Sometimes there is nothing more elegant in a window, whether historic or modern, than old time Valentine’s decorations. With using materials you have around the house, you can make Valentine’s decorations that give the look of old stained glass windows. For those that want an easier project, you can rely on the currently popular trend of vintage Valentine’s cards to create your window. Either way, everyone is sure to find something they like in one of these two projects. Stained Glass Heart Valentine’s Decorations What you will need:

(From Martha Stewart Living, February 2000) Valentine’s Decorations from Vintage Cards The beauty of this project is that it is so easy that anyone can do it, and you still end up with a great Valentine’s decoration. What you will need:
This project can be done in two different ways. First, you can string the ribbon across your window and hang the cards on the ribbon by the fold as a simple Valentine’s garland. Or you can cut the ribbon at different lengths, attach one end inside the card, and the other end at the top of the window. There are a couple different ways you can attach the ribbon to the inside of the card. The easiest way is to staple it. If you would prefer not to see a staple in your project, you can also put glue on both sides of the ribbon and close the card on the ribbon so the glue affixes to both the ribbon and the card. With stinging up the cards individually and having them at different levels, it brings more attention to each individual card, and creates a larger Valentine’s decoration display in your window.
