Remember when I promised I'd have some of my favorite bloggers stopping by for Valentine's day? Well, I wasn't lying! Today's guest post was written by the brains and beauty behind Living Savvy- Tiffany!
For the month of January Tiffany has been doing her No Spend Challenge (link below) - and I knew she could come up with a great V-Day themed craft without spending a dime. Not surprisingly- she delivered something completely creative!

Hello, Beauty & the Beard readers! I am Tiffany from Living Savvy! I was very excited when Laura asked if I would be interested in doing a guest post about my No Spend Challenge. Then she told me it would have to be a Valentines related project.... EEK! I might be the ONLY girl on the planet that does not like or celebrate Valentines day {I know the horror!} But I was sure I could come up with something that would fit my style! I was excited for the challenge!

Hello, Beauty & the Beard readers! I am Tiffany from Living Savvy! I was very excited when Laura asked if I would be interested in doing a guest post about my No Spend Challenge.

I might be the ONLY girl on the planet that does not like or celebrate Valentines day {I know the horror!} But I was sure I could come up with something that would fit my style! I was excited for the challenge!
After poking around in my closets and cabinets looking for some inspiration I found a bag of toilet paper and paper towel rolls I had been saving. A few months ago I pinned a couple of art pieces that were made with toilet paper rolls that I just never got around to making.
I started by cutting the tubes up. I just eyeballed the size... maybe 1/4" to 1/2" rings. I think I used about 4 paper towel tubes and 6 tp tubes... approximately!
I then laid out my heart design.
I used hot glue to attach the rings together.
Once the outside was done I filled in the heart.
I had a weird opening left so I made a heart but I didn't glue it in. I spray painted the heart and hand painted the small heart, then glued it in. I looped some ribbon through one of the rings and hung it over my mantel.
As I was hanging it I asked the hubs if I should title the post "I left my heart in San Francisco"... he just rolled his eyes as he made the punchy drum joke noise! I have to say, I love it! It is perfect little addition to the mantel for Valentines day... even if I don't celebrate the day!
Thanks Laura for getting me to think outside my box!
