$2 Simple Valentine's Day Pipe Cleaner Centerpiece - takes minutes to make and it's adorable! $2 Simple Valentine’s Day Pipe Cleaner Heart Centerpiece

I have always loved remaking dollar store finds. I’ve been making inexpensive items over for ten years and it’s so fun!! I had some left over pipe cleaners from my Pipe Cleaner Heart Wreath, I thought it would be fun to make a little centerpiece with them!

I found this heart vase at Dollar Tree. It already had the hearts all over it – quite a steal for a dollar!

$2 Simple Valentine's Day Pipe Cleaner Centerpiece - takes minutes to make and it's adorable!

Directions: 

  1. Take full-length pipe cleaners and bend them in half.
  2. Then take one half of the pipe cleaner and bend that half into a heart shape.
  3. Take the end of the heart and wrap it around the heart at the point where it is bent in half.
  4. Straighten out the stem and put it in vase.
  5. Do this with all 20-25 pipe cleaners.
  6. Optional – you can put clear or colored rocks in the bottom of the vase to give it more color. OR – there were red and pink colored rocks at Dollar Tree that would be cute at the bottom of the vase.
  7. Tie a ribbon around the vase and VOILA you have a beautiful centerpiece and unlike flowers, this centerpiece can be used for years!

    Cute. I like the idea of adding rocks or another filler to the vase.
