Heart Garland

Just in time for Valentine’s Day tomorrow is a fun craft to brighten your home with reds, pinks, and of course HEARTS!

I used the instructions from Strumpet’s Crumpets Valentine Paper Heart Chain.

  • Supplies Needed:
  • Colored Construction Paper (I used dark pink, light pink, and red)
  • Ruler
  • Scissors (or a paper cutter!)
  • Stapler
  • String or ribbon to hang your garland

IMG_2194Cut your paper into 1 inch strips. I cut four pieces of each color and had plenty of leftover.

IMG_2195Fold each strip in half.

IMG_2196Staple a piece of string or ribbon at the fold of your first piece of paper. Pull the two ends of your first strip down to make a heart shape. Add additional hearts by stapling the new heart you are going to make to the existing heart at the fold. Staple about 1/4″ up on the paper at the fold to make the top of the heart. See the pictures below!

Hang and enjoy!
