Feeling the Post-Holiday Blues?
The moment Christmas decorations came down, my house felt a little… bare. Anyone else? It was time to add some happiness back into our space, and what’s happier than pink bows?
I live in a house full of boys—my husband, dog, and baby—so I rarely get the chance to decorate with pinks and girly touches. But Valentine’s Day is my excuse to go all out! When I saw these adorable viral bows making the rounds, I knew I had to try my hand at making my own.
I’m obsessed with how this pink bow garland turned out for our coffee station. It was so easy, budget-friendly, and fun to make. Now I want to sprinkle these little bows everywhere!
DIY Valentine’s Day Bows Garland
Here’s how to create your own Valentine’s Day decoration for your home with these sweet DIY bows:
What You’ll Need:
- Ribbon in your favorite Valentine’s colors (pink, red, or white are classic choices!)
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Hooks (I recommend these multipurpose hooks—they’re game-changers year-round!)
Step-by-Step Instructions:

- Cut Your Ribbon:
Measure out your ribbon pieces. I didn’t get too precise (mom life!), but mine were about 9-10 inches long. You can adjust the size depending on how big or small you want your bows to be. - Tie the Bows:
Need a refresher on bow-tying? I watched a quick YouTube video to perfect mine. Make sure all your bows are tied to the same size for a uniform look. - Create the Garland:
Once you’ve made all your bows, use a hot glue gun to attach them together. - Hang It Up:
Attach your garland using hooks. I like to put my hooks under the shelf so you can’t see them!
Where to Use Your Bow Garland:
- Around a coffee station (like I did!)
- Draped over a mantel or bookshelf
- Framing a mirror or window
- As part of a Valentine’s table centerpiece
You can even make mini versions to hang on your Valentine’s tree if you have one!

Final Thoughts:
This Valentine’s Day bow garland is the perfect way to add a sweet, personal touch to your home decor. It’s budget-friendly, simple to make, and completely customizable to your style. Plus, who doesn’t love a little pink for Valentine’s Day?
