Love is in the air – Schik-a schik schik-a schik schik-a schik – Everywhere I look around – Schik-a schik schik-a schik schik-a schik schik-a schik – Love is in the air – Schik-a schik schik-a schik schik-a schik – Every sight and every sound... (Y‘all have no idea how long it took me to type that out and yes it’s still probably wrong but you get it, right? Tell me you get it!) Okay so sing-along-with-Cindy is over but today I have A sweet Pinterest Challenge with a cute Valentine’s Day Cloche for you.
If you’re visiting from Follow the Yellow Brick Home, I’m glad you’re here. I adore Amber’s vintage heart – literally! 🙂
A sweet Pinterest Challenge with a cute Valentine’s Day Cloche
Our inspiration photo this month comes from Birgit at Crafting While I Wait. If you’re new here, the idea of a Pinterest Challenge is to take a photo found on Pinterest and recreate it to work with our own styles and in our own homes.
What I observe about Birgit’s cloche is that it’s tiny. Then I notice the paper hearts, the old buttons and the tag hanging on the top. It’s all pretty darn cute.
Glass Cloche for Valentine’s Day decorating.
You’ll see right off the bat that my cloche isn’t small. It’s TEXAS SIZED size si si si. 😉 The cloche didn’t come with a bottom so I get to use all kinds of things. Mostly I use plate chargers. Like the inspo photo, I’m using a galvanized charger purchased from Pier One years ago. Out of all the years I’ve had both pieces I never once considered using them together but I like how it looks!
The hanging heart in the center has four coordinating pieces of card stock taped together and is simply taped to the underside of the cloche. If you’d like to see how I made the paper heart, click here.
It’s fun that one side of the paper heart has a pale aqua blue background. That allowed me to bring out my fave vintage blue bottles. And speaking of vintage, I have a soft spot for old buttons too so when I examined the photo and saw that she used aged buttons I was all-in! Yay!
Make Love Not War!
Did you notice the tag hanging from the top in the inspiration photo? I can’t tell what it actually looks like but it can’t be much cuter than the one I’m using! Hello, who doesn’t love cupcakes?! Well some people may not. If that’s the case, I’m sincerely sorry but I don’t think we can be friends – just sayin’. Cupcakes rule! Pies drool!
Well, how did you like A sweet Pinterest Challenge with a cute Valentine’s Day Cloche? It’s super easy!

Author
Thanks so much Rachel. I have enjoyed walking by the table and seeing it. 🙂
Cindy, first I love the shape of your cloche. Hanging the paper heart from the inside is such a cute idea. Love the cloche inspiration. Thank you for picking it and hosting.
Author
That huge cloche is heavy and not the easiest to tote around. Definitely a two-hander but I love it too. Thank you Carol.
Love it! I love the cupcakes card!
Great job as always managing all of these links! Happy Day Cindy!

I found several of those tags years ago planning to give them away on gifts. Well I’ve kept them all to myself. LOL! I like them too much. Thanks bunches.
Cindy, I love that you started with the song-I sing that with one of my grandsons. So sweet. Your cloche is so pretty. I love the details. What a great group of talented women for this post. If you are ever looking for someone to join your challenges, I would love to. Hugs and blessings to you.
Author
Awe, I love that you sing that with your grandsons! I’m singing it right now. LOL. Thank you for the sweet comment and for the compliment on the group. I agree – there’s some really talented people here. Send me an email and I’ll add you to the list. We have people drop out for different reasons but there is quite the long list.
Your version is so pretty, Cindy. I love the heart that you made and how you made it look like it is hanging from the top of the cloche. Your tag is also beautiful. You have no idea how much I wish I could enjoy a cupcake right now.
Author
Aww, you are right, I don’t know but I’m praying for you! Love you friend.
It’s ADORABLE!!! I love the use of the pretty blue mixed in. So cute…thanks for sharing!!
Author
Thank you Rachel. Those blue bottles are a weakness for me. 😉
Great, now I’ll have that song in my head all day long! Super cute cloche, I love the suspended heart and the colors you chose!
Author
Thank you Cindy. I still have it in my head. I had to watch the video a gazillion times just to count the beats. It was so difficult!
Love those hearts in the cloche. I have a cloche almost identical to yours. Just watch me noow!!!

Thank you Rachel. Took me a while to figure that out. I was absent that day in school I guess. 😉
Oh my goodness your heart cloche is so cute, I had to click over to see how you made the floating heart. Your tag is adorable too, and of course I love cupcakes! Pies drool LOL! Thanks for putting together such a fun challenge this month. Pinning!

Thank you so much for organizing another fun challenge!
Author
Girl, I still have that song rattling around in my brain. Not kidding. Thanks so much Amber.
This is just the cutest! I loved your sweet little heart. Now I wish I would have seen your cloche first. Then I would have copied you and used the same chargers I have from Pier 1! Great idea. Thank you for hosting as always sweet Cindy.
Author
Yay! If we have the same fun chargers, that means I’m like you – yippee! They are heavy aren’t they? Picking them up all at once is a workout, right? Thank you for the sweet comment Kim. Have a great week.
Cute heart! And I really like how you hung it from the top and embellished the string. I can still decorate my glass cloche with ideas from today:)
Author
I was thinking the same thing Lora. I’ve gotten so many great ideas and have plenty of room for improvement! Thanks friend.
I do love your Valentine’s cloche… and, yes, I was singing along with you! 😉 I TOTALLY forgot to add something to the handle of my cloche! Reading your post reminded me I wanted to do that. Dang! Thanks for putting this all together, girl!
Author
My pleasure Julie. I was just saying to Lora that I’ve seen so many great ideas today and have plenty or room to add a few more things to mine. 🙂
