Today, I just want to share with you
a very simple, quick and romantic DIY gift for Valentine's Day. Sometimes a
little gesture is worth millions...
1 - Search for your favourite poem, THE
ONE that has a strong meaning for you and Mr Lucky Man.
2 - Buy a beautiful sheet of paper,
a soft colour is better.
3 - Buy a flower with petals (they
are easier to dry and keep the petal shapes). I choose a red gerbera, a seasonal
flower which looks like a daisy but is bigger and has a vivid colour. The gerbera expresses wonderment,
cheerfulness, friendliness and depth of feeling.
4 - Dry the flower for at least one
week in advance. Grandmother’s tip: to dry flowers flat, in order to slip them into
the envelope of your romantic letter, you can lay the flower flat between
sheets of newspaper and place a heavy dictionary/book on top of it.
5 - Choose a handwriting style of
font in Word and print the poem on the gorgeous paper you bought.
6 - Fold your romantic letter with
the dried flower inside and put in the envelope. Et Voilà!!
For Valentine’s Day we tend to
celebrate twice; once at home and once out. So, I will prepare a lovely menu
and place the precious envelope on top of his present.
Hope you enjoy this suggestion.
Je ne suis pas romantique cependant je trouve ton idée simple, élégant et percutant, ça me plaît.
