Here are several fun tips for decorating your staircase for Valentine\u2019s Day:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/files\/2010\/01\/heartgarland.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px;border-top: 0px;margin-left: 0px;border-left: 0px;margin-right: 0px;border-bottom: 0px\" height=\"244\" alt=\"heart garland\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/files\/2010\/01\/heartgarland_thumb.jpg\" width=\"119\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choose a color scheme. I have been pretty big on pink and brown for a few years. This year, I might do pink and white instead. I just need to find the supplies I want in the right colors. Other schemes that are popular are red and white, black and red, or red and pink.<\/li>\n<li>Decide whether you want to let the kids do the decorating. My guys have fun cutting out hearts, birds and flowers to stick on stair risers. It may not be the look I dreamed of, but it is certainly Valentiney!<\/li>\n<li>Select a base for your banister decoration. I like to use pom pom fringe. You need something that isn\u2019t too bold if you will be adding more decorations, but you don\u2019t want it to be so quiet that it fades into the railing.<\/li>\n<li>Add your accents. I made a heart garland from brown and pink scrapbooking papers I love to use. This year, I am thinking about using the glass birds from my Christmas decorating stash, but that would involve getting out the ladder to get into storage. Hmm. Those hearts are looking mighty cute! Maybe a new heart garland for the banister like the one I made to hang on the door last year?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do you have any tips for decorating the banister for Valentine\u2019s Day?<\/p>\n<p>Photo: K Thomas<\/p>\n<p>Post from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\">Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/decorating-the-banister-for-valentines-day\/\">Decorating the Banister for Valentine&rsquo;s Day<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems like a lot of people decorate their staircases for the Christmas holiday and then forget about them for the rest of the year.
