have a heart for adoption and my husband and I hope to adopt one day. Until then, I enjoy helping others with their adoption and learning as much as I can about the process. This past fall, I hosted Ornaments for Adoption and I look forward to doing it again this year. Currently, a great blogging friend of mine, Christie from Satisfaction Through Christ, is in the process of adopting her second child. I‘d love to have you read about how you can help her family here.

Chelsea @ Yours Truly

Favorite Tradition: Eating. and eating some more. No, I’m kidding (not really)..one of my fave traditions is every Christmas eve, our whole family drives to town to order takeout chinese food, then during the 30 min wait for our food we drive around the city and look at everyone’s Christmas lights. Then we go home and eat..my other fave!

Abbey @ The Making’s of a Mess

Favorite Tradition: Ever since I was little, me and the siblings always had to sit on the stairs before we went to open up our stockings at the dining room table. Mom had to make sure everything was ready before we came down! We also take a picture of us on the steps each year as well. [Oh, and I love our Christmas morning breakfast…delicious!]

Nikki @ The Crafty Side of Sarcasm

Favorite Tradition: My favorite holiday tradition is decorating the Christmas tree. I do it every year with my mom while my dad is off doing something with my brother while we get “girl” time. My mom is my best friend {besides my brother} & it’s something we’ve done since i was little. She wont let anyone else help if they offer because she said that’s “our thing”. I love pulling out the old ornaments we’ve had for years, her favorite part is hanging the ornaments my brother & I made when we were little {no matter how cheesy we think they are}.

I asked them what their favorite holiday tradition is and this is what they shared:


Taylor @ Goings on in Texas

Blog | Twitter | Facebook | Instagram

Favorite Tradition: When I was a kid, I looked forward to Christmas Eve so much. My family would eat dinner either out some where or someone would cook, we would attend our Christmas Eve service at church and then go look at Christmas lights afterward. When we got home, it was time to open one present (my brother and I) and it was always Christmas PJ’s. And then if my mom’s parents were with us for the Christmas holiday, my brother and I would perform some sort of Christmas play with our grandfather (we had practiced and practiced…haha). I remember one year we did a version of Scrooge and my grandfather played Scrooge and removed his false teeth and everything (I remember that being sort of scary and fascinating all at the same time! haha) These are memories I’ll cherish forever!

Nikki @ From a Miss to a Mrs.

Favorite Tradition: My favorite holiday tradition has to be Christmas Eve at my mom’s house. We always order pizza and chow down in front of the T.V. while we watch The Grinch, then open 90% of our presents. It’s one of my favorite things to do all year long.

Natalie @ At Home with the Hinkley’s

Blog | Twitter | Facebook  

Favorite Tradition: My favorite holiday tradition is decorating at my Mom’s house.  We blast the Johnny Mathis Christmas album on repeat and go to town!  It is so fun to pull out all the old ornaments and decorations that she has had since my brother and I were tiny.

Dani @ Football and Rainbows

Favorite Tradition: For Christmas Slugger, our elf on the shelf, comes out and does all kinds of fun things.  I also take my son, Ashton, out every year to go look at Christmas lights and drink hot chocolate while we are looking.

Favorite Tradition: My favorite holiday tradition is during Thanksgiving weekend, my entire family gets together for Thanksgiving on Thursday. The women go shop for Black Friday while the men go on a big hunt trip until Sunday. It’s the same every year and it never gets old!

Kelsey @ Stories of Kel


Favorite Tradition: My favorite holiday memory is getting together with tons of family and playing music together. We all take turns singing, playing instruments, and dancing. It is so much fun! 


Sarah @ Beyond the Gradebook


Blog | Twitter | Facebook

Favorite Tradition: I have so many favorite holiday traditions.  Christmas Eve services with my family and opening one present on Christmas Eve (always pajamas, a robe, or something of the sort) are my top favorites, though.

Sabz @ The Eclectic Grab Bag

Favorite Tradition:  During the Holidays, my family and I jump in the car and visit Crippsmas Place to see all of the decorated houses and lights they put up ever year in a neighborhood not too far from us.  It’s a bunch of different streets and you can either drive to see it all, but a lot of people walk around with their families to enjoy it a little longer.  On one of the courts, there is a donation center where they collect money to divide between different charities and save a little to update some of the decorations and lights as well.  We love it so much and never miss one year!

Favorite Tradition: My favorite holiday tradition is making Christmas cookies! I cannot wait to make them for the first time with my daughter Addie this year! :)) I am hoping she enjoys it as much as I did growing up.
