Valentine Heart Garland
January 28th, 2010 @ 1:49 pm

This is a quick and easy project to add some Valentines Day spark to your home decor. I am not a fan of red, and with two guys in the house, I used colors to match our living room.

Tools needed:
piece or two of plain, ruled, or scrap paper
scissors
pen or pencil
patterned or color paper in matching color combo of your choice
ribbon
clothes pins or other closure to secure hearts to ribbon

First I made the heart shape I wanted out of regular paper. I did the elementary school version by folding the paper in half and cutting.

Use the pattern to trace and cut your hearts out of the pattern paper. I made eight, and they are medium sized, around 7×7.

Secure ribbon loosely hanging on your credenza, fireplace, or in a doorway.

Secure the hearts to your ribbon using clothespins. I used stained clothespins, but you could secure with colored paper clips, tape, or even punch a hole through the middle top of the heart and stringĀ  through the ribbon. This would also be fun to let your kids pick out colors they want and hang in their room.

Enjoy your V-tines decor!
