Here’s a fun DIY for you to do for Valentine’s Day on a cold winter day. Follow along as I make a simple decoration for my Valentine’s mantel.
It’s time for another monthly Creative Craft hop, this month we have 9 crafters sharing some fun crafts. A special thanks to Sara, Birdz of a Feather for hosting the craft hop each month. At the bottom of my page, I will share each participant’s link to their craft.

Book Page Cone Heart Tutorial
Supplies needed:
- cardboard shaped into a heart
- book pages
- scotch tape
- scissors
- ruler
- hot glue and glue gun
First step:
Taking the book pages, cut a 2 ½ ” square. I used 110 squares.
Second step:
Form a cone shape with the square, using a piece of tape to keep it together.
Third step:
Hot glue the cones around the edge of the cardboard heart, making sure the tips of the cones are hanging over the edge of the heart.
For the next layer glue each cone between the cones of the first row.
Keep layering and gluing paper cones on your heart shape. When coming to the inner part of the heart, bend the ends of the cones to fit.
Last step:
The very last cone cut the tip of the cone off and glue into the center of the heart.
I made a large book wreath in a previous tutorial; you can click here to see the tutorial –DIY OLD BOOK WREATH.
Look how cute my heart looks styled up on my mantel!

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
This is so pretty. I love that you found a way to upcycle an old book too.
Thank you Donna!
Terrie, what a great idea for a Valentine wreath. Certainly a smart way to use old paperback books. I love how simple the project is, but it looks really intricate. As usual, you come up with unique idea.
Thanks Carol! Happy Valentine’s Day to you!
Fantastic project! It’s so great seeing book page crafts coming back. You did a great job and tutorial!
This is so pretty!
thanks Cindy. I wanted to use creams with my blue, so pages were the best option. I think. Hope all is well with you.
Hi Terrie! I have seen different versions of cone wreaths, but yours is the first heart and I love it! So pretty! Pinned! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Thank you, Cecillia. It was a fun craft to do. Thanks for pinning, I appreciate that.
Adorable Terrie, and your mantel is packed full with cute Valentine DIY projects! Thank you for such an easy to understand tutorial, a perfect project for these cold dreary days!
Thanks Jenna! It was fun creating all the DIYs on my mantel. Happy Valentine’s Day to you my friend!
I’m loving how your paper heart looks, Terrie! You did a fantastic job creating this lovely piece! And it goes perfectly with the rest of your pretty Valentine decor!
Thanks, Gail. It was fun working with book pages for many of my Valentine’s Day decor. Inexpensive as well.
Very pretty, Terrie and I love how the center looks like a flower. Great project!
Thank you, Ann! It was a fun project. Love crafting with you.
That looks so impressive on the mantel Terrie! You really go all out for Valentines!
Sara, thank you! I actually don’t do much for Valentine’s Day. Maybe I will more since we have a little grandbaby. Thanks for heading the hop each month. Always fun crafting with you!
Terrie this is absolutely adorable. I noticed this when you were sharing your mantle recently. I love it. Definitely going to give this a try.
Thanks Tammy. It’s a cute add to the mantel. Very easy to make.
